Frequently asked
Popular Questions
Concise answers to the questions artists, studios and visitors ask most.
How do I create my artist profile?
Sign in, then open the professional sign-up. You enter your name, city and the styles you work in, and the profile is created under your account.
Once the profile exists, everything else — portfolio, styles, location, studio relationships — is managed from your professional dashboard.
How do I claim my studio listing?
Studio listings can already exist publicly before anyone owns them. Sign in, open the professional sign-up, and search for the listing by name. Requesting the claim links that existing listing to your account — it does not create a second one.
A claim request is checked before administrative access is granted: either against a professional email on the studio's own domain, or by our team. It is not automatic, and a listing that is already claimed by someone else is reported as a conflict rather than transferred.
How do I update a studio relationship?
Studio relationships are declared by the artist from the professional dashboard, in the Studios section, where a relationship can also be updated, set as primary or marked as former.
A relationship is declared by the artist; it is not a confirmation issued by the studio.
What is the difference between a claimed listing and a verified profile?
Claimed means someone has taken administrative control of an existing listing and can manage its content. It says who maintains the listing, nothing more.
Verified is a separate, optional status. For an artist profile, it is requested from the professional dashboard by proving control of your professional website domain, with a verification tag placed on that site, and it is reviewed by our team, which may ask for additional proof. Claiming a listing does not grant verification.
A paid plan does not grant verification, and neither a plan nor verification changes the support you receive.
