Artist trading cards, also known as ATCs, are 2 ½ x 3 ½ inch (64 x 89 mm) miniature works of art which artists trade with one another, similar to the way people trade sports cards. They may be constructed from any media: pencil, watercolor, acrylic, oil, collage, scratch board, textile arts and/or mixed media – and are only limited by a few “rules”. These are as follows: 1. The dimensions of the card must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches (64 x 89 mm) 2. The cards must be traded - never bought or sold 3. The artist of the card should put their name and contact information on the back so other artists can get to know them and their work. Artist Trading Cards are original artworks and may be made as limited editions, or as part of a series. Conceptually ATCs are about exchanging artworks without the interface of the art world and without money being involved. They can be an extension of your art practice that allows you access to a completely different, less traditional audience and as such, are a real world example of the procedures of the “conceptual framework”.
