July brought new ways to keep the people, opportunities, documents, and public parts of your practice connected. The focus was on helping you spend less time searching for details.
Artlope now has a dedicated Contacts area. It gathers buyers, collaborators, galleries, organizers, and portfolio recipients into one place. When the same gallery appears in several records, Artlope combines those connections. You can also add your own contacts, notes, email addresses, and website links. This makes it easier to prepare for a follow-up without searching through past exhibitions, sales, or applications.
The new Schedule gives you one view of current and upcoming exhibition and submission events. You can add deadlines, artist talks, interviews, installation dates, and other events from the schedule or from the related record. If an exhibition event is public, you can choose to show it on your website. This helps you keep important dates visible while sharing the right events with visitors.
Submissions became more flexible for the different opportunities artists pursue. You can now record whether an application is for an exhibition, residency, award, studio space, acquisition, publication, or another purpose. One submission can include more than one purpose. You can also link a portfolio to a submission, so its artworks stay connected to the application. This makes it clearer what you sent and easier to reuse your work when an opportunity develops.
Portfolios and CVs now give you more control over the document you share. You can write a custom artist statement for a portfolio when an opportunity needs a specific focus. For CV exports, you can choose sections, contact details, order, sort direction, paper size, and file format. These options help you prepare a document that fits the recipient without changing your saved profile.
Your website gained more choices for presentation and publishing. You can feature up to three works, use a summary page as your home page, choose a color theme, change the menu location, and display artwork images in their original proportions. You can also turn on automatic updates after you create your site. Artlope waits for your editing to settle before publishing, so a group of related changes can go live together.
July also introduced Media Coverage. You can save reviews, interviews, articles, blog posts, and other mentions of your practice. Add an online link, details for a print source, an excerpt, or a screenshot. Then connect the mention to yourself, an artwork, or an exhibition. The record appears with the linked artwork or exhibition, which helps you keep your press history ready for future applications and presentations.
Finally, artwork, category, exhibition, and submission lists can now switch between grid and table views. Tables make larger records easier to scan, while grids keep the visual overview many artists prefer. Artlope remembers your choice, so each area can work the way you like.
The July changes hopefully make Artlope an even better place for your art practice.
