Managing Your Profile in the Commercial Ready Program

As an artist participating in the Commercial Ready Program, you should maintain an up-to-date and well-managed profile. This includes both original artwork and prints. Here’s how you can effectively update and manage your profile:

1. Routinely Update Your Artist Profile: Keep your artist statement, bio, and resume current on Artrepreneur. These updates give curators and buyers a clear view of your artistic evolution and accomplishments. A fresh and engaging artist profile helps make your work more appealing and accessible, enhancing your chances of being noticed for commercial opportunities.
2. Update Artwork Details: Regularly check and update the details of each artwork, such as title, medium, dimensions, and descriptions. This is especially important for any new artwork that you may want to submit to the program.  Clear and accurate details are essential for curators and clients to understand your work.
3. Adjust Availability and Pricing:
   • Originals: For original artworks, update the availability status if a piece is sold or no longer for sale. To adjust pricing, edit the price directly on the artwork’s page on your Artrepreneur account.
   • Prints: For prints, pricing adjustments can be made through the Print Store settings. Navigate to the POD store section on your artwork page and update the pricing as needed.
4. Add New Works Regularly:  This not only showcases your evolving artistic journey but also signals to our curators your dedication and active engagement in your craft. A regularly updated portfolio captures the attention of our curatorial team and highlights your commitment as an artist, making your work a focal point for potential selection.
5. Respond Promptly to Inquiries: Ensure timely responses to any communication from the ATP.art team or potential buyers. Non-responsive artists are likely to miss opportunities from our curators to sell their work or be the focus of promotional activities.
6. Manage Artwork Visibility:
   • Originals Store: For original artworks, you can manage which pieces are visible and featured.
   • Print Store: For prints, select which artworks are available in the POD store and adjust their visibility settings as needed.

By actively updating and managing your profile, you enhance your appeal to commercial clients. This proactive approach is key to maximizing your opportunities and success in the Commercial Ready Program.
