During this exhibit\, you’ll find EVEN MORE CARDS extending beyond the merchandise area into the gallery space and sorted by a word that rhymes with THIRTY\, such as flirty\, earthy\, wordy\, purty\, and more. Card making has been an ongoing part of Del Ray Artisans’ history. Even prior to having our own physical gallery\, cards were made for sale by individual members for fundraising purposes. This tradition has continued for thirty years! \nMore recently\, in 2020\, the Creative Card Swap was started to keep artists connected to each other during the pandemic. The activity was so popular it became an ongoing\, recurring Del Ray Artisans program. In conjunction with The Big 3-0 exhibit\, we’ll launch an online exhibit of special cards traded in the Creative Card Swap. View this collection to witness the great breadth\, creativity\, and joy of handcrafted cards. \nThe Big 3-0 members showcase runs September 2 – October 1\, 2022 at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Colasanto Center\, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue\, Alexandria\, Virginia 22301.
