ARTiculations Art Supply invites you to participate in their new community project, the Bookmark Exchange.
This is a chance to take a moment for art-making during a busy season and exchange miniature artworks with each other in the ARTiculations community. Register in store at their shop in the Junction neighbourhood or online now until Friday, December 20, 2024. The submission deadline for finished bookmarks is Tuesday, January 7, 2025. Bookmark submissions will be on display at an ARTiculations community exhibit from Tuesday, January 7 to Friday, January 31, 2025 – with the exchange happening on the final day of the exhibit.
Why participate?
For fun! ARTiculations loves a good art exchange – create something meaningful to share and receive a unique piece of art in return. It’s a moment to connect with your community, and participate in an exchange of ideas and art. They hope you’ll join them to celebrate the holiday season and the launch of Hahnemühle papers (high-quality, 100% cotton) at the shop.
Choose how you’d like to participate:
- Hahnemühle Gift Pack (while supplies last): An amazing, limited edition curated kit, including a 100% cotton Hahnemühle bookmark pad, three Schmincke Horadam watercolours and a Da Vinci brush – perfect for diving into this project and exploring premium materials. (Cost: C$45.00 | Value of over C$70.00)
- Basic Entry: Includes two Hahnemühle 100% cotton bookmarks to create and exchange. This small fee helps ARTiculations cover costs for the program while ensuring accessibility for all participants. (Cost: C$5.00)
- Exchange Only: Pick up your bookmarks (on them!) and join the exchange. This option also uses Hahnemühle’s high-quality cotton watercolour bookmarks. (Cost: Free)
*Due to the Canada Post strike, there is no mailing option available at this time.
