Where is the actual template?

MyArtPDF generates the layout. This page explains the shared structure. Downloadable complete examples live on the discipline pages (painter, photographer, sculptor, illustrator, digital artist, and art school / MFA). Each example is a disclosed fictional artist project.

Are all sections required?

No. Cover, table of contents, artist statement, project statement, biography, CV, artworks, and contact can all be included. Which ones you use depends on the submission. Follow the call you are answering.

Is MyArtPDF free to use?

One Portfolio with up to 15 artworks, CV, biography, statements, PDF preview and export. No account required. Price Catalogue is coming soon.

Artist Portfolio PDF Template (Gallery-Ready)

A clean, gallery-ready portfolio PDF template with artworks, CV, bio and statement. See the shared structure, then open a discipline sample to download a complete example.

The downloadable examples on the discipline pages are fictional artist portfolios created with MyArtPDF to demonstrate a realistic structure and PDF export.

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.
Project statement

Optional. Used when the portfolio needs context for a specific body of work, series, research question, or application.
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.

Why your portfolio PDF format matters

Many galleries, residencies and art schools ask for a single PDF that a reviewer can open once: pictures in a stable order, captions that match, and supporting writing that does not fight the images.

MyArtPDF gives you that structure on Mac so you are not rebuilding the same document in a general design tool for every deadline.

Shared structure, discipline samples

The app can include:

Cover
Table of contents (shown in every public sample)
Artist statement
Project statement (optional; used when the PDF is about one body of work or research question)
Biography
CV
Artwork pages
Contact

This page does not treat one fictional artist as every artist. Open a discipline page for a complete downloadable example:
