How to become a publisher on Artinfoland

Hi welcome to Artinfoland platform

Artinfoland is an artist-run platform that connects organizations with global artists by allowing you to publish open calls for exhibitions, residencies, grants, and more. To fully utilize the platform as an organization, you can create a free publisher account, which involves signing up, verifying your email, and submitting a form with your organization’s details for approval. Once approved, you’ll gain access to sections for publishing and managing content. Note that while submitting individual open calls can be done via email without a publisher account, having one provides a dedicated profile and streamlined management.

Step 1: Register for an Account

Visit https://artinfoland.com/register/ to create a new account. Fill in your email address and password, and optionally subscribe to the newsletter for updates. You can also continue with Google for faster signup. After submitting, you’ll receive a verification email.

Membership is free for basic access, but publisher accounts for organizations are also free and offer additional features like a profile in the organizations directory (if available).

Step 2: Verify Your Email

Check your inbox for an email from Artinfoland titled “Verify Your Email.” Click the “Verify Email” button or copy-paste the provided link into your browser to activate your account. This step is required to log in and access publisher features.

If you don’t see the email, check your spam folder or request a resend via the website.

Step 3: Log In and Navigate to Become a Publisher

Once verified, log in at https://artinfoland.com/my-account/. From the dashboard menu, select “Be a Publisher.” This section allows you to upgrade your account to a publisher status by filling out a form with your organization’s information. The page welcomes you and explains that after review and approval, you’ll have access to publish content.

Step 4: Fill Out the Publisher Form

Provide detailed information about your organization in the form. This helps Artinfoland verify and showcase your profile accurately.

Step 5: Await Approval

Expect a response from Artinfoland within a few business days. Once approved as a publisher, you can create and manage open calls directly through your account, potentially with a dedicated organization profile for better visibility.

Step 6: Access the Publish Section

After approval, navigate to the “Publish” section from your dashboard. You’ll see a welcome message: “Welcome to the Publish section! Here you can manage your publishing activities.” Buttons allow you to “Publish an Opportunity” or “Publish an Event.” Click “Publish an Opportunity” to start creating an open call.

Step 7: Create and Edit Your Opportunity

You’ll be taken to the opportunity editor, which uses a WordPress-like block editor. Start by adding a title in the “Add title” field. Use the “+” button to add blocks for content, such as paragraphs, images, or videos. A welcome popup may appear explaining that each paragraph, image, or video is a distinct “block” of content—click “Next” to proceed.

In the editor, include a comprehensive description following these guidelines:

• Organizer Information: A brief background about the hosting organization.
• Title & Description: A clear and concise summary of the opportunity (e.g., purpose, theme, what artists will create or experience).
• Category: Specify the medium or discipline (e.g., Visual Art, Performance, Photography, Textile Art).
• Eligibility: Who can apply? (e.g., International, National, Female Artists, LGBTQ+ Artists, Emerging Artists).
• Location: Where the opportunity will take place (e.g., city/country or “Online”).
• Key Dates: Submission deadline and other timelines (e.g., announcement, event dates).
• Application Fee: Any entry costs and payment details.
• Awards & Benefits: What artists gain (e.g., cash prizes, exhibitions, residencies, mentorship).
• Contact Information: Website, email, social media.
• Additional Details: Submission format, jury process, travel requirements.

On the right sidebar, under “Opportunity”:

• Select Types (e.g., Artist Talk, Accommodation, Art Fair, Artist Fee, Award/Prize, Biennial, Certificate).
• Choose Categories, Locations, and Eligibility from dropdowns.

Under “Opportunities” tabs:

• General: Start Date and End Date (use the calendar picker).

Choose Organization page to Show your open call in your page

Contact: Address, Postcode, Phone Number, Email.

Fee: Entry Fee, Participate Fee, Currency.

Save as draft periodically using “Save Draft.”

Step 8: Review and Submit for Review

Once your content is complete, preview it to ensure everything looks correct. Click “Submit for Review” in the top right. Artinfoland will review the submission for quality, transparency, and ethical standards before publishing. Expect confirmation within 3-5 business days. If changes are needed, you can edit from your dashboard.

Step 9: Check the Status of Your Submitted Opportunity

After submitting for review, go to your admin dashboard at https://artinfoland.com/wp-admin/ and click “Opportunities” in the left sidebar menu.

This page lists all your opportunities with details like Title, Types, Categories, Locations, Eligibility, Date (last modified), Author, and Deadline. Check the status (e.g., Pending, Published, Draft) next to the title. You can use filters for All, Mine, Published, Drafts, Pending, or Trash, and apply bulk actions if needed.

If your submission is still pending, wait for Artinfoland’s review (typically 1-3 business days). Once approved, the status will change to Published.

Alternative: Email Submission for Open Calls

If you’re not yet approved as a publisher or prefer email, compile the details listed in Step 7 and send to Collab@Artinfoland.com with the subject “Open Call Submission – [Your Opportunity Name].”
