Your public profile — Gallery, About, Artist Statement, Awards, and Activity

Your public profile is the page other artists, galleries, and collectors land on when they click your name. It lives at **arthelper.com/your-slug** — where "your-slug" is the short URL name you picked when you signed up. Your profile is more than the main gallery. It's a small set of tabs, each one a separate page, that together tell the whole story of who you are and what you make. This article walks through all of them and shows you where each piece of content gets edited.## The five public tabs at a glanceWhen someone visits your profile, they see a row of tabs across the top of the page. Each tab is its own page with its own web address. Tabs only show up if you have content for them — an empty Artist Statement tab won't appear at all.- **Gallery** — lives at **arthelper.com/your-slug**. Your main page. Every piece of work you've uploaded, in a grid, with the most recent first.- **About** — lives at **arthelper.com/your-slug/about**. Your story — background, journey, how you got to where you are.- **Artist Statement** — lives at **arthelper.com/your-slug/artist-statement**. Your statement of intent — themes, materials, influences, what you want viewers to feel.- **Awards** — lives at **arthelper.com/your-slug/awards**. Contests you've won on ArtHelper. Appears automatically once you've placed in one.- **Activity** — lives at **arthelper.com/your-slug/activity**. Your community posts, comments, and engagement, in time order.You may also see **Room mockups** and **Awards** tabs depending on what's saved on your account. Mockups are described in the [Room mockups](/marketing-tools/room-mockups/) article.## How to view your own public profile1. Open [Settings](https://app.arthelper.ai/settings) from the left sidebar.2. Click **View Profile**. Your public profile opens in a new browser tab, exactly as a visitor would see it.3. Click between the tabs across the top — **Gallery**, **About**, **Artist Statement**, **Awards**, **Activity** — to see each page.**Tip:** Copy the web address from that new tab whenever you want to share your profile — in an email signature, on a business card, in your Instagram bio. The same address takes a visitor straight to your gallery.## How to edit your profile fieldsAs of August 2026, all profile fields — including your About (My Story), Artist Statement, Bio, Display Name, Links, and Categories — are edited directly on your Town Square profile page using inline editing.1. Click your avatar or name anywhere in ArtHelper to open your Town Square profile.2. Click **Edit Profile** at the top of your profile page.3. Click into any field to edit it inline — **Display Name**, **Bio**, **My Story** (your About page content), **Artist Statement**, **Links**, or **Categories**.4. For longer fields like **My Story** or **Artist Statement**, you'll see a small wand icon next to the field. Click it to let ArtHelper draft content based on the work you've uploaded and your existing profile details.5. If you use the wand, read the draft, click **Suggest changes** to refine it, and click **Use** when it sounds like you.6. Changes save automatically as you edit — no separate Save button required.You can also reach your Town Square profile by clicking your avatar in the header or sidebar, or by visiting the **Town Square** section and clicking through to your own profile.## The About pageThe About page is the long-form story of who you are as an artist. Think background, journey, what brought you here. It's less about a single piece of work and more about you as a person.To fill it in:1. Click your avatar or name to open your Town Square profile.2. Click **Edit Profile** at the top of the page.3. Click into the **My Story** field.4. Type your story directly, or click the small wand icon next to the field to let ArtHelper draft something based on the work you've uploaded.5. If you use the wand, read the draft, click **Suggest changes** to nudge it, and click **Use** when it sounds like you.6. Your changes save automatically.The About tab on your public profile only shows up once you've added a story. While it's empty, visitors don't see the tab.## The Artist Statement pageThe Artist Statement is the more formal, more curated piece of writing — the one a gallery or curator would read. It explains the ideas behind your work: themes, materials, influences, what you want your audience to take away. The About page is biography; the Artist Statement is intent.To fill it in:1. Click your avatar or name to open your Town Square profile.2. Click **Edit Profile** at the top of the page.3. Click into the **Artist Statement** field.4. Type your statement, or click the wand to let ArtHelper draft one from your uploaded work and profile details.5. Edit until it sounds right. The Artist Statement is a piece of writing curators and collectors take seriously — it's worth a careful pass.6. Your changes save automatically.**Why this matters:** A complete Artist Statement is one of the things the Human-Made Art badge review looks for. If you're hoping to be verified as a human-made artist, a thoughtful statement is part of the case. See the [Human-Made Art badge criteria](/human-made-art-badge/what-qualifies-as-human-made/) article for the full list.## The Awards pageThe Awards tab appears automatically once you've placed in a community contest on ArtHelper. You don't fill this page in yourself — it's built from contests you've actually won. Each award shows the contest name, the place you finished, and the date.If you'd like to earn one, browse the [Contests](https://www.arthelper.com/community/contests) page and enter an active contest. Contests are short challenges run by communities — submit a piece, the community votes, and winners are surfaced on their Awards page.## The Activity pageThe Activity tab is a public timeline of what you've done in the community — posts you've created, comments you've left, contests you've entered. It lets a visitor see whether you're an active participant or someone who only uploads work.There's nothing to fill in directly — the Activity page builds itself from what you do in the community. Posting a piece in a community, commenting on someone else's post, or entering a contest all show up here.If you'd rather keep this private, you can hide the Activity tab altogether:1. Click your avatar or name to open your Town Square profile.2. Click **Edit Profile** at the top of the page.3. Find the **Show activity on public profile** toggle.4. Turn it off. The Activity tab disappears from your public profile immediately.## The Gallery pageYour Gallery is the page at **arthelper.com/your-slug** — no sub-path. Every piece of art you upload lands here automatically, most-recent first. Visitors can click any piece to see it in full, read the title and description, and tap through to a room mockup.To curate what shows up on your Gallery:1. Open [My Artwork](https://app.arthelper.ai/my-artwork).2. Click any piece to open its details.3. Use the visibility setting on each piece to decide whether it appears publicly. Private pieces stay in your own My Artwork only.## Why a complete profile mattersA complete profile is the difference between a visitor scrolling past your work and stopping to look. A first-time visitor checks three things in the first few seconds:- Is there an avatar and a real name, or is this an empty placeholder?- Is there a one-line bio and a few pieces of work that hang together as a body?- Is there a story or statement that tells them who's behind the work?Filling in your About and Artist Statement pages is the single highest-leverage thing you can do for how others perceive your profile. The AI wand can write the first draft for either of them in a few seconds — you just need to read it, edit a line or two, and save.## Quick checklist before you log off**Run through this once:** Open your public profile in a new tab and look at it as a stranger would. Then come back to your Town Square profile, click **Edit Profile**, and fix anything that feels thin.- Is your **Display Name** the name you want collectors to see?- Is your **Bio** filled in — one short line that sums up your work?- Is your **My Story** filled in, so the About tab shows up?- Is your **Artist Statement** filled in, so the statement tab shows up?- Are your **Links** active — Instagram, your own website, anywhere else you live online?- Are your **Categories** accurate, so the right collectors find you in the directory?- Is your profile set to **Public** visibility?**If your profile isn't ready, you'll see a banner when you edit:** The banner will remind you to add a display name and upload at least 4 public images — until then, your profile is hidden from Artists and Art directories.## Common questions### Why doesn't my About tab show up on my public profile?The About tab only appears once you've added something to the **My Story** field. Click your avatar to open your Town Square profile, click **Edit Profile**, add a paragraph to the **My Story** field — the tab appears immediately.### Can I have different stories in different languages?Yes. ArtHelper translates your About and Artist Statement into Spanish, German, French, and Portuguese automatically, so visitors in those languages see the right version. You write the original in your own language; the rest is handled for you. See the [Multi-language](/notifications-and-settings/multi-language/) article for details.### Do visitors see my Awards tab if I've never won anything?No. The Awards tab only appears once you've placed in at least one community contest. Until then, visitors don't see the tab at all.### How do I hide my Activity tab?Click your avatar to open your Town Square profile, click **Edit Profile**, turn off the **Show activity on public profile** toggle. The tab disappears from your public profile right away.### What's the difference between my Bio and my Artist Statement?Your Bio is one short line — the snapshot that shows under your name throughout the site. Your Artist Statement is the longer, more formal piece — the one curators and collectors read on your dedicated Artist Statement page. Both are useful; they do different jobs.### Where did the old Settings → Profile page go?As of August 2026, the dedicated Profile Settings modal has been retired. All profile editing now happens inline on your Town Square profile page. Click your avatar anywhere in ArtHelper, click **Edit Profile**, and edit fields directly on the page. Changes save automatically as you type.
