How to Join IllustratedATCs.com

We are a juried trading group for artists who have been creating art for sometime and want to trade for ATCs and mail art that exhibits a more advanced stage of artistic development and skill. If you're still learning to draw or collage, then this probably isn't the place for you.

We have two divisions for trading mail art. You can apply to both divisions or just one. If you apply to both divisions, please ensure you have the correct mediums in your portfolio.
  • Pencil & Paint: For hand-drawn and painted mail art
  • Mixed Mail Art: For collage, mixed media, altered and fibre mail art

This is what we are seeking in the artwork of potential members:
  • Consistency in artwork
  • Skill in chosen medium
  • Originality
  • Good use of color
  • Craftsmanship
