Artist Profile Guidelines

Images

Make sure you upload a good quality image (we recommend a professional headshot or photo of yourself, or of you practicing your art form)
The best size for Artist Profile images is 370px (wide) x 275px (high)
Include the photographer’s name if possible
You will be asked to provide an ‘alternative text’ (description) for your image. This is a visual description of the image to give blind people information about what it contains.
Here’s an example: “photo of musician Jim Conway standing in front of a railway yard, with tracks and traffic lights disappearing off behind him. Jim is looking straight at camera and cupping his hands around his harmonica.”
