Student portfolios shouldn't die at graduation
Most art departments lose track of student work the moment students leave campus. They have no shared way to show current students or alumni to industry.
The old way
Portfolios scattered everywhere
Student work lives across personal websites, class folders and semester submissions, inconsistent and invisible to anyone outside the course.
Alumni records that end 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 show student work
There is no single place to put current students and alumni in front of industry, hiring managers or accreditation reviewers. Every attempt starts 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.
A department-wide alumni network
Every graduating class adds to the same living alumni network. Your department grows a connected community of current students and graduates.
Live 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.
One place for students, alumni and juried shows
Juried shows, alumni programming and accreditation reporting all draw on the same student records.
Student-owned profiles
Every student builds a professional profile they own. It lives beyond graduation. The department keeps the network, and the student keeps the credential.
Alumni network
Build a living network of current students and graduates. Every cohort adds to the same network that compounds with each academic year.
Accreditation-ready records
Student and alumni data is already structured for reporting. Pull what you need for accreditation reviews without manual exports or reconciliation.
Juried-show submissions
Run student open calls, juried shows, and portfolio reviews through the platform. Applications flow into the same department network.

Questions from institutions.
What does Artsume keep that other student-portfolio platforms don't?
Most student-portfolio platforms are course-scoped. Those platforms archive submissions when the semester ends, and the data stays with the institution. On Artsume each student owns a professional profile they keep and update after graduation. Your department retains the alumni network, and the student walks away with a career identity. Career services and accreditation reviewers pull from that same record, with no reconciliation across platforms.
How is Artsume different from a student portfolio website or alumni CRM?
A portfolio website runs one way: students post work and the department sees nothing. An alumni CRM puts staff in charge of keeping contact details fresh, so the details go stale. Artsume works from both sides. The profile is the student's credential, built for arts careers. They maintain it themselves. The department gets a living alumni network without the data-maintenance burden.
How does Artsume help art departments manage juried student shows?
Artsume handles submissions for juried shows, open studios and portfolio reviews. Students submit through a consistent, professional format. Faculty and guest jurors review together, using blind review to reduce bias and scoring rubrics aligned to your department's criteria. Decisions and scores stay in one place, not in a spreadsheet.
Does Artsume support blind review for juried student evaluations?
Yes. Blind review hides identifying information from faculty and guest jurors while they evaluate, so work is assessed on merit rather than name recognition. You control what's hidden: student name, location, contact details, links, institution, references. Program leads, owners and admins keep full visibility, so they can still administer the review. Juror scores are governed separately. Set review visibility to blind until decisions are released. No one sees another juror's scores while the panel is in flight.
What file formats can students submit through Artsume?
Students can submit high-resolution images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF), videos (MP4, MOV), PDFs, written artist statements, CVs, and structured form responses. Every submission arrives in a consistent, professional format, so there's nothing to chase down or decode.
How much does Artsume cost for educational institutions?
Getting started is free with Artsume Network, educational institutions included: unlimited juried shows, student submissions, faculty and staff seats, alumni network access, and simple reviews. Artsume Intelligence ($79/month billed annually, or $129/month monthly) adds advanced blind review, custom scoring rubrics, reporting, and written artist overviews. We only charge a 10% platform fee when you collect application or entry payments through Stripe, and that 10% is all-in: Artsume covers the card processing, with no monthly minimum and no per-payout charge.
