ATC Open Call

This call is for artist trading cards of any theme. The only regulation is the size - 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" (64mm x 89mm). The art side of the card can be any subject and any medium. The back of the card is optional, but I would like to see the title along with your name and date. I am asking that only 1 or 2 cards be sent at a time. I will send the same amount of my creations back to the person.

There is currently no deadline for this call. After you receive ATCs back from me, feel free to create another ATC or two and send them to me. I would like to swap a lot of ATCs, but I don't want to get overloaded, so that is why I am setting the limit at two.

All ATCs received and sent out for this call will be posted at http://atcroom.blogspot.com.

In order for me to send ATCs back to you, please include your mailing address on a seperate piece of paper inside the envelope the first time you send the ATCs.

    The M.A.R.S. Project

The M.A.R.S. Project (Mobile Arts Road Show) launches this July. Primary exhibition sites will be in south-west Washington and Oregon along the Interstate 5 corridor and down the Washington and Oregon coast (including several college campuses, beaches, and freeway rest areas.) This is an open call and entries will be added to the exhibit as they arrive (although the exhibition might have to go “indoors” when the winter weather sets in, usually around September in this part of the U.S.)

There are no theme restrictions. If you want to create a “M.A.R.S. Project” logo or space / Martian / rocket ship / alien collage or cartoon that would be great, but it is not a requirement for inclusion in the exhibition. Because this is an outdoor project I want to be able to fit all of the exhibits into sheet protectors, so I’m asking for all entries to be 8 ½ by 11 inches or smaller, but other than this restriction any format will be accepted: Collages, cartoons, ATCs, postcards, envelope art, photography, anything, even 3D, as long as it fits in a sheet protector. Sequential works broken up over several 8 ½ by 11 “panels” (diptych, triptych, or longer) are also encouraged.

All entries become the property of the exhibit and will be scanned, archived, and posted on the M.A.R.S. Project site (along with any information about when and where the road show will be stopping next.) If you want production credits, email or snail mail addresses, or any other information posted (or not posted) along with your artwork (either at the live exhibit or on the site) don’t forget to include this with your entry.

Show your appreciation to these big corporations that love us so much. Take an add (from magazines, newspapers, etc.) and manipulate it with drawing, painting, collage,...

The received works will be assembled in zine (xeroxed) and electronic forms and fed into the Mail Art network. All participants get a copy.

Deadline: Ongoing (started february 2004)

Size of the works is arbitrary. You can use color. It would be good that the work looks well in photocopy. That's difficult to predict but maybe you can check it by photocopying it. Still, I also plan to scan the works and make some kind of e-zine in acrobat pdf format. Since the electronic and paper docs would be different you may send what you like and I will put it were it fits best.
