Paint night vibes but make it TCG. Draw your own custom artwork and turn it into a one-of-one trading card! You need a Toronto Game Expo pass to enter, sold separately.
Pokémon Proxy Party
Proxy Party is a two-hour creative workshop designed to bring people together to create. Your finished artwork gets turned into a custom trading card. There’s no required theme and it doesn’t have to be Pokémon; you can create whatever inspires you.
Once your artwork is finished, customize your card with a name, description and other details, and our team will print and seal it inside a protective plastic slab for you to take home. No art experience is required, making it a great creative activity for friends, families, couples, or anyone who wants to make something, uniquely their own.

Message from the Host
Hi! I’m Shana, and I’ve loved Pokémon since I was 5 years old. Pokémon Proxy Party is a passion project created by a small group of friends who personally funded the workshop costs, including the artwork, slabs, printing, lamination, and the custom tech stack built from scratch to support the experience.
We hope you enjoy Pokémon Proxy Party, and thank you for supporting our project.
