ATC Details

ATC using photo, clippings from a magazine, pieces of sheet music, and water color paint sticks.

• the dimensions of the ATC must be 2.5"x3.5"


• an ATC mustn't be sold, only exchanged, as the whole essence of these tiny works of art is about artists meeting (by correspondence or online if need be) and exchanging their works, thus meeting many artists and getting exposed to many personal styles


• on the back of each ATC the artist writes part or all of the following information: name, contact information, title of the ATC and number (1/8, 2/8...) if it's part of an edition.


• they should be sturdy enough to survive mailing, and of reasonable thickness - some artist use recycle cereal boxes, chipboard, heavy card stock


• Almost all Fine Arts media can be put to the miniature canvas of an ATC, either alone or in combination with others: fabric, pencil sketch, charcoal, cartoon, watercolor, markers, color pencils, pastel, crayons, inks, dotting, collage, photography, calligraphy...
