I am happy to announce the successful launch of a new Artist Trading Card* group that I will facilitate here in McMinnville, OR. The April 9, 2012, Kick-off Event for the Mac ATC Make & Trade Group was very well attended by an enthusiastic crowd of ATC newbies as well as seasoned ATCers.
Regularly scheduled swap meets will be held on the 2nd Monday of each month, 6:00-7:30pm, at the McMinnville Senior Center, 2250 NE McDaniel Lane, McMinnville, OR 97128.
We will both make and trade cards, so bring your ATC collection, as well as tools and materials to make cards. Some supplies will be provided.
Suggested Themes for the next 3 meets are:
May 14
Motherhood
June 11Heritage (Genealogy/Ancestors/Culture or your own interpretation)
July 9 Hometown
There will also be a materials swap, so clear out some of that clutter to donate to the "Give & Take" bin. Give if you can and take what you need. Everyone can participate, whether you've donated or not. New materials inspire new ideas!.
Questions? Call Patty at 503-481-2002 or

*Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are small pieces of original art (2.5" x 3.5", the same size as baseball trading cards) that you make and then trade with other ATC enthusiasts at face-to-face swap meets. They are a fun way to be creative while building community, friendships, and your own art collection.
