The DEAL Playing Card Project

Artwork for this "exhibition in a box" was donated by artists living in Minnesota, USA. The contributions, of various sizes and media, were exhibited at No Name Gallery and then sold at public auction in June 2000.  The deck of cards illustrated below was produced as a creative collaboration between No Name Exhibitions and Red Eye, and made possible largely through volunteers and sponsorship of various kinds.

The deck is really interesting to study - the variety of techniques and media - the styles of expression and design - lots of good ideas - all the works deserve to be seen in a gallery to be fully appreciated. The back features richly grained planks, a type of literal "deck".

52 cards, 2 jokers plus 2 extra cards in a plastic box, accompanied by a gallery guide containing facts, musings and notes about the artists.
