Student Portfolios Shouldn't Die at Graduation
Most art departments lose track of student work the moment they leave campus — and have no shared way to feature current students or alumni to industry.
The Old Way
Portfolios Scattered Everywhere
Student work lives across personal websites, class folders, and semester submissions — scattered, inconsistent, and invisible to anyone outside the course.
Alumni Records That Die at Graduation
The moment students graduate, departments lose their profile data, contact details, and career trajectory. Years of relationship-building disappear with commencement.
No Shared Way to Feature Student Work
There is no single place to showcase current students and alumni to industry, hiring managers, or accreditation reviewers — every attempt requires starting from scratch.
The Artsume Way
One Professional Profile Per Student
Students build a professional Artsume profile during their program. They own it, they update it, and they keep it after graduation — no data loss at the department's end.
Department-Wide Alumni Network
Every graduating class adds to the same living alumni network. Your department keeps growing a connected community of current students and graduates — year over year.
Living Data for Accreditation Reporting
Pull student and alumni activity data from the same network you use to run juried shows and alumni programs. One source of truth, no manual reconciliation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about getting started.
Most student-portfolio platforms are course-scoped — submissions get archived when the semester ends, and the data stays with the institution. Artsume works differently: each student owns a persistent professional profile they keep and update after graduation. Your department retains the alumni network layer while every student walks away with a portable career identity. Career services and accreditation reviewers pull from the same living source of truth — no manual reconciliation across platforms.
