ATC / ACEO

Artist Trading Cards (ATC) are miniature works of art traded — never sold — between artists. Originally proposed by M. Vänçi Stirnemann in Zürich, 1996. Their only strict rule is to use a 2.5" x 3.5" canvas, and to just trade them

ACEO (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) follow the same format but can be sold.
