Artist Trading Card Exchange

Frequently Asked Questions:

A: You can mail your set of 20 (in trading card sleeves)with $6 US check or money order for postage & handling to Freeport Square Gallery, PO Box182, Freeport, ME 04032 and we will trade for you. You will eventually receive one of your cards and 18 others - we have been warned that the process can take significant time,(the Gallery will keep one)

is sponsoring an
Artist Trading Card Exchange
Sunday, April 11, 2010, 1-4 pm


ARTIST TRADING CARDS are miniature works of art created
on 2 ½ X 3 ½ inch or 64 X 89 mm card stock. Sign, number and date the back of each card.
There is no theme, all techniques are welcome. These are original, small editions and, most importantly, self-produced. Anyone can make them. Trading is done in person. Meeting other artists is an important part of the experience. We are asking that people bring an edition of 20 cards – one will be left at the gallery and one should be kept by the artist to make sure you have a complete edition. You can bring more than one edition but the basic requirement is the same.

Send an email to freeportsquare@gmail.com if you plan to participate. This is not necessary, but it will be helpful to have an idea of the number of participants.

The project was initiated in 1997 by Zurich artist M.Yänçi Stirnemann and has continued around the world since then.
