Which artists do I find here?

In the Artists area you will find all artists registered at ARTDOXA (set that at least one piece of work has been uploaded).

When you first enter the Artist area, you see the preselection „Featured“. What other selection criteria there are and how to filter your displayed content, you can find out here.

I registered, but I can’t find myself in the „Artist“ area. Why?

In order to become visible in the Artists area, you have to upload at least one picture.

How can I upload pictures?

After login, go to the MyDoxa area. Click the „Upload Art“ button. There are two possibilities now, depending on whether you have installed the Flash-plugin Version X.X or higher.

If you have installed the flash player: Click on the ‘Select files’ button. A window will appear with which you can browse your computer and select the all the files you wish to upload. You don’t have to upload each file individually – save some time and mark as many pictures as you wish to upload. Then confirm your selection and check all the files in the upload window again. If you are ready to upload, click on the ‘Upload’ button. A Status bar will inform you about the progress of the upload. Once the upload has finished (depending on the size and the amount of your material, this may take a while!) you’ll find yourself in the Upload Box. Here you can add all the relevant information to your pictures.

If you haven’t got Flash: You can either download the Plugin for Free at Adobe or use our old-school tool (it’s great, too…!) which will automatically show up as soon as your browser hasn’t detected the required Flash plugin: Now Choose between 1 and 10 pictures (if you want to upload even more at a time, just click the „upload another picture“ button – repeat as desired) and click „Save“. Once the upload has finished (depending on the size and the amount of your material, this may take a while!) you’ll find yourself in the Upload Box. Here you can add all the relevant information to your pictures.

Can I assign the same information to more than one picture at a time?

After uploading your pictures, you can edit them in the Upload Box before publishing the pictures. Here you can add redundant information by simply entering the information in one field and then click on „for all“. This actually saves a lot of time!

How many pictures can I upload?

Don’t worry about that, you can upload as many pictures as you want.

What are the criteria by which I can sort/ filter artists?

ARTISTS
You can search content in the areas “Artists” by many different aspects. Here they are one by one:

Most recent – The title says it all – here you will find the latest artists and artworks

Most favourite – This is being derived by the accumulated number of people who added an artwork as a favourite.

Most commented – Discussion is important, especially with art issues. Here you can locate the artists and artworks that got the most feedback.

ARTWORKS
You can search content in the areas “Artworks” by many different aspects. Here they are one by one:

Most recent – The title says it all – here you will find the latest artists and artworks

Most favourite – This is being derived by the accumulated number of people who added an artwork as a favourite.

Most commented – Discussion is important, especially with art issues. Here you can locate the artists and artworks that got the most feedback.

Period – Sustainability vs. Hype, all the above mentioned criteria can additionally be linked with a time filter. Preset is month, but you can sort the results by week or alltime.

How do I find out more about an artist?

To find out more about an artist, click on his buddy icon or his name. To access an artists catalogues right away, please click the preview pics next to the artists buddy icon in the Artists area. Here you can also jump directly to the artist’s portfolio, his favourites or his profile.

How can I contact another artist?

The simplest way of getting in touch with each other is by writing a comment. In case a more private kind of communication is desired, you can also write personal messages to other members – you have to be registered and logged in and the desired recipient has to be a confirmed contact of yours.

So if you have a concrete issue, send your contact request to the member by clicking the button „add to my contacts“ and entering a small note for the recipient, explaining your reason for contacting him or her.

How can I comment on an artwork?

In order to be able to comment on artwork, you have to be an ARTDOXA member. If you’re not, sign up for free now!
Once you’re logged in, you will find a box for comments under each artwork, exhibition and forum contribution. Enter your comment and post it by clicking the „send“ button.

Hint: In the MyDoxa area you will not only find new comments on your own artwork, but also the comments you posted yourself. This can be very useful in order to keep track of reactions on your comments. Simply set the desired filter in the ‘Recent Activities’ column.

What’s the story of the little preview pictures in the artist list?

These tiny preview pictures are thumbnails of catalogues compiled by the artist. The first picture always leads to the artist’s portfolio; the following ones will lead to catalogues.

How can I enlarge a picture?

In the artist´s portfolio you see thumbnails of the original pictures. By clicking on a thumbnail a larger version of the image will be displayed.

If you want to see the picture even larger, click the ‘Zoom In’ button on the left side of the picture.
