Step 1: Signing Up as a User (which we call Collector)

When you sign up you will be asked for your email, create a password and then agree to the terms and conditions. You know, standard stuff.

Step 2: Signing Up as a Creator

Once you've set up a user (Collector) account you will be invited to complete your creator profile. The 'Creator' profile will include your name, avatar image, url/domain name, and mailing address.

Make sure you save the domainname.letssart.com you choose. This is the link you will need to use with your social accounts to direct prospective buyers to online purchasing through instagram, twitter or facebook.

You will be asked to upload an artist bio and a home page 'hero' image. Your bio can include the themes and media you use in your work, when and where you've shown, been educated and any information about your approach, style, and art you produce. Make sure you have a short intro to your art prepared as well.

You will have an opportunity to add a lot of information about yourself.

You can add a few artworks before setting up your full gallery in the last step of your Creator Profile completion.

Step 4: Adding Collections

Make 'collections', and organise your artwork into series. Create rooms and spaces in your gallery for visitors.
