Southwest Arts Center hosts the Trading Cards Exhibition, a creative way to collect original works of art from other artists. Artist Trading Cards (ATC) are original, self-produced works of art produced on a 2.5” x 3.5” surface.  ATCs have been a growing movement since 1997 and they have sparked interest among artists who also like to “trade” their work to other artists participating in exhibitions.  During the Southwest Arts Center’s Trading Cards Exhibition opening reception, artists will be able to “trade” as well as create and exchange their own artistic trading cards.
