Artist Directory Instructions

This page outlines the steps for creating a profile in the Port Townsend Artist Directory. If you get stuck along the way, you can always reach out via email at [email protected] and [email protected].

Step 1

Fill out the information on the registration page at www.ptcreativedistrict.org/artist-register/.

Information added in the first section titled “Personal Information” will not be revealed on your public profile—we use this for administrative and account management purposes only. The information entered in subsequent sections (“Public Information, Description,” etc.) will be publicly visible as part of your artist profile.

Required fields are marked with a red asterisk; all other fields are not required to set up your profile.

Peruse the Terms and Conditions to see what materials are acceptable to upload to the site. Make sure the material you post is yours and appropriate for viewers of all ages.

Upon completing your registration, you will be redirected to a thank you page and recieve an email confirming that we recieved your information.

Step 2

There is a waiting period while an administrator reviews and approves your account, before you can begin editing it further. This shouldn’t take long—we work to approve users within a few business days.

While you’re waiting, you can gather materials you might want to add for the “Projects” section of your profile. You can display up to 12 projects on the site, and these can be images or videos hosted on YouTube or Vimeo. Images should be at least 1024 pixels wide.

Step 3

You have received an email approving your account—hooray! Now you can edit your profile and optionally add projects to your gallery.

In the email you recieved, take note of the username you picked out, as well as the URL for logging into the site. That URL will be: www.ptcreativedistrict.org/login.

You may now navigate to that URL and log in.

If you have forgotten your password, reset it using the “Forgot your password?” link below the Log In button. You’ll be asked for additional information before receiving a password reset link to your email address.

Once logged in, you will see a number of fields that closely match the fields you entered during the registration process. Additionally, you will see a Gallery section—this is where you can begin uploading items for your gallery. If you are a visual artist, these gallery items can be paintings or digital images you have created; if you are an actor, these can be videos of performances; if you are a chef, these could be photos of delicious-looking plates of food.

Once you have finished making updates, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the “Update” button to save your work.

That’s a wrap.

That’s it! If you have additional questions or suggestions for making these instructions better, please get in touch with Port Townsend Creative District staff via email at [email protected]. Thanks!
