As most of you know, The Art Store hosts some fun events for local artist. The newest ones are an ATC swap, Shoes That Fit Auction, and this year’s Art Market.

ATC stands for Artist Trading Card, local artist create a small piece of their original work on a card and then swap them with other local artist. The Art Store will be hosting this event on Feb. 8th. Only the first 20 artist will be able to participate, but they will provide the cards and a space to work on them. They also have set up the swap with artist from Omaha. All you have to do is show up with your own medium and do your thing. (Sorry, no oil paint unless non-toxic)

Any local artist can participate in the Shoes That Fit Auction. Starting Monday, Jan. 19th, you can stop by The Art Store and pick up a used satellite dish to turn into a piece of art. Then drop it back off at The Art Store by Feb. 10th for the auction that weekend.

This year’s Art Market applications will be out soon. I participated in that last year and was very pleased by the turn out. It is a great way for up and coming artist to get their names and art work out there.

If you have any questions or if you would like to talk with someone about partaking in these events, you can email JoAnne at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
