Free Artist Tool
Artist CV Generator. Gallery-ready PDF in minutes.
Build a clean, professional artist CV and export it as a PDF — structured for galleries, residencies, grants and art school applications. No account. No cloud. Runs entirely in your browser.
What the CV Generator does
You fill in your CV sections — education, exhibitions, residencies, awards, collections, press. The generator formats everything following the standard structure that galleries and institutions expect.
When you are done, you export a clean PDF — ready to attach to a gallery submission, a residency application, or an art school dossier.
No layout decisions. No formatting work. Just a clear, institution-ready document.
What makes it different
Most CV tools are built for job applications. This one is built for artists.
The sections, the order, the formatting logic — everything follows what galleries, residency committees and admissions teams actually want to read.
No "skills" section. No "objective" statement. No generic office layout. Just the document your practice needs.
CV sections included
Education
Year, degree, institution, city. Reverse chronological. Formatted exactly as gallery CVs expect.
Exhibitions
Solo and group exhibitions in separate sections. Year, title, venue, city — consistent across every entry.
Residencies
Program name, location, year. A section that carries real weight in residency and grant applications.
Grants & Awards
Award name, granting organization, year. Formatted to be scannable at a glance.
Collections
Institution or collector name, city. Included only when relevant — never padded.
Press & Bibliography
Reviews, articles, catalogue essays. Formatted for clarity — publication, year, title.
Export to PDF — or continue in the app
When your CV is ready, export it as a PDF — clean, gallery-ready, ready to attach to any application.
Or export as JSON and import it directly into the MyArtPDF macOS app. Your CV, exhibitions, residencies and awards carry over automatically — no re-entry.
The app adds everything the web tool does not: artist statement, biography, artworks, PDF portfolio export.
Your data stays in your browser
The CV Generator runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server. Your CV data stays on your device — until you choose to export it.
This is the same principle behind the MyArtPDF macOS app: your work stays yours, always.
Build your artist CV — free, in your browser
