The last couple years we held the Art Swap on Facebook while TC was dark but it's time to bring it home!

Tiki Oasis is scheduled for 8/3 this year, let's end the Swap on 7/23. If any of the Swap pairs are both attending TO, that will give them time to arrange a meet-up in person.

We have tried doing themes and not doing themes with varied results. This year Mauka Hale and Hamo suggested we do an "Oceanic Arts" in honor of the recently closed "Oceanic Arts in Whittier CA. Make something inspired by this catalog. https://www.peekaboogallery.com/oceanic-arts-vintage-tiki-collection-auction/ https://web.archive.org/web/20210622075258/http://oceanicarts.net/

It's a broad category, you should be able to find something to inspire you

Official Swap Rules - Artists create an work of Tiki art. Can be any media; clay, wood, paint, fabric, beads, digital, metal, glass, mixed media, etc. The intent is for this to be an original "one-off" work of art, not part of a mass produced run. If it is created from an existing mold it should be heavily modified. Digital art or screen prints should be printed on a nice substrate, not just run off on a piece of art pad paper. You must post a picture of your finished piece by the deadline in order to be included in the drawing, anyone who does not show evidence of a finished project will not be included in the name drawing. Names will be drawn at random and paired together, these people will swap art. Remember that you will probably ship your art to your partner, don't make anything so large or heavy that it cannot be shipped cost effectively (We have even had non-US Swappers) If you are not an established Swapper and/or established TC member, I will ask for real name and cell phone number so we have a solid contact in the event of a problem. Most of all, have fun and interact with some fellow TC folks
