ACEOS small art gems to make and collect

Imagine being able to have a stunning art collection from artists all over the world in an album that sits on your living room coffee table.

Your friends drop in for drinks, and everyone looks at the cards you have carefully collected. You can tell them stories about the art itself, how you found it, how you met the artist, and what inspired the artist to create this piece. Your friends can choose which pieces are their favorites and why. What a fun and entertaining way to spend the evening.

You do not need thousands of dollars and enough wall space to make an art gallery in your home in order to enjoy a variety of quality art. ACEOs are the answer. Each art card is only the size of a baseball trading card (3.5 inches by 2.5 inches) and can fit into an album, a card binder, a frame or on an easel.

You can change your art collection by putting up different cards by the season or by the subject. You can take your favorite art to work and display it on an easel in your office to enjoy everyday. How fun is that?

ACEOs are affordable individual art that are signed on the back by the artist. It is a small masterpiece for you to collect. Some people collect themes, like trees, or animals. Some people collect certain media, like oils or watercolors. Some people collect whatever piece of art that speaks to them. These cards generally run in price from $5 to $50, so they are a way to sample an artist's work. You may love a piece so much that you will want to commission a larger work for your home.

It is so wonderful to come home from work and find a stunning piece of art in an envelope among all of your junk mail. My heart always beats a little faster as I get a cup of tea and sit to carefully open that note from the artist and inspect my new art acquisition. I hold it in my hand and look at all the work and imagination that went into that card from an artist that I respect, and perhaps have gotten to know a little. It makes my life more interesting and creative.

I invite you to explore the shops in this market. Look at the variety of the art. See what images or media are your favorites. Choose a piece for your home or as a gift for someone very special. Come and enjoy yourself in our magical art world.
