Back to Spring Show Information

This is a fun event for AOM members who would like to participate. Just create and bring 10 trading cards (size approximately 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches) of whatever design and whatever material you choose.

On Saturday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. the cards will be layed out so everyone can see them for about 10 minutes. Each artist then collects his/her cards, and when the timer goes off, for 10 minutes each artist must exchange all of their ten cards with another participant until they have accumulated 10 different cards from 10 different artists. At the end of the event (approximately 30 minutes) artists will have received 10 different artworks.
