Frequently Asked Questions

  • Petrichor Collective is a community-driven Art and creative workspace located in Old Town Fort Collins, Colorado, at 131 E Lincoln Ave. Petrichor Collective aims to break down the financial and social barriers of being an Artist by providing affordable studio spaces, workshops, and inclusive public events.

  • “TCG” stands for Trading Card Game. Popular examples include Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Disney Lorcana, One Piece, Flesh and Blood, and Star Wars: Unlimited.

  • Yes!

    Petrichor is an Art collective priding itself on the diverse community we’ve cultivated, so original Art crafted by local creatives will be an important part of the event. You can expect to find prints, stickers, paintings, handmade accessories, fan-inspired work, original characters, and other creations from local Artists.

  • Not at all. This event is for everyone!

    Experienced collectors, casual fans, families, Artists, gamers, and people who are completely new to trading cards are all welcome.

  • Only approved vendors may actively set up merchandise or sell products during the show. Guests may bring cards to offer to participating vendors, but may not operate an unofficial sales table or conduct ongoing sales inside the event without approval.

  • We hope to include opportunities for casual play, demonstrations, and possibly organized tournaments. Specific games, registration information, schedules, and entry requirements will be announced before each show.

  • Artists showcasing any original work may apply for an Artist space.

    We especially welcome work connected to gaming, fantasy, anime, characters, storytelling, collecting, and imaginative worlds, but Artists do not necessarily need to create TCG-themed work.

  • Accessibility information, including entrances, restrooms, seating, and parking, will be provided with the event details. Please contact Petrichor Collective prior to the event with any specific accessibility questions.

  • A safe environment is extremely important to us. We cherish moral qualities at all our events like kindness, honesty, and respectfulness. Any illicit behavior such as harassment, intimidation, or discrimination is unacceptable. Knowingly selling counterfeit items, pressuring someone into a trade, or taking advantage of younger/inexperienced collectors will not be tolerated.

  • You will get

    A. Access to the show a full hour before the event kicks off.
    B. A free pack of unopened, collectible cards.
    C. Rare artwork sourced locally through Petrichor Collective members.
    D. A bundle of stickers.
