Click on the “login” button in the menu bar at the top of the page. Click on the link “Sign up as an artist”. Fill in the contact information - first name, last name, address, country, telephone number, email address and username for the IAR. (Please put no spaces between the numbers of the telephone). Press Submit.

Your username and password will be sent to the email address you provided. Go to your email address, collect your username and password and return to the login section of the IAR Gallery. Enter your username and password in the fields provided and press login. 

If you are already a Gallery Member, but have forgotten your password, simply enter your email address in the email box and click on the remind me button. Your password will be sent to you email address directly.

You will now see your individual login area. Only you, and the IAR administrator, have access to this area. No one else can enter information here. The first information on the page is the information already given by you. This information includes your First name, Last name, Subscription expiry date, address, country, telephone and email.

The second set of information is your contact information to be published online and available to any person that searches the IAR database. You can chose to be contacted in any way you wish – by post, phone, email, website, through a gallery – or not at all.

Finally there is your biographical information. Again, you can fill in only the fields you wish but obviously the more information the better. You can write as much text as you wish in each individual field. The headings are – Date of Birth, Classification, Website, Qualifications, Solo Exhibitions, Group Exhibitions, Awards, Press Coverage, Collections, Societies, Artists Skills. The ‘classification’ criteria is used by individuals who are searching the database for art using the search function of the IAR Gallery. When you have completed all the fields, please press the submit button at the bottom of the page.

To upload an image of the artist themselves, click on the Artist Portrait link at the top of the page. Click on the 'browse' button to find the image on your computer's C: drive and then click on 'upload'.

5. Create Gallery

At the top of the page, click on the text button marked ‘create gallery’ to upload images into your individual gallery.

You will be taken to the following page

Type in the information regarding the image: its title; select a medium from the drop down menu; if the picture is for sale click on price and submit the price; enter the picture’s dimensions; and its date of completion. The text related information is now complete.

To select the digital file to be uploaded to the IAR Gallery click on the BROWSE button.

This will open a dialogue box in which you must select the directory and folder where the image is stored on your computer. Select the image you wish to upload by double clicking on it. The file name and directory should now appear in the Image File box at the bottom of the main screen and the pop-up box will automatically disappear. To upload the image simply click on the upload button.

The image will then be uploaded from your computer to the IAR Gallery. Depending on the image size, and you internet connection speed, this can take between 5 and 30 seconds per image. Once the upload has been successfully completed, the image will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen. To upload the next image, click on the number 2 in the box at the top of the screen.

Repeat the steps as set out above.

Only .JPG format images are supported on the IAR Gallery.
