One of the first steps when joining You&I Gallery, is submitting your Artist Profile. This is how visitors can see who you are, and can access all of your art in one place.
The Artist Profile submission form allows you to do just that in an easy and structured manner. We will then use your information to build your profile. Filling in the form may take some time, but it is well worth it and you only have to do it once.
The form will collect the following information from you:

- Your credentials and the exhibitions you have exhibited your work at;
- Your story through an introduction of yourself and your career;
- Images of yourself and your art studio (check out our Image Requirements to make sure your pictures fit into the profile).
You will at all times be able to to change any information that was uploaded to your artist profile, by contacting us on our support email at support@youandigallery.com.
Don’t be afraid to be yourself when writing your profile. We want to give you the freedom to express yourself and show yourself in the best possible light.
