Mastering Your Portfolio & Profile Area

Your [**Profile**](https://app.arthelper.ai/profile) is the public-facing version of your work. Collectors, gallery owners, fellow artists, and anyone who finds you through ArtHelper sees this page — so it's worth getting right. This guide walks you through editing it, previewing what visitors see, and the handful of fields that have the most outsized effect on first impressions.## Open your profile editor1. Open [Profile](https://app.arthelper.ai/profile) from the left sidebar.2. You'll land on your **Town Square profile page**, where you can edit every field on your public profile inline by clicking **Edit Profile**.## Preview what visitors see1. From [Profile](https://app.arthelper.ai/profile), click the **View Profile** button in the top-right.2. Your live public profile opens in a new tab on **www.arthelper.com**.**Tip:** Copy the URL from that new tab whenever you want to share your portfolio — in an email signature, a social bio, or a gallery application.## Edit the fields that matter most1. From your [Town Square profile page](https://app.arthelper.ai/profile), click **Edit Profile** to make any field editable inline.2. These four fields make the biggest difference to how people read your profile:- **Display name** — the name shown at the top of your profile. Use the name you sign your work with.- **Bio** — a short paragraph about you (up to 280 characters). Mention medium, where you're based, and one or two things that make your work distinctive.- **Artist statement** — longer than the bio. This is where collectors look to understand what your work is about.- **Categories** — tag your work by medium and style. Visitors and search use these to find you, so be specific (**oil painting**, **landscape**) rather than generic (**art**).3. If you're not sure what to write, click the sparkle icon next to **Bio**, **Artist statement**, or **Categories** — Arty drafts a starting point from the artwork you've already uploaded, and you can edit from there.4. Click **Save** when you're done editing.## Add social links and location1. From your [Town Square profile page](https://app.arthelper.ai/profile), click **Edit Profile**.2. Scroll to the **Social Links** section.3. Paste the full URL of each social profile you want to show (Instagram, Bluesky, LinkedIn, personal website, and so on).4. In the **Location** field, type your city. The picker autocompletes — pick the right entry so it shows correctly on the map.5. Click **Save** at the bottom.## Manage which images appear on your profile1. Open [Profile](https://app.arthelper.ai/profile) and click the **Gallery** tab.2. You'll see every image from [My Artwork](https://app.arthelper.ai/my-artwork). Toggle each one's public/private setting to control whether it appears on your public profile.3. Click **Save**.**Note:** Your profile only goes live once you have at least **4 public images** and a display name filled in. Below that, the public page shows a placeholder.## Common questions### Where is my public profile hosted?On **www.arthelper.com/your-slug**, where *your-slug* is generated from your display name. Click **View Profile** on [Profile](https://app.arthelper.ai/profile) to see your live URL.### How do I hide my profile entirely?On your [Town Square profile page](https://app.arthelper.ai/profile), click **Edit Profile** and toggle the visibility setting to private. Your page will return a not-found response to anyone who tries to visit it.### Can I change the URL slug?Reach out to support from the chat icon in the lower-right corner of any page on [app.arthelper.ai](https://app.arthelper.ai/). Custom slugs are handled manually so inbound links from existing shares don't break.### How often should I update my profile?Refresh your bio and artist statement once or twice a year, and add new pieces to the Gallery whenever you upload something you're proud of. Keeping the public page current is the single highest-leverage thing you can do for discovery.
