ACEO guide
What is an ACEO?
An ACEO is a small artwork made in the artist trading card size: 2.5 by 3.5 inches.
ACEO size
ACEO stands for Art Cards, Editions and Originals. The format uses the same size as a trading card: 2.5 by 3.5 inches.
Artists use the format for painting, drawing, collage, mixed media, and other small original works.
Originals and editions
Many ACEOs are one-of-a-kind originals. Some are small handmade editions if the artist clearly explains the edition size and process.
On Artminta, listings should make it clear whether the work is an original ACEO or a limited handmade edition.
Why collectors like ACEOs
ACEOs are easy to store, display, trade, and collect. They are small, but still made as real artwork.
They are a good way to buy original miniature art directly from independent artists.
