I’m
having problems uploading my images. Any suggestions?
Make sure your image file is a .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, or .bmp format.
(.jpg recommended) The file size should be 72dpi, and at least 450 x 350 pixels
(the database will automatically resize it for you). Large file sizes may take
longer to upload. Also make sure your image files are RGB color not CMYK.
How do I
change my contact information or update my portfolio page?
Once you have logged in to your account (www.afonline.artistsspace.org/login.php),
you will be taken to your Artist Management page. The left hand menu of this
page will allow you to access your information, and change your contact information,
password, and manage your images and statement and resume text. Be sure to update
your information with us at least once every 2 years, or your file will automatically
be removed (you will receive a warning notice one month before this occurs.)
Can I email
or give out a link to my Artists File portfolio page?
Yes – when you are on your artist portfolio page, just copy and paste
the web address that shows in your browser, that is your unique address that
will lead directly to your Artists File portfolio page!
What if
I don’t have an email address?
This website REQUIRES you to have an email address to be a member of the
Artists File. This is also how curators and interested persons will contact
you, and will be used as your username to log-in to your account. You can get
a free email address at www.hotmail.com
or www.yahoo.com.
What if
I don’t have digital images of my artwork?
There are many ways to create images of your artwork as a digital file from
using a digital camera, scanning slides, to creating a CD of your artwork from
35mm film. Many digital and photographic services are available
that can scan your slides.
Why can’t
I find my name when I search for it in the Artists File Online?
Type your full name in the Keyword Search field and then click GO. Make sure
you have at least two images uploaded to your online portfolio, and that it
has been over two weeks since you have joined the Artists File. If you still
cannot find your page, email the Artists File Coordinator at artfile@artistsspace.org
What has
happened to the hard files that used to be in the Artists File?
Artists Space has donated the entire Artists File archive to the library of
the Museum of Modern Art in the summer of 2006.
How
do I remove myself from the Artists File Online database?
Email the Artists File Coordinator at artfile@artistsspace.org
if you would like to remove yourself and your artwork from the Artists File
Online.
