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.
The expo is announcing a call to all children (5 and up), novice and professional artists "from anywhere in the world" to create and enter ACEO art cards (2 1/2" x 3 1/2" or 64mm x 89mm in size) in the form of; paintings, photographs, prints of original art and mixed media artworks. All art will be juried and 1st place prizes will be awarded to young artists in school grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12. The expo’s goal is to display 1,000 ACEO art cards.
The expo is also announcing a call to all art students, novice and professional artists restricted to "the state of Michigan" to create and enter 10 x 10 (or smaller) artworks. Visit River Valley - A Celebration Of Small Artworks for more information.
