Strathmore Artist Papers – New Artist Trading Cards

High quality Strathmore fine art papers are now available in Artist Trading Card size.  This popular and fast-growing ATC movement began with Swiss artist M. Vanci Stirnemann in 1997.  Artists around the world create, trade and collect art at organized “swap” events, either in person or online.  It’s a great way to meet other artists, share creations and build unique collections.  The only official rule is the trading card size must be 2.5” x 3.5”. Strathmore has assembled 9 of their bestselling papers plus envelopes in trading card format to cover a full range of mediums that include drawing, watercolor, acrylic, oil and mixed media collage.  See your art materials retailer, visit www.strathmoreartist.com and see “Art Opportunities” below.
