Paper Traders is an active online community that nurtures and values creativity. Our projects primarily consist of mixed media collage, Artist Trading Cards, altered objects, assemblages, collaborative journals, mail art, etc. We embrace new ideas, products, and techniques.

We are interested in talented artists who wish to challenge themselves artistically and who are interested in connecting with others, building a creative community, and sharing their creative efforts as well as techniques, resources, feedback, and insights. We encourage conversation about art, the art process, and what it means to be an artist.

When applying, please direct us to a website where we can view your art or submit digital examples of your work. What we want to see in our members is imagination, inspiration, innovation, originality, and quality.

Our moderators are Keron Lee, Connie Holso, and Beckie Holso.
