Public Profile has a new look and more ways to make it your own. With an updated design, easier navigation, and more ways to share your work and story, visitors can explore what matters most and find what they’re looking for.
Quick glimpse of what's been updated:
Choose your own layout: side or top navigation, single or multi-column grid, serif or sans-serif type
Visitors can now sort and filter your Artwork by price, size, and availability, if you allow it
A new Contact page replaces the old message pop-up, giving visitors a dedicated place to reach you
Your Category filter now supports subcategories, so visitors can narrow their search further
News posts now support richer styling and images, plus the option to save as a draft or schedule ahead of time
For Organizations: Exhibition pages are smarter, showing current, upcoming, and past shows automatically based on their dates
For Organizations: The map experience is more interactive, with location thumbnails and direct navigation to Artwork
Embeds on your own website can match your new Public Profile too. They won't change on their own. Copy your new code from the Integrations tab and paste it over your old code to switch

Make Your Public Profile Feel More Like Your Own
Choose how your work is presented and create a browsing experience that fits your artwork and how you want visitors to explore.
From your Profile Settings, you can now:
Choose your navigation style with a side or top menu.
Customize your artwork grid with larger, single-column images or the standard multi-column layout.
Choose your typography with serif type across your profile, including your navigation menu, or sans serif throughout.
Decide how artwork details appear below images or directly on them in grid view.
Choose what visitors see first by displaying the artist name or artwork title first.
Create a more seamless browsing experience with the new infinite scroll option, so visitors can keep exploring without clicking through pages.

Make It Easier for Visitors to Find the Work They’re Looking For
Give visitors more flexibility to explore your artwork in the way that works best for them, while you stay in control of which browsing options are available.
Visitors can now:
Sort artwork their way when you enable the Sort Menu.
Narrow down artwork by size, price, and availability when you enable the Filtering Bar.
Explore by category and subcategory, including multiple selections at once.
Search is also more intuitive. On Collection, Artist, and Exhibition pages, results stay within the page visitors are exploring, making it easier to find relevant work without leaving that context.
Make It Easier for Visitors to Get in Touch
Your new dedicated Contact page gives visitors a clear, professional way to reach you directly from your Public Profile.
Customize the page with a short introduction and the contact information you choose to share, including your phone number and address, alongside a convenient contact form.
You stay in control of what’s public. Your personal contact details remain private unless you choose to display them.
Did you know?
The Contact page is on by default, and you can turn it off at any time with Show Contact Page under Profile Settings > Layout & Display.
Put the Right Image Front and Center
Choose whether your Public Profile features your profile image or logo, so your profile reflects how you want to present yourself or your collection.
Under Profile Info, simply select Use Profile Image or Use Logo, and that choice will appear consistently across your Public Profile.
Make It Easier for Visitors to Explore Your Exhibitions (For Organizations)
Your Exhibitions page now gives visitors a clearer view of what’s happening now, what’s coming up, and what they may have missed.
Exhibitions are automatically organized by date, with:
Current exhibitions front and center.
Upcoming exhibitions highlighted with the option to view more.
Past exhibitions easy to browse and revisit.
Put a face to every artist on your exhibition pages. Each card on the Artists tab shows the artist's headshot, or one of their Pieces if no headshot has been added.
More seamless navigation between artworks, artists, and rooms, with previous and next controls that keep visitors within the exhibition they’re exploring.
Artwork Archive handles the organization automatically based on the exhibition dates you’ve entered, so your page stays organized and easy to explore.
Share More Through Your News Posts
Your Public Profile posts now give you more ways to share updates, stories, and news with your audience.
Bring posts to life with images alongside your text.
Create more polished posts with expanded formatting and styling options.
Work on your own timeline by saving posts as drafts until they’re ready.
Plan ahead by scheduling posts to publish automatically on a future date.
Help Visitors Explore Your Collection by Location
Your updated Public Profile map makes it easier for visitors to discover where artworks in your collection are located and explore the work at each location.
Narrow the map by location with new filtering options.
Get a more visual view of your collection with artwork thumbnails displayed at each location.
Explore what’s at each location with details and images for up to five artworks.
Dive deeper with direct links to individual artworks or everything associated with a location.
Navigate and Preview Your Public Profile More Easily
We’ve simplified Public Profile navigation and layouts to make managing and previewing your profile more intuitive.
Preview your Public Profile anytime, even when it’s private, without changing its visibility or making it public.
Find your artwork more easily with “Portfolio” now renamed “Artworks” throughout your navigation.
Get layouts designed for each type of content, with Grid and Tile options for Artworks, a dedicated grid for Artist Page (on Organization Account), and cards for Collections.
Your Collections page displays as cards, one for each Collection
Inside an individual Collection, your Pieces display in the same Tile or Grid view you have chosen for your Artwork page, so the two always match. See How to Change the Layout of Artworks on Your Public Profile.
Update Your Website Embed to the New Design
Your embed can now match the look of your redesigned Public Profile, whether you embed your portfolio, a Collection, an artist page, your Artists list, or an Exhibition.
Embeds already on your website won't change on their own, because Artwork Archive can't edit your website for you. They keep the classic design and keep working as they do today. To switch, copy your code again and replace the old code on your website.
Click My Profile in the left-side menu, then the Integrations tab
Check that Use the classic embed design (optional) is turned off
Copy the code for what you embedded before
In your website builder, open the HTML or embed block that holds your Artwork Archive code
Delete the old code, paste the new code in its place, and save or publish the page
Happy with the classic design? You don't need to do anything. Accounts created after a certain date only have the new design, so you may not see the classic toggle. The web embed is available on Artist Professional, Artist Master, Collector Plus, Collector Premier, and all Organization plans.
