Your Artist Card lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. At a gallery opening, a studio visit, a networking event — one scan and whoever you've just met has your full professional profile in their hands.
Not your Instagram. Not a Linktree. Your CV, your portfolio, your artist statement — everything a curator, collector, or collaborator actually needs.
Three steps to get set up.
Add your Artsume profile
Create your free Artsume account and build your artist profile: CV, portfolio, statement, and contact information. This becomes the destination when someone scans your card.
Generate your Artist Card
Artsume generates a digital Artist Card linked to your profile. Add it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet in one tap. It lives on your phone, ready whenever you need it.
Share at openings and art fairs
At your next opening, fair, or studio visit, let someone tap or scan your card. They see your full professional profile, including your CV, portfolio, and contact information. No app download required.
Try it, this is the real thing
In their hands instantly.
One scan at an opening. Your CV, portfolio, statement.
Someone scans your card at a gallery opening, art fair, or studio visit. Immediately on their phone: your full artist profile — CV, portfolio, statement, contact. No app download required on their end.
Apple Wallet & Google Wallet.
No app required to receive.
Your Artist Card lives alongside your boarding passes and credit cards. Pull it up at any moment, let someone tap or scan, and your profile is on their phone. It's always there when you need it.
Every scan is tracked.
See who's looking at your profile and when.
Every time someone scans your card, Artsume records when and where. See your scan history, identify patterns, and know which events are generating real interest in your practice.
Not your Instagram.
Your professional profile. The actual career.
When a curator, collector, or gallerist scans your card, they see your career record — not a social feed. CV, portfolio, exhibition history, statement. The things that actually matter to the people who matter.
Why artists need a digital business card
Why artists need a digital business card
Paper cards go in a drawer. A digital card goes directly to someone's phone and links to your full profile. For artists, that difference matters. The person you meet at an opening can access your CV and portfolio within seconds of meeting you.
What is an NFC artist card?
An NFC artist card uses near-field communication technology (the same technology in contactless payments) to share your profile with a tap. No camera, no QR scanning needed. Someone holds their phone near your card and your profile appears.
Digital business card vs. paper card
Paper cards carry a name, website, and maybe a phone number. A digital artist card links to your CV, portfolio, statement, and contact information. Unlike paper, it updates automatically when you add new work or exhibitions.
What information should an artist business card include?
Your name, practice description, CV link, portfolio link, and contact information. Artsume's Artist Card includes all of this through your profile, so anyone who scans it can review your work and reach you directly.
Using your artist card at gallery openings and art fairs
Openings and fairs are fast. You have seconds with a curator or collector before the conversation moves on. A digital card lets you share your full profile in those seconds. They can review your CV and portfolio at their own pace later.
Common questions.
Straight answers.
“Having it right there in the wallet to scan is a big deal for artists meeting people at events. It's better than Instagram because they don't have to scroll through everything you've ever done — they see your professional résumé immediately.”
