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
