Overview

A group website is a shared ArtSites website managed by an administrator, where multiple artists contribute artwork under one roof. Group websites are ideal for artist collectives, studio buildings, gallery groups, and art associations that want a unified online presence.

How Group Websites Work

The administrator creates and manages the group website, including its design, pages, and overall branding. Artists are invited to join as members, and each member retains their own profile and artwork within the group.

• The administrator curates which artwork appears on the group website
• Each artist maintains their own profile and portfolio within the group
• Artists can submit artwork for the administrator to review and feature
• The group website has its own design, domain, and public-facing identity

How Group Websites Differ from Pro Websites

On a Pro website, you are the sole owner and everything on the website is yours. A group website is a collaborative space with distinct roles:

• Administrator -- manages the website design, membership, and curation
• Members -- contribute artwork and maintain their artist profiles

With a Pro website, you control every aspect of your website. On a group website, the administrator makes decisions about what appears on the website and how it looks, while members focus on their artwork and profiles.

Who Are Group Websites For?

• Artist collectives that want a shared online portfolio
• Studio buildings showcasing the artists who work there
• Gallery groups presenting a curated roster of artists
• Art associations offering members a collective web presence

Each member's artwork and profile remain portable -- if you leave a group website, your artwork and profile stay with you.
