Unleash Your Creativity: Monthly Artist Trading Cards at O'Connor

Calling all artists, crafters, and creative minds! The O'Connor Senior Center is hosting its monthly Artist Trading Card (ATC) meeting, and it’s the perfect opportunity to connect, create, and share your artistic talents. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, this event promises inspiration and community like no other.

What Are Artist Trading Cards?

Artist Trading Cards are miniature works of art, typically measuring 2.5 x 3.5 inches—the same size as a standard trading card. These tiny masterpieces are created to be traded, not sold, making them a unique way to share creativity and build connections. From painting and drawing to collage and mixed media, the possibilities are endless!

• Meet Like-Minded Creatives: Connect with fellow artists who share your passion for art and creativity.
• Learn New Techniques: Discover tips, tricks, and techniques from other participants.
• Trade Your Art: Swap your creations with others and build a collection of unique pieces.
• Flex Your Creative Muscles: Use this as a chance to experiment with new styles and mediums.
