About

“It’s such an immediately gratifying way of getting a response to your work. It was a really friendly crowd too. No snobbiness that you can sometimes get at events. The format encourages people to talk and be open and just plain old nice.”
– Jen Crothers
For 10 years, from 2009—2018, the creators of Hot One Inch Action presented CARDED! a one-night only show of art reproduced on trading cards. The work of fifty artists presented on trading cards and made available for art lovers to collect and trade. These 2.5″x3.5″ cards were displayed on the gallery wall and the audience offered the opportunity to buy random cards in mixed packs of five for $5. Didn’t get the card you want? Get into some fast paced trading action with the people around you. How bad do you want that card!?
