Kotae Expo’s Creative Corner offers visitors a chance to try out a variety of artistic and other creative activities, such as drawing, painting, crafting and crafts. The work is mainly self-directed, so you can try out all the activities at your own pace.
The Creative Corner is not only for those interested in art, it welcomes everyone to enjoy and experience the joy of creativity!
Art Trading Cards
At the Art Trading Card Design and Exchange Spot, you can design your own art trading cards and exchange them with other artists. Kotae Expo’s art trading cards borrow their ideas from the ATC and ACEO cards. The only rule is that the cards must be 63 x 88 mm in size and Kotae Expo art trading cards are for trading only, not for sale. All formats are allowed, as long as the card stays within the dimensions given. Cards may be handmade or printed. You may therefore wish to prepare your cards in advance at your own expense. We recommend a minimum thickness of ~170g/m2 paper. There will be a limited number of card bases available in the Creative Corner for visitors to use.
