The art and literary scenes are exploding again in Los Angeles! Yet, there has been a gap–a lack of forum and organization among the artistic community. FORTH recognized this gap and came to life, becoming the new voice and exhibition of LA-based art and writing. Publishing poetry, fiction, journalism, and all genres of art, FORTH displays art and literature from both prominent, established writers and artists as well as from rising local talents; FORTH expands community by organizing and sponsoring relevant events throughout the city; FORTH uncovers important stories–including lit- and art-based and socio-cultural news–through its revival of subjective, experiential journalism.

FORTH Magazine has become Los Angeles’ ONLY literary and art publication. We’re proud to be a part of this community, and plan on a continuing expansion, which our wonderful sponsors and readers make possible.

• Established & Up-and-Coming Writers
• The Hottest Local & National Artists

What are artist trading cards?
Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade and collect art at organized “swap” events, either in person or online. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5″ x 3.5″.

How did the movement start?
In 1997, M. Vanci Stirnemann, a Swiss artist, created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. The movement took off, and today, there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world. There are also many online swaps.

How do I create ATCs?
Most swaps are open to any media, materials or techniques as long as the card fits into a standard trading card sleeve. ATCs are traded, not sold. However, there are some artists who choose to sell cards. Cards that are sold are called Art Card Editions and Originals (ACEO).

How do I trade cards?
You can locate an in-person swap in your area, find an online swap, or organize your own swap. There are a number of Web sites that others have created to help artists get started. They can be found by doing online searches using key words such as “artist trading cards.”
