The Artist CV: a working reference.
How working artists structure, build and tailor a CV that professional readers actually scan — conventions, honest listing, early-career builds and the master-record method.
01

The canonical sections, what each one proves to a professional reader, and the conventions behind the order.
19 min 02Listing exhibitions honestly: solo, group, juried, invitational
Show types, venue formats, curatorial roles — and what not to pad, because professionals catch it.
14 min 03Building a legible artist CV from near-zero
What counts early, how to frame a thin record without faking it, and how to signal momentum.
17 min 04The master CV and its cuts: tailoring, one-page vs full
