An Art Card or Artists Trading Card is an original or print piece of fine art that measures 3.5 x 2.5 which is the size of a standard baseball card. Art cards have been around for a century or so longer than baseball cards and were designed for trading between artists. These little gems are hugely collectible. They are also known as ACEO although ACEO's are designed to be sold not traded. This site is designed to tell you all you need to know about art cards and ACEO. Please post a comment.

Tom Rios- Art Cards Published in a New Gallery
Tom Rios has been making art on and off for about 35 years. He started in the early 70s in San Francisco. Attended the Academy of Art College for several years which taught him the basics in art and gave him the opportunity to explore different styles and techniques.
Since that time, Tom has experimented in many types of arts from woodcarving to painting to paper-cuts and recently into making art cards.
Tom liked the idea of the art card because of the size limitations. The challenge of creating small works of art within the boundaries of the cards size. How much information can you put in and still make it work? Tom said "I think that’s the fun of creating these little gems." Tom became an "artcardist" in June 2009.
