ART TRAdING CARDS
Art Trading Cards (ATCs) are small, handcrafted works of art designed to be collected and traded among artists. Measuring 2.5 x 3.5 inches—the same size as standard trading cards—these mini masterpieces can be created using any medium, from drawing and painting to collage and mixed media. Each card is unique, often reflecting the artist’s personal style or a chosen theme. ATCs are a fun and accessible way for artists to share their creativity, connect with others, and build a collection of inspiring art from around the world.
