What is an artist portfolio template?

An artist portfolio template is a practical page structure that helps you organise artworks and supporting documents into a readable PDF. Instead of designing every page manually, you follow a clear sequence that institutions already expect.

What documents should an artist portfolio PDF include?

Most portfolio PDFs combine artworks with a short set of supporting documents: a CV, a biography and sometimes an artist statement. The exact mix depends on whether you are applying to galleries, residencies or schools, but readability and sequence matter in every case.
