Why Online Portfolios Are Crucial For Artists

The online portfolio is essential for the artist/author to carefully document and curate their works online. Even as a preliminary effort towards seeking gallery representation. Like many other genres such as music and writing. Online resources exhibit how the work is received publicly. Thus elevating the artist to the global stage and making them more desirable to galleries and other exhibition spaces (i.e. in callous business terms "a market and demand have already been established"). If the artist wants to be free of representation and the constraints of conformist traditions. The chaos and order of the web yields access, mobility and empowerment to those willing to do the work.
