SUMMARY:PR - The Alley: Artist Card Trading Night - Family Friendly
DESCRIPTION:Last Thursday of the month. \nMake the cards at home\, or make them when you are here- have a pint of Persephone beer or cider and revel in the colours and designs of a rad community of artists. Snap a pic of your collection and tag us in it-we love staring at all the colours!\n\nArtist Trading Cards are self-made unique works or small series\, signed and dated on the reverse by the artist/producer\, exchanged and collected by the people who participate in this collaborative event. There are only 2 “rules”: the cards must be 2.5″x3.5″ (the same as modern hockey cards or baseball cards)\, and they are only to be traded\, not sold.

SUMMARY:PR – The Alley: Artist Trading Card Summit 2026
DESCRIPTION:Calling all artists on the shores of the Salish Sea and beyond! You are invited to come for an afternoon of Artist Trading Cards. \nSUNDAY\, AUGUST 9\n12:30 to 2:00pm\nThe Alley\, upstairs from our store \nWhat’s that? You don’t know what Artist Trading Cards are? Well\, in short\, Artist Trading Cards are self-made unique works or small series\, signed and dated on the reverse by the artist/producer\, exchanged and collected by the people who participate in this collaborative event. There are only 2 “rules”: the cards must be 2.5″x3.5″ (the same as modern hockey cards or baseball cards)\, and they are only to be traded\, not sold. \nWe hold regular ATC meetups every month on the last Thursday of the month\, but that doesn’t really work well for anyone who has to take a ferry so for our birthday month\, we decided to have a ‘summit’ and time it in such a way that folks who have to travel from away can make a day of it and still get home and sleep in their own beds. See below for \nMake them ahead of time\, or make them on the spot. We’ll bring some blanks and other art supplies. \nAnd this is a family-friendly event! \nFERRY & OTHER TRAVEL INFO \nComing from Vancouver Island? Catch the 9:55am from Little River & head home on the 5:15pm (or 8:45pm) home \n[Hot tip: the location is only 2 blocks from the Westview ferry terminal so you don’t even need to bring your car! Unless you want to zip around elsewhere after the summit before you head home] \nComing up the Sunshine Coast? You’ll want the 10:35am from Earl’s Cove\, and the 4:55pm (or later) home. \nWant to make a weekend of it and also attend our birthday party on Saturday\, August 8? There are several accommodations within walking distance: \nWaterways\, A Boutique Hotel\nBase Camp Suites\nBeyond Bliss Suites \nPlus loads more a little further away\, and some truly amazing camping opportunities. Reach out to our wonderful Visitor Information Centre if you need any more information or advice.
