Everything the platform offers.

Every artist on Open Atelier receives a dedicated public page at / artists/your-name. It includes a landing page, about section, gallery, CV, research page, and a contact form — all editable from your private Studio dashboard.

The Studio is entirely separate from your public page. Visitors never see your login, editing controls, or analytics.

Set your display name, tagline, and disciplines. Upload a profile portrait that appears on the artists directory and your landing page. Write a short biography to introduce yourself.

Create named galleries to organise your work. Each gallery becomes a tab on your public gallery page. Reorder galleries freely and choose how the “All works” tab appears.

Upload and manage individual pieces with full catalogue metadata:

• Image — high-resolution photograph, stored in the cloud.
• Title, year, materials, dimensions — standard catalogue fields.
• Category — for visitor filtering within a gallery.
• Caption & description — short and long-form text.
• Research statement — in-depth contextual writing.
• Display size — small, medium, large, or full-width.
• Gallery assignment — place the work into a named gallery.
• Sort order — control the sequence within each gallery.

Each artwork supports three pricing modes:

• Fixed price — set a price and currency; visitors see it and can submit a purchase enquiry.
• Price on request — no price displayed; visitors can still enquire.
• Sold — marked as sold; the enquiry form is hidden.

Customise the look and feel of your public pages:

• Colour palette — curated palettes grouped by colour theory.
• Typography — pick a font pairing and size scale.
• Background image — upload a subtle texture with wash or vignette effect.
• Gallery layout — slideshow, grid, or stacked.

Write a longer artist statement that appears on your public About page — the space for your philosophy, method, and the story behind your practice.

Enter your CV — education, exhibitions, awards, publications, and professional milestones — rendered on your public CV page in an editorial, catalogue-style layout.

If your practice is research-led, add research abstracts — dissertations, published papers, or practice-based research statements.

Configure your contact details. Visitors send private messages through a form; no email addresses are exposed.

New artist pages start unpublished. A platform admin reviews and publishes them. Individual artworks also have a published toggle.

Explore curated galleries from every artist on the platform. Switch between named collections using tabs, or view all works at once.

Show your appreciation with a single click — no account required. One like per visitor per artwork.

Leave your name and a short message on any artwork. Comments appear in the artwork detail view.

Send private messages through an artist’s contact form. No email addresses are shared.

Submit an enquiry on any artwork that isn’t marked as sold.
