3

Submit and Access Your Dashboard

Submit the form. You are taken directly to your Artist Dashboard, where you can begin completing your profile and uploading artwork straight away.

​
Complete Your Artist Profile

A strong, complete profile builds trust with collectors and increases the likelihood of sales. After creating your account, take time to fill in each section of your profile.
1

Add a Profile Photo

Upload a clear, professional photo of yourself. Collectors connect more readily with artists whose faces they can see. A high-quality headshot or studio portrait works best.
2

Write Your Biography

Tell your story. Describe your artistic practice, influences, and what drives your work. Collectors respond to personal narratives — help them understand who you are and what your art means.
Write your bio in the first person and keep it between 150–300 words. Be specific: name the mediums you work in, the themes you explore, and any notable exhibitions or achievements. Artists like Roshan Bhandari, who mentions his ICCR scholarship and academic background, give collectors a clear and compelling picture of their credentials.
3

Set Your Specialty and Genre

Choose the artistic specialty or genre that best describes your work (for example: Painting, Fine Art, Architecture & Installation, or Photography). This helps collectors browsing by category discover your profile.
4

Add Your Location

Include your city and country. Many collectors prefer to support artists from specific regions, and your location adds another dimension to your public profile.

​
What Your Public Profile Shows

Once your profile is live, collectors can visit it directly at: 
https://annapurnaart.com/artist/{your-id}
Your public profile displays your name, specialty, follower count, likes, biography, and all your verified artworks with prices. Keeping your profile current and your portfolio active is one of the most effective ways to attract repeat visitors and build a following.
Your profile page also includes dedicated tabs for Not For Sale works, Ratings & Reviews, and Exhibitions — giving collectors a full picture of your practice beyond items currently listed for purchase.

​
After Signing Up

Upload Your First Artwork

Head to your Artist Dashboard to add your first piece — including up to five images, a description, and your asking price.

Create a Virtual Exhibition

Use the Exhibition feature in your dashboard to group artworks into themed virtual shows and attract new collectors.
Use an email address you actively monitor. Annapurna Art sends order notifications, delivery updates, and payment confirmations to your registered email. Missing these messages can delay order fulfilment and payment.
