Knoxville is gearing up for a unique and creative gathering as the O’Connor Senior Center invites residents to a monthly meeting focused on Artist Trading Cards (ATCs). This fun and engaging event will take place on Monday, September 23rd, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. At this gathering, anyone interested in the art of making and trading ATCs is welcome to join.

What to Expect

The Artist Trading Card meeting is part of a series that occurs on the fourth Monday of each month. Participants can look forward to a relaxed environment where creativity is encouraged. The gatherings are free of charge, making it an accessible option for all art enthusiasts. Refreshments will be served, adding to the welcoming atmosphere.

One of the main objectives of this event is to foster a sense of community among participants. “We want everyone to come together to create something special, while enjoying the process of trading and sharing cards,” said organizers.

ATCs are unique in that they can be made by anyone, regardless of age or skill level.
