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.

Updated 12 November 2026

1. Open Artist profile

   In the sidebar, open **Artist profile**. The **Profile** tab is what your site's About page shows.

   

2. Add a portrait

   Click the portrait box, or drop a photo on it. A clear, recent photo works best.

   

3. Write your biography

   Write a short biography in the editor: what you make, how, and where. It appears on your About page and can go on your CVs.

   

4. Where you are based

   Fill in where you are based, your birth year and your birth place. Grant and residency applications often ask for them, and the CV export prints them for you.

   

5. Save

   Click **Save changes**. **Preview** shows your About page as visitors see it.
