Every two months CAA holds an Artist Trading Card (ATC) exchange by mail. CAA members are invited to participate in this fun program.

​

What's are ATCs?

ATCs are 2½" by 3½" cards that are made to be traded. Almost any media can be used to create ATCs: watercolor, oils, acrylics, crayons, colored pencils, pen & ink; collage, low-profile assemblage, and other mixed media. Anything goes as long as the cards are thin enough to fit inside a standard plastic trading-card sleeve. Cards can be a series of closely identical artworks or each card can be unique. The backs of ATCs often have information about the artist.

How to participate

Make 4 ATCs using the theme listed below and mail them by the due date. Include a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE). Make sure your postage covers the cards you're sending (most will cost the same as a standard first-class letter). The week after the due date you will receive 4 ATCs in the mail, made by CAA members.​​
