11 September ­ 14 November 2008
Closing Celebration and Trading Session:
Friday 14 November 2008 from 7:00 ­ 8:30pm

The RAG’s 3rd Annual ATC Exhibition is a display of Artist Trading Cards from local, national, and international participants. This year the exhibition will include workshops, trading sessions, artist talks, and a closing celebration/trading session. All contributors will receive a copy of the show poster featuring one of their works.
What Are ATCs? Artist Trading Cards are miniature works of art measuring 2.5” x 3.5” that are made to trade. ATCs are intended to be a non-commercial, non-hierarchical avenue for artistic exchange. Cards are traded one for one, and everyone is invited to participate. For more information on the history and making of ATCs, please visit http://www.richmondartgallery.org/atcs/atc.php.
2008 ATC Exhibition Theme:
ATCs will be on display alongside the exhibitions MARGINALIA: Getting Out of the House by Margaret Dragu and Pam Hall, and Patron Saint of Waterskiers by Emily Rosamond.

(See http://www.richmondartgallery.org/marginalia.php, http://www.richmondartgallery.org/rosamond.php)

In conjunction with these exhibitions, ATC submissions should reflect one or more of the following themes which relate to the works of Dragu & Hall, and Rosamond:

o Life as Art
