Recommend an Artist

Structured recommendations for editorial consideration.

Recommendations are reviewed using a structured editorial and legal framework. The strongest recommendations provide clear context, verifiable references, and a concise rationale for relevance. Submissions that include unverified claims or unclear rights for media assets may require additional documentation before review can proceed.

Submit recommendations to: Email: recommend-an-artist@thearttimes.com

Include a short rationale (4–8 lines), links to representative work, and any professional context that supports evaluation. Avoid sending sensitive personal data by email.

What to include (recommended structure)

  1. Artist identification: full name, studio location (city/country), primary medium
  2. Portfolio: 2–4 links to representative work (official site preferred)
  3. Context: short bio (3–6 lines), selected exhibitions or publications (if applicable)
  4. Why now: relevance, recent body of work, award, exhibition, or notable development
  5. Contacts: artist contact or representation (if available), plus your relationship/disclosure
  6. Rights clarity: if any images/video are attached, include credits and permission status

Review principles

  • Editorial decisions are based on relevance, quality, verification, timing, and legal clarity.
  • Conflicts of interest must be disclosed (representation, financial relationship, paid collaboration, etc.).
  • Recommendations do not guarantee coverage, publication, or a feature.
