SUMMARY:Creative Card Swap Online Exhibit (opens 9/2/22)
DESCRIPTION:Discover the great breadth\, creativity\, and joy of handcrafted cards in this online collection. Creative Card Swap Online Exhibit opens Friday\, September 2\, 2022. We hope it inspires you to sign up to participate in our Creative Card Swap. \n \nIn 2020 the “We’re all in this Together” 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 now called Creative Card Swap. Two years after we began to swap and with over seventy-five artists around the country having participated\, the 40th swap group is now forming. \nArtists sign up for a one-time exchange (or “swap”) of handmade cards within a group of four participants. There is no cost to participate—except for the 3 postage stamps you’ll need to send your cards to the artists in your group.  In exchange you’ll receive three delightfully different handcrafted cards from different artists. Sign Up to swap at DelRayArtisans.org/card-swap \nView Online Exhibit | Sign Up to Swap
