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. If you still need the supporting text, pair this with the artist CV guide.
