Affiliated Artists

Affiliated Artists

Affiliated Artists is the home for every artist connected to your organization on Artsume — through CV claims, mentions, follows, or applications. It used to be called "Network." Same idea, clearer name.

The page at a glance

Open the Affiliated Artists tab from your organization dashboard.

On the left rail:

• Verified — artists whose claims you've confirmed
• Awaiting — artists who claimed a CV entry that links to your org, waiting on your review
• Needs review — disputed or flagged associations that need a decision

On the right:

• A list of contacts in the current bucket
• Search by name, email, or tag
• Filters for refining the list further
• Groups for organizing artists into your own categories

The lifecycle of an association

Every artist-to-organization connection has a state. The four states are:

Verified — You've confirmed the artist is connected to your organization. They show up in your verified list, and the connection shows publicly on both sides.

Awaiting — Artist claims a CV entry that links to your org (an exhibition, a residency, a grant). The claim sits in Awaiting until you confirm or dispute.

Disputed — You've explicitly disputed the artist's claim. The connection is hidden publicly and the artist is notified.

Dismissed — You've decided this claim doesn't need a public verification (a one-off interaction, no longer relevant, etc.). The claim disappears from your queue without notifying the artist.

Verify, Dispute, or Dismiss in bulk

Verifying claims one at a time gets slow once you have a dozen of them. Use multi-select instead.

1. Tap the Select button above the contacts table to enter multi-select mode
2. Tick the checkboxes for the artists you want to act on
3. A Bulk Actions bar appears at the bottom of the screen
4. Choose Verify, Dispute, or Dismiss
5. Confirm

The page refreshes once, so you don't see a stutter between rows updating. The action lands in the activity log on each artist's profile.

Per-artist detail

Click any artist in the table to open their detail view in the right rail. The rail is wider than usual (33% of the screen) so you can read CV entries, mentions, and notes without squinting.

From the rail you can:

• Verify, dispute, or dismiss the individual claim
• View their CV in context
• See every interaction they've had with your organization (applications, mentions, follows)
• Add internal notes

What artists see

Verified affiliations show up publicly on the artist's profile under their CV — the entry gets a small verified badge. Disputed or dismissed claims are hidden; only the artist can still see them on their side.

When you verify or dispute, the artist gets a notification (configurable in their notification settings).
