What is an ACEO?
The acronym ACEO stands for Art Card Editions and Originals. Basically, an ACEO is a 2.5″ x 3.5″ work of art (an original or a print edition). It is always this size. No exceptions. Anyone listing a work that is any other size who uses the ACEO acronym is misrepresenting their work. Historically, Artist Trading Cards (Art Trading Cards) were 2.5″ x 3.5″ original works of art traded only amongst artists. An ACEO is exactly the same thing, but is intended for sale rather than trade. This acronym was created to respect those artists who are passionate about ATC’s being trade only works of art. ACEOs provide a venue for artists to sell their miniature work and for the public at large (including non-artists) to collect these wee masterpieces.
