How do I add myself or my organization to the Artistic Network?

Adding your profile to the Artistic Network is simple. Fill out a form and within minutes you can add your creative work.

Go to the Member Information page. (When logged in, it will allow you to edit your information).

You will see a form explained below.



All items marked in maroon are required fields. You cannot leave these fields blank.

The Company field is an optional field. You should only fill in this field if you legitimately represent the company, organization, group or band that you wish to use. If you select your Art Type as "Band", enter your band's name into the Company field.

Various fields in the form help people find you on the site. Fields that are used for keyword searching are: First Name; Last Name, Description; Company; Descriptive Keywords; Occupation; Hobbies; Biography.

Your birth date is required so that we can help ensure parental controls as features develop. For organizations, enter the date your organization was established. Learn more about sign-up requirements.

Artist Types

You should select what kind of artist you are. This will help people find you in the Artist Directory.

Please note that if you select a type other than "Individual" or "Teacher", you must enter your organization name into the "Company" field. For example, if you are making an account for your band, enter your band name into the Company field.

You can enter only one organizational type (individual, band, printer, etc) but you can select as many types as you want (artist, musician, etc) that are shaded in gray. Only select the options that you or your organization actually deal with. (Review the Terms & Conditions relating to your art types.)



You must check the click box that signifies you have read and agree to our Terms & Conditions to post your profile. This checkbox is pre-selected when editing an existing profile, since you had to check it when you first signed up.

Account Options

Your account options are miscellaneous features to your account you can control.

Guestbook Settings Setting the guestbook to "Public" means anyone can see/sign your guestbook. Setting it to "Friends" means only those who you've accepted as friends can see/sign it. Setting it to "Private" means only you or administrators can see/sign it when logged in.

Display Address & Phone When checked, your address and phone number will appear on your profile page. When unchecked, your contact information is not available to the public or site members (other than site administrators). We recommend that individuals do not check this option. This option is best suited for organizations. This option is required for some organizations, such as gallery, printer, arts resource, etc.

Allow Friend Requests When checked, other members can petition to become a linked friend/associate. When unchecked, no one can request friendship/association links. This feature is intended to help members network with fellow artists and organizations.

Whenever you log in to the site, you can access this form and edit your information by clicking on "Modify Account" in the links panel at the right side of every page on the site.

When you edit your profile, you can add images or MP3s to it with the forms below the submit button that look like the following example:
