What are ACEO cards? ACEO stands for “Art Cards, Editions, and Originals”. They are also known as ATCs, or “Artist Trading Cards”. They can be original artwork, numbered edition prints and photographs. ACEO cards are a fun way to collect art from artists all over the world at a fraction of the cost for larger pieces. Each card is 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ (64x89mm), the size of a baseball card, which makes it easy to collect in display cases or store in albums. Art cards can be on any weight of paper, thin card board or matte, texture, color or subject matter.
If you have any questions or desire more information on ACEO art card rules or submission, please contact Sherri Russell by email at sherriannrussell@gmail.com, and for 10 x 10 or smaller artwork submission information, contact Dawn Campbell at (231) 652-1454.
