This is a juried group for **experienced** ATC artists who have a passion for creating high-quality art using vintage photo images.

A short questionnaire is sent to each prospective member along with a request for images of your current vintage artwork. Once it is completed and returned, our Membership Panel will review your submission. If the prospective member does not return the questionnaire, membership is not approved.

It should be understood that group members will only submit their best in all swaps that they join.Art pieces submitted by group members should be assembled well and created using FIRM matt or illustration board. Each piece of art should be protected (ATCs should be sent in ATC sleeves rather than loose). Digital images should be crisp, not blurry (300 dpi minimum) and printed on high quality, heavy paper (cardstock, photopaper, etc...NOT typing paper.). Artwork should contain layering and embellishments. Edges should be finished (inking and German scrap borders are just two examples of finished edges). Artwork for swaps should contain digital vintage photo images unless the swap specifically states that another form (i.e., stamped or drawn image) is acceptable.
