For Curators

ArtRabbit has created a place for you to promote your events and exhibitions, connect with other art professionals, and build a follower base of ArtRabbit users.

You’ve worked so hard to put together the perfect show, and now you want the whole world to see. We want that too, and we’ll help you get there.

Curator Checklist

Make the most of ArtRabbit and be sure to do all of the following:

Sign up for an account ✔️

Sign up here, or find out more about us here.

Read our Community Guidelines ✔️

Our Community Guidelines are an important code of conduct for maintaining a safe, useful and welcoming platform for all.

List your events and organisations ✔️

You can list upcoming, current and even past events on ArtRabbit. While listing your events functions as a powerful marketing tool, it can also act as a handy digital portfolio of your shows.

Have an event you want the world to know about? List the event here. If the organisation or venue where your event is being held is not on ArtRabbit, list the venue here.

If your event is taking place in London, the UK, Berlin, or New York, (more locations to come!) we’ll include them in our weekly location-specific newsletters.

We also publish seasonal editorial picks of our favourite shows, which will be highlighted on our app, through our website, and through our social feeds. Every listed exhibition is considered, no matter how small, so make sure your events and exhibitions are on the ArtRabbit platform.

Add yourself as a curator ✔️

When listing events, be sure to add yourself as a curator under the “Extras” heading. If your name on your user account is the same as your curator name, simply type your name in the “Curator” field, and your name will pop up. Click “Relate”, and the event will now appear on your curator profile page.

Add online events ✔️

You can add online events either from an organisation page or from "Add an Event" in the main menu.

To add online events from an organisation, select "Online", then fill out the details as you would normally. To add online events from the main menu, select "Online", then either continue as the host or find the organisation that is hosting the event. If the organisation doesn't appear in the dropdown, you can add the new organisation to ArtRabbit, then create the online event. Fill out the details as you would normally, and publish the event. Be sure to add instructions on how to join the event, even if it's simply opening up a website.

Boost your events ✔️

Looking to get more traffic through your doors and more buzz about your events? You can now boost your events to get them listed on our city-specific featured list of exhibitions and events.

Add calls to action ✔️

If you’re looking to direct audiences to a website where you sell tickets, memberships, books, prints etc, or even if you’re not selling anything, you can add up to three Calls-to-Action on your event page to prompt page visitors to click through to your site.

Link to and promote your ArtRabbit profile with our logos and badges ✔️

To help you link to and promote your ArtRabbit profile, we have created badges you can add to your website or online portfolio. Don’t underestimate the influence you have over your own network: by directing more traffic to your ArtRabbit profile, you’ll be able to reap the benefits of our targeted emails as well as the upcoming and suggested events function. More information about ArtRabbit logos and badges here.

Subscribe to our newsletters ✔️

Newsletters go out every Wednesday and cover new exhibitions and events for eight consecutive days. Find out what other curators are coming up with in London, throughout the UK, Berlin or New York and be in the know. You can subscribe to the ArtRabbit newsletters here.

Check for or List ArtOpps ✔️
