BEFORE registering - gather the following:-

​

2. Artist Bio: - Must be between 150-250 words about your work, your studio, and what inspires you. Must be written in the 3rd person, eg, Sue Smith is an artist... (TIP:- Write it in Word, then copy it here. Proofread and spell check first!) This will be on your page on the MOST website. See an example here 

3. Artistic C.V. (optional) max 1 page. Word doc. or PDF

6. Provide 3 - 7 good-quality photos of artwork made within the last 12 months, and 1 self-portrait (preferably in-studio). See an example here. NB: Previous MOST artists need only update product photos and upload a better self-portrait if desired.

• These images will be used by MOST for marketing purposes. 

• The image must be a minimum of 2 MB - maximum 10 MB, in JPG format. 

• Please label the file as follows in lowercase: - first name-surname-image-title.jpg

• 2-dimensional work should have NO background, just the painting/drawing, etc.

• 3-dimensional work should be photographed with a plain background, or for sculpture, with as little background distraction, or else in situ, i.e, a garden setting
