Artist Trading Cards are miniature works of art. Usually about the size of a baseball or playing card, (3 ½” x 2 ½”) they have become a tradition among artist collectives across the country. Cards can be made from various materials: clay, paper, wool, cookie... Subsequently, their cultural value is greater than that of your VISA, and they're about the same size! Stick it to capitalism with this non-corporate investment opportunity. This event provides a low-risk environment in which to diversify and expand your portfolio of cultural shares by facilitating the redistribution of such investments through social mingling and general frivolity.
