Updating your artist statement and resume

Your artist statement and resume are saved to your profile and shared across all your applications on EntryThingy. Here's how to update them.

How to update your statement or resume

Go to Edit Profile
Scroll down to the Artist Information section
Edit your Artist Statement or Resume/CV text
Click Save Changes

That's it! Your updated statement and resume will be used for any future applications.

Resume: text or PDF

You have two options for your resume:

Text resume: Type or paste your resume directly into the text field
PDF upload: Upload a formatted resume as a PDF (max 10 MB)

You can use either or both — the PDF option is great if you have a nicely formatted resume you'd like to share as-is.

What's the difference between profile fields and application fields?

This is a common point of confusion. Here's how it breaks down:

Saved to your profile (shared across all applications)

These live on your profile page and carry over to every call you apply to:

Artist statement
Resume/CV
Name, email, phone, address
Website, Instagram, custom links

Specific to each application

These are filled out fresh for each call and may vary depending on what the gallery asks for:

Description of Work
Category/Discipline
How did you hear about this opportunity?
Image use permission
Custom questions (set by each gallery)

Will updating my statement change past applications?

Yes. Your artist statement and resume are pulled live from your profile — they're not a snapshot from when you submitted. If you update your statement today, every gallery reviewing your applications (past and future) will see the new version. This means you can fix typos or improve your statement at any time without needing to contact anyone.

Other profile fields you can update

While you're at Edit Profile, you can also update:

Personal info: name, email, phone, business name, partner name
Address: street, city, state, ZIP, country
Links: website URL, Instagram handle, and two custom links (for your portfolio, shop, or other sites)
