What are ATCs (Artist Trading Cards)? ATCs are tiny works of art that are made to trade. There are no restrictions of medium – materials might involve collage, drawing, painting, stained glass, metal, wax, computer generated imaging, photography – the possibilities are endless! ATCs are intended to be a non-commercial, non-hierarchical avenue for artistic exchange. Cards are traded one for one. Everyone is invited to participate. ATCs can be originals, in series, edition or multiple. They should be “signed” on the back. Contact info may also appear on the back if desired.
