Artist Resources
Welcome to the Resources section of the Artist Portal. This is a great place to find details and tutorials that will be helpful in navigating the upcoming shows.
Artist Onboarding:
Artist onboarding is simply creating your artist profile to be linked to the Meet the Artist page. This is where art lovers can find details about you, samples of your work and links to your social media and website accounts. It’s a wonderful way for them to explore artists in upcoming shows in advance.

Here are a few tips on how to make the process easier:
- Write your bio and answers to selected questions in a Word document first so you can easily check grammar and spelling. Write in first person as if you are speaking directly to someone who loves art.
- Your profile picture will be used multiple times in website and marketing content. Please make sure it’s a photo that you are proud to present to the world.
