Astro Art Trading Card Club

Announcing my Astro Art Trading Club
Where Creativity Happens
Creative Club
There is something rather magical about creating alongside other people.
Not because the artwork must be perfect, but because creativity seems to grow when it is shared.
A conversation begins.
Someone tries a new technique.
Another person discovers a different way of seeing the world.
Before long, a simple afternoon has become something memorable.
At Starzology, I believe creativity is not about becoming a great artist, but rather about living a meaningful life, making beautiful things and sharing moments of connection with others.
With that thought in mind, I am delighted to introduce my Astro Art Club in downtown Vancouver.
A New Astro Art Creative Club
Downtown Vancouver
This is a new seasonal gathering in downtown Vancouver for people who enjoy creating small works of art, spending time with other creative souls and, if they wish, swapping astro art trading cards.
No artistic experience is required.
If you can hold a pencil, enjoy making things and would like to spend a pleasant afternoon with like-minded people, you are warmly welcome.
What Are Artist Trading Cards?
Miniature Art
Artist trading cards, often called ATCs, are original miniature works of art measuring just two and a half by three and a half inches.
Think of them as tiny canvases filled with imagination.
Astro Trading Cards (ATCs)
I’m now hijacking the artist trading card movement and creating my new Astro Art Trading Card club.
Handmade
Each card is handmade.
You might use watercolor, colored pencils, collage, ink, acrylic paint, rubber stamps or mixed media.
There are no rules about style, only that the artwork is your own.
Never Sold
The tradition is that these little artworks are traded rather than sold.
Every swap is an exchange of creativity between two artists.
Artist Trading Cards have been enjoyed by creatives around the world for many years and have become a wonderful way to share art in a small and meaningful format.
Why Start a Club?
Creating Together
Many of us spend our astrology practice and other creative time working alone.
While there is joy in that quiet space, there is also something wonderful about sitting around a table with a cup of tea, opening a sketchbook and making art together.
Not a Class
The Starzology Astro Art Club is not a class.
There are no lessons to follow and no pressure to produce a masterpiece.
Welcoming Space
It is simply a welcoming place where we can gather, create, chat, encourage one another and enjoy making astro themed art.
My hope is that you leave feeling inspired, creatively refreshed and perhaps having made a few new friends.
Four Times a Year
Rather than meeting every month, our club will gather once each season.
That feels right to me.
At Starzology I believe the solar seasons offer a gentle rhythm to our lives.
Each one brings different colours, different moods and different inspiration.
Every club meeting will celebrate the season we are in, with an optional theme for anyone who would like a little creative inspiration.
Themes
Possible seasonal themes might include:
- Winter: Solstice, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Earth, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Outer planets, Yule and Imbolc.
- Spring: Equinox, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Fire, Mars, Venus, Mercury, personal planets, Ostara and Beltane.
- Summer: Solstice, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Water, Moon, Sun, Mercury, eclipses, Litha, Lammas
- Autumn: Equinox, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Air, Venus, Pluto, Jupiter, social planets, Mabon and Halloween,
What You Need to Know
Venue
I plan to use a coffee shop in downtown Vancouver for the Astro Art Club meetings.
The event will be held in a private back room which I will reserve and pay for.
I hope to choose venues that are easy to reach by public transit and comfortable for everyone attending.
To support the establishment and show goodwill, I kindly ask that everyone purchase a beverage or pastry.
Cost
There is no charge to attend.
Attendance
There are no membership fees and no obligation to attend every gathering.
You are welcome to join us whenever the dates suit you.
To begin with, attendance will be limited to six people.
This may change in the future depending on your interest.
Join the Waitlist
Now, I am gathering expressions of interest while I organize the venue and date.
Joining the waitlist is free and carries no commitment.
It simply means that you will be among the first to hear when our inaugural Astro Art Club is announced.
When there is enough interest, I will email everyone on the waitlist with the proposed venue and date.
Confirmation
People may then confirm whether they wish to attend.
Astro Art Get-together Go Ahead
Only when I have sufficient confirmed attendees will the gathering go ahead.
As with all new adventures, we will learn together as we go.
If you have any thoughts or questions, I would love to hear from you and you can emeil me at Starzology@gmail.com.
Ready to Join In?
Email me your name at starzology@gmail.com for the free waitlist and to be the first to hear about upcoming Arty get togethers.
What to Bring
Bring your sparkling self, as I shall, so that we can all enjoy an uplifting afternoon together.
You are welcome to bring:
- Your own pre-made Astro Art Trading Cards to swap
- Your favorite art supplies
- A sketchbook or journal
- Your curiosity and love of making things
Many people prefer to use their own supplies and I completely understand that.
However, I will also provide some basic cards and basic art materials for anyone who does not have their own.
Optional Trading
Trading is entirely optional.
You are very welcome to simply come along, create and enjoy the company.
Our First Astro Art Club Get-Together
Winter 2026/2027
I hope to hold our first gathering in Winter 2026/2027.
Winter is when the Sun is in Capricorn, Aquarius or Pisces.
I am penciling in a Saturday afternoon from 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm.
Proposed Agenda
Outline
- 1:50 pm – Arrive and purchase your beverage
- 2:00 pm – Welcome and introductions
- 2:15 pm – Creative time begins
- 3:30 pm – Optional Artist Trading Card swap
- 3:50 pm – Closing comments
- 3:55 pm – Tidy up
- 4:00 pm – Vacate the room
If there is insufficient interest for a summer launch, we shall simply postpone until the autumn.
Is This for You?
This gathering is for:
- Aspiring astrologers
- Student astrologers
- Journal keepers
- Crafters
- Creative souls
- Established astrologers
- Anyone looking for a little more creativity and connection in their life
This club is inclusive and everyone is welcome.
Children
A child is anyone 18 years old or under.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept children under eighteen years of age unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.
I say this because in the past some children arrived at one of my astrology meetings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to make cards beforehand?
No.
You can create your cards during the gathering.
What if I have never made an Astro Art Trading Card?
Perfect.
Many people will be trying them for the first time.
Do I need expensive art supplies?
Not at all.
Basic materials will be available.
Do I have to trade my cards?
Absolutely not.
Trading is always optional.
My Vision
Creative Tradition
Perhaps this is the beginning of a new creative tradition.
One tiny card.
One conversation.
One season at a time.
Only time will tell.
Cosmically yours,
Alison
