What are Artist Trading Cards?

Artist Trading Cards, also known as ATCs, are miniature artworks created on a standard-size card or any other appropriate material. The dimensions of an ATC usually measure 2.5" x 3.5" (6.4cm x 8.9cm), making them easily portable and collectible. These tiny masterpieces can be crafted using various mediums such as watercolors, acrylics, collage, and even digital methods.

The unique aspect of ATCs lies in their swapping and collecting culture. Artists from all walks of life come together to exchange these cards, either by participating in organized swaps or casually trading with fellow enthusiasts. This vibrant community promotes artistic growth, networking, and the celebration of individual artistic styles.
