Studio Info

• Whether your space is at home, in a studio building, or part of a group

Artist Info

• A short 40-word artist statement (yes, exactly 40 words!)
• Two (2) images of your work
• One (1) headshot or studio portrait

Your images will be used in print and online, often in square or cropped formats, so it’s important to keep them clean and clear. Here’s how to make them shine:

Artwork Photos

• Choose finished, recent work that best represents your practice
• Photograph your work in natural light with minimal background distractions
• Crop or shoot square-ish compositions so nothing important gets cut off
• Submit high-resolution files (at least 1200px on the shortest side)
• File size should not exceed 3MB each
• File types accepted: JPG or PNG

Headshot / Studio Portrait

• We make graphic design decisions to help your submission shine across all our promotional formats. You can help by preparing images that are best suited for the space
• This can be a photo of you, or you in your studio space
• Aim for clear lighting, minimal clutter, and a friendly or thoughtful expression
• Place yourself in the center of the photo, vertically and horizontally
• No sunglasses, filters, or heavily stylised edits
• Again, square or nearly square is best

Example 1: Close-cropped headshot

Example 2: Half-body studio shot

This short blurb is your calling card—it appears in the guide and on your studio profile. Make it count.

Try this structure:

• What kind of work you make (medium, form, or materials)
• A key theme or approach you explore
• Something personal or distinctive

Example:

I create abstract landscapes in oil and cold wax, drawing inspiration from desert geology and memory. My process involves layering, scraping, and building texture to reflect time, erosion, and the natural rhythm of the environment.
