empower your portfolio

Your ArtistDB portfolio can help you achieve your art career goals. Here's how you can take advantage of the unique features that our web sites offer:

Keep your best, most current work on display. You can add, remove, and change images or information anytime without specialized knowledge. When your portfolio is current, viewers are confident and more likely to make purchasing decisions.

Allow your viewers to quickly find artwork in which they're interested. ArtistDB portfolio can be browsed by subject, medium, editions, originals, availability, location, and price.

Keep your collectors and galleries informed of your calendar. Your portfolio can contain your current exhibition schedule, including dates and times, artwork in the exhibition, invitations, locations, even a link for directions. The current event always displays automatically on your home page to notify viewers.

Keep your collectors informed of new works. Your portfolio always includes a link to the newest work.

Use it as a marketing tool to attract galleries. Several galleries can view it simultaneously, any time of the day or night, anywhere in the world. And it always looks fresh.

Build Gallery relationships by steering interested collectors to the gallery to purchase artwork. This type of professionalism works wonders to calm fears that gallery staff may have of losing the investment they've put into your career development. Also, it increases their enthusiasm about your work when collectors come to them with the intent to purchase a specific piece.

Increase your profitability by marketing directly You can also choose to sell directly from your site using the built-in PayPal shopping cart integration. This is a great option if you're not currently represented by galleries, or if you have a segment of work (e.g., prints) that a gallery doesn't wish to handle.
