SmArt School

smarter art Market

What is the alumni portfolio page 'smarter art market'?

It's where artists who studied at SmArt School and the IMC can have portfolio pages for free!  To be eligible all you have to do is complete a SmArt School mentorship beyond the beginner level or have attended the IMC. We're not your average school, we continue to promote the artists who studied with us!

How do I join?

Submissions are accepted twice a year, during these dates:
  • From July 1 -- July 21st (midnight EST)
  • From January 1--January 21st (midnight EST)​​
  • Send up to six jpgs of your artwork for a new portfolio.
  • 1200 pixels max on the longest side
  • Label each jpg:  "artist's first name-last name-the word 'art'-artwork's name" ​
  • Send a bio
  • Send a bio photo
  • Send links to all your sites and socials (promote yourself!)
  • Send a note of which IMC or SmArt School program(s) you took part in
For your bio: Include specifics about what you do. This helps people searching for your work. Use terms like ‘young adult’ or ‘science fiction’ or ‘original art for sale’ if they apply to your portfolio. Just keep it real (don’t keyword spam).
