Knowledge base

Step by step guides for building and running your portfolio on Artery.

Add a work to your portfolio Add one artwork to your Artery portfolio: upload a photo, give it a title and year, add the medium and size, put it in a series and publish it on your site.
Add your own fields to your works Every practice records different details: where a painting is signed, a print's edition, a video's duration. Add your own field to a work type in Artery, and every work of that type gets it, in the editor and on your site.
Connect a Cloudflare domain to your Artery portfolio Point a domain whose DNS is on Cloudflare to your Artery site. Which DNS records to add, why they must be set to DNS only (grey cloud), and how to check that your site is live.
Connect a GoDaddy domain to your Artery portfolio Point a domain you bought at GoDaddy to your Artery site. Which DNS records to add, where to add them in GoDaddy, and how to check that your site is live.
Connect a Namecheap domain to your Artery portfolio Point a domain you bought at Namecheap to your Artery site. Which DNS records to add in Advanced DNS, which default records to remove, and how to check that your site is live.
Create a series Series are the sections of your Artery site: a body of work, a period, a theme. Create one from Works, choose where it sits and whether it shows in your site's menu.
Export your CV as a PDF Make a CV for a gallery, a grant or a residency from your Artery profile: pick a template, choose what goes in, add works, preview and download the PDF.
Group works into a series Put several works into a series at once: select them in Works, choose Add to series, pick the series. Or drag a single work onto a series. A work can be in more than one series.
Reorder your site's menu Choose what your site's menu shows and in what order: drag items up or down, and switch off the ones you want to hide. The preview updates as you go.
Set up your artist profile Your artist profile is your site's About page and the top of every CV you export: portrait, biography, where you are based, birth year and place.
