In the first instance you should make sure that you have registered with ArtSelector and filled out your Art Profile page. To do this first register / login and using the menu at the top of the page go to:

My Account  >  Edit Account

Here you should upload your art profile page image and check your account settings. Next go to:

My Account  >  Art Profile

Here you will be able to provide your statement, education and training details and web links to examples of your work.  When you are happy with the way your profile page looks click on the 'Apply for ACAD' button and select either the 'Individual' or 'Gallery/Organisation' options - whichever is most appropriate - then click 'Apply'.

A place in the ArtSelector Contemporary Art Directory is completely free - but we are only able to accept professional contemporary artists and organisations who have a critically engaged practice / programme and are producing / exhibiting exceptional work. In this way we will build the very best international directory of contemporary art. Applications are reviewed regularly by our panel of contemporary art professionals and successful applicants are informed by email. If you do not receive notification of acceptance after 30 days you should assume that your application was unsuccessful. Our panel will only consider well presented and fully completed art profile pages - applicants with single line statements or missing profile pictures will not hold their attention and are unlikely to be accepted. For more details on our selection process please read this announcement.

Accepted artists will then find three image tabs on their art profile page through which they can upload, title and classify images of their work to be shown in the ACAD directory.

We are always on the look out for fresh, critically engaged contemporary art and regularly review art profile pages.  It's a good idea to make yourself more visible on the site by interacting on forums, starting your own group, submitting exhibition listings, reviews and other content.  When you login you will find a Create Content menu in the left hand navigation section and also at the top right of the Network page - use it!

By drawing attention to yourself our admissions panel is much more likely to notice you and your work!
