We used to live close to a library that hosted a small rotating art gallery. It was a special treat to visit the library and swing by to see the art. Every month or so they would change it up and feature a different artist, often local, or a different theme. The fact that it was small was just right for us on an afternoon outing.
Today I’m going to share our mini gallery. I set out the challenge, rainbows, for St. Patrick’s Day.
Rainbow and mini to be exact.

Son-age 8 His piece has been nicknamed “Oil Spill” by his dad.
Artist Trading Cards or ATC are the “mini” part of this project.
If you haven’t heard of Artist Trading Cards learn more here and in even more detail here.
One thing is that they are always 2.5″X 3.5″. You don’t have to use any special paper. You can cut your own ATC to the same measurements. Create a mini masterpiece and then trade and swap your cards with friends, family, or even join a group that swaps every month.
As for us we are enjoying the “mini” of the whole ATC idea.
And for now, setting up our own mini gallery!
Create something everyday!
