Anyone can casually browse the ArtFile Online or register as a Curator to save favorites... but you must be a current WPA member to set up a portfolio page. For more information, see our membership page here.

The ArtFile is pleased to present an interface that will allow you to easily join the ArtFile and have control over your own portfolio page. To be included in the Artfile Online you must upload a MINIMUM of 2 images, but you are welcome to upload up to 12 images as well as an artist’s statement, resume, and link to your website.

Once you have submitted the information below, you will receive a confirmation email that will include your username and password for your records. After at least 2 images have been uploaded to your page, the Artfile Coordinator will briefly review your portfolio and then activate your page. Please allow 1-2 weeks for your images and information to be included in the Artfile Online database. After this initial review has been completed you may update your portfolio page immediately, at any time.

It is your responsibility to keep your portfolio page updated, and we recommend do so once a year. If you do not update your portfolio page for 2 years, you will automatically be removed from the Artfile. A warning email will be sent to you a month in advance of this date.

If you have any problems or questions, visit the Artist Support page. For more information about the Artfile, please click here. If you still need help, please email the Artfile Coordinator at artfile@wpadc.org.
