Updating Your Gallery Page – it is good to do this every year

A Gallery Page allows a member to have a presence in FAN and can also be used in lieu of a personal website. However, a Gallery Page is required for entering a FAN Gallery Exhibit, but not for Boxed Exhibits.

• The My Gallery link is used to add, delete or change any artwork listing on your Artist Gallery page.
• You can also update your Profile image and Artist Description on this page. These will be saved to your My Profile page.
• Images of new work can be added after clicking the plus symbol in the first box. You are allowed a total of 16 images. You can include Exhibit artwork here as it will not automatically be added to your Artist Gallery.
• To remove an artwork click on the X on the upper right corner of the image.
• To change an existing image, click on the pencil symbol on the bottom right of the image. This will take you to a page where you can adjust your Artwork Title, upload a new image, and enter a price (or NFS), dimension and artist description.
• IMPORTANT: Don’t forget to hit the purple SAVE CHANGES button at the bottom of the page. You will get a message indicating changes have been saved and you can then use the back button on your browser or the BACK button at the top left of the window to return to My Gallery.  Take a look at the public Artist Gallery page and make sure everything is as you want it.

Problems/Unsure????

If you are hesitant at all about editing your Artist Gallery Page, please contact the Gallery Page Coordinator who can assist you or do it for you. Always check your Artist Gallery Page listing and the FAN Membership Directory right away to make sure that the changes are as you wish (you may have to use your browser’s refresh button to make sure new changes appear). If there are any mistakes, correct them immediately by repeating the processes described above.
