Calling all artists on the shores of the Salish Sea and beyond! You are invited to come for an afternoon of Artist Trading Cards.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 9
12:30 to 2:00pm
The Alley, upstairs from our store

What’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.

We 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

Make them ahead of time, or make them on the spot. We’ll bring some blanks and other art supplies.

And this is a family-friendly event!

FERRY & OTHER TRAVEL INFO

Coming from Vancouver Island? Catch the 9:55am from Little River & head home on the 5:15pm (or 8:45pm) home

[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]

Coming up the Sunshine Coast? You’ll want the 10:35am from Earl’s Cove, and the 4:55pm (or later) home.

Want to make a weekend of it and also attend our birthday party on Saturday, August 8? There are several accommodations within walking distance:

Waterways, A Boutique Hotel
Base Camp Suites
Beyond Bliss Suites

Plus 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.

Can you believe it’s been 5 years already?! Time is weird – sometimes it feels like it’s been forever, and sometimes like it was only yesterday we opened the doors.

As you have come to expect, our birthday (or is it an anniversary? birthaversary? we haven’t quite figured that out yet …) will be filled with all kinds of fun things like our Make Your Own Button and colouring table, yummy treats and fun prize draws. Stop by the store to pick up your button template before the party.

Please mark your calendars accordingly and stay tuned for updates of other fun activities throughout August as we finalize the important details.
