The Art of the Draw
Local Artists' Playing Cards

54 Wisconsin and northern Illinois artists have created original works for Art of the Draw playing cards.  Each artist was challenged to design a piece of artwork that incorporated the suit of a particular card.  A new deck, Art of the Draw 2, is to be released on December 10, 2011 during a reception from 6-9 PM at ArtWorks, 5002 7th Ave., Kenosha, WI.  The original work of the artists included in Art of the Draw 2 will be on display in the ArtWorks gallery that evening. Visitors may bid on these pieces with proceeds benefiting Kenosha Community Media, a nonprofit organization, whose Southport Press division creates projects and publications to showcase local artists and authors.
 
Artwork for the card backs and the tuck box, as well as design/layout work for this product, was provided by Joshua Frazer.
 
The Art of the Draw is a limited edition deck.  You may purchase the deck for $12.00 each at any of these locations
