  The Card helps you present your work clearly, share easily and stay connected after real life meetings, exhibitions, studio visits, art fairs and other events.

  Keep your Card updated with recent works, projects and links. The clearer your Card is, the easier it is for people to understand, remember and support your practice. Add your Card to your mobile wallet so you can share it quickly during in-person meetings, studio visits, exhibitions and art fairs.

Place it near your works, on labels or printed materials, so visitors have one clear place to access your practice and revisit it after the event.
