Why your portfolio PDF format matters

Many galleries, residencies and art schools ask for a single PDF portfolio that combines your artworks, a short biography, CV and sometimes an artist statement. The problem: designing that PDF in InDesign or Canva can quickly become a second full-time job.

MyArtPDF gives you a ready-made structure that follows the way institutions actually review portfolios:

  • Cover page with your name and basic details
  • Optional artist statement and biography pages
  • Compact, well-structured artist CV
  • Artworks shown one per page, full width, with clean captions

What’s inside this artist portfolio template?

This template is built into MyArtPDF and exported as a PDF in A4 or US Letter. It includes:

  • Cover page: your name, discipline, location, contact
  • Optional artist statement: clearly separated from the images
  • Optional biography: short, readable and not overloaded
  • Artist CV: exhibitions, education, collections, press
  • Artworks section: one artwork per page, full width, caption aligned to the left

Everything is laid out with a light background, generous margins and typography that feels familiar to curators and juries.
