What's inside this portfolio
This sample uses the sections below. You can include a cover, table of contents, artist statement, project statement, biography, CV, artworks, and a contact page. None of these is universally required except where a call specifies it.
-
Cover
A quiet opening page with the artist name, project title, and year. No logo wall, no decorative layout.
-
Table of contents
Generated automatically by MyArtPDF with page numbers calculated from the final document. Especially useful when the PDF includes statements, a CV, and several artwork pages.
-
Artist statement
Describes the artist's overall practice. Optional in some submissions; this sample includes one.
-
Biography
A short professional background. Optional depending on the call; this sample includes one.
-
Artist CV
Structured artist CV content using the categories MyArtPDF supports. Optional if the call asks for a separate CV file.
-
Artwork pages
The selected work in project order, with consistent captions.
-
Contact page
Generated closing page using the artist's project contact details.
Views that explain form
A sculpture often needs more than one photograph. Front, three-quarter, and a view that shows how the piece meets the floor or wall are usually more useful than five similar angles.
MyArtPDF still lays out artwork pages the same way as for painters. You choose how many images a work needs; the app does not invent a sculpture renderer.
Scale, materials, and space
Dimensions belong in every caption. If a piece is site-specific or changes in a room, an installation view is part of the work, not an extra. If the piece is autonomous, a clean object photograph may be enough.
The sample project Selected Sculpture and Installation is built to show that mix: object, material, and context, without a project statement, because the group is a selection rather than one series.
Captions without a materials novel
List materials the way a registrar would read them. Title, year, materials, dimensions. A short note is useful when the photograph cannot show weight, sound, or movement. A paragraph on every page is not.
Submission checklist
- Check the submission's requested file format.
- Check the maximum file size.
- Check the requested number of works.
- Use consistent artwork titles, dates, media, and dimensions.
- Use a clear filename.
- Confirm contact details.
- Open the final PDF and inspect every page before submitting.
- Include enough views to communicate scale and form.
- Include installation context when it materially changes how the work is understood.
- Put materials and dimensions in every caption.
- Always follow the submission requirements of the gallery, residency, school, grant, or open call you are applying to.
