Art Projects Database!
Welcome to Artella's newest addition to the resources in our Reading Room for Artists & Writers!
The Art Project Database is
a comprehensive listing of current swaps, trades, round-robins, and other collaborative art projects, hosted by a variety of organizing individuals and groups.
Anyone can access this database to list projects, join projects, or both! We hope this database will provide a simple, efficient way for swap organizers to announce their projects
and for artists to find a variety of projects to join!
To list a project,
click here to fill out our listing form.
To sign up for a project, simply browse through our listings and follow the sign-up instructions.
IMPORTANT: Please note that Artella is responsible for Artella-related listings only. We provide this database as a service, and are unable to answer questions or be responsible for any aspect of any particular non-Artella project.
For any questions related to an individual project, please contact the project organizer at the email address included in the project's listing.

Name of project: Uplifting Connections Outreach
Project organizer/contact: Linda Sanchez
Type of project: ATC Donation Project
Description of project (theme, media, restrictions, etc.): Project for sending cards/ATC's/Tags/small Artwork to people in a local psychiatric hospital. As I have experienced in the past, a lot of times people may not have outside supports for whatever reasons, and though they long for connections, may have a difficult time reaching out due to mental fog.
There are rules about what is allowed: no glass, mirrors, Pins, sharp objects, long string...basically think about soft edges and child proof.
Deadline to sign up: This is an ongoing project; there are no deadlines
Deadline for entries: None
Sign-up instructions (what does someone need to do to join the project?): Place the artwork in a unsealed inner envelope, and address the outer envelope to me. I will collect and send in bulk envelope to the hospital for distribution monthly.
It is up to you if you want to remain anonymous or not. If you would like to reach out, I would suggest that you give your first name and an e-mail address.
Other comments: Send your ATCs to:
Linda Sanchez
103 Seward Place #4
Schenectady, NY 12305
Send me an e-mail at JSANBL@aol.com so that I can be looking for your ATC.
