\nA rtist Trading Cards are pocket-sized works of art (2.5 x 3.5 inches) that can be traded with other artists. The idea was first developed by Swiss Ar tist m. vä\;nç\;i stirneman in 1997\, growing out of the Mail Ar t Movement where artists contacted other artists directly to swap artworks \, ideas\, techniques\, and inspiration. Calgary artist Don Mabie brought the concept to Canada\, and with stirneman\, co-curated the &ldquo\;1st In ternational Biennial of Artist Trading Cards&ldquo\; in 2000. Artist Tradi ng Card groups and sessions have since spread all over the world.

The Basic Rules:
1. Size: Artist Trading Cards shoul
d be no larger than 2.5 by 3.5 inches (64 by 89 mm). They should fit into
the plastic sheets designed for sport trading cards.
2. ATCs are for
trade only\, never bought nor sold.
Creative guidelines:
1. Medium: Cards can be made out of any material imaginable2. Quantity: Cards can be single originals\, editions (sets of identic
al cards)\, or series (more than one on a theme)
3. Identity: sign th
e back. It is nice to include date\, edition number\, your location and ti
tle of the work.
4. Integrity: Make and trade your own.
