WOW! Artists Trading Card Fall Swap at the 4th Friday Art Walk, November 28th!!!

Come to THE ART STORE ~ 109 South Granite Street, in downtown Prescott, AZ ~ on Friday, November 28, 2008 from 5 PM to 7 PM and you will be able to participate in our Artists Trading Card Fall Swap! All materials will be supplied by THE ART STORE!

So, you might ask… “What is an Artist Trading Card? And why do I want one?” Artist Trading Cards are small pieces of artwork that are 2 ½ inches by 3 ½ inches ~ the same size as a standard playing card and many other collectible cards. These wonderful, works of art are highly collectible all over the world. Artist Trading Cards are produced in all media and may be originals, limited edition prints or reproductions. The only restrictions are that their outside dimensions are 2 ½ inches by 3 ½ inches and that they are not for sale. You can only obtain an Artist Trading Card by trading one of your cards for it.

Don’t have any Artist Trading Cards? Never made any Artist Trading Cards? Have nothing to trade for these lovely works of art? Come to THE ART STORE ~ 109 South Granite Street, in downtown Prescott, AZ on Friday, November 28, 2008 from 5 PM to 7 PM and make a card that you can keep or trade for another card. Join the fun and start your collection! All materials will be supplied by The Art Store!!!

The Fall Swap will be an open trade night with lots of opportunities to create cards in a variety of media. All ages and skill levels are welcome to attend! This will be a fun, relaxed event ~ be sure to stop by and join in the fun. See you there!

Give a Lifetime of Memories

A gift can mean so much. Did you know that custom picture framing makes a great gift? Why give that special person some mass-produced off the shelf item that will be forgotten by next Christmas? Think about all of those treasures your loved ones have stuffed away in a file cabinet, in a box, under the bed, in the closet – never to see the light of day. Christening gowns, medals, diplomas, needlework, collections, artwork… all of these things and more can, and should, be displayed. A great frame is a unique and memorable gift that will last a lifetime. Custom frame it for a lifetime of memories.
