If you want to make a good resume for art, then you first have to understand that job resumes and portfolios are different things.

For many artists, their portfolio is 100% digital. When you go to an interview, come with a link to your portfolio that you can share with others. You may also want to have all of your work stored on your local hard drive in case your website crashes. If you have physical copies of your work in your art kit, bring those too.

However, you should also have a printable hardcopy of your resume that fits on a single page and includes the information below.

Name and Contact Information

It is one of the foremost sections that you must include in your art resume. This section should be at the top of the first page of your resume. Here, you need to add your name with a font size that is larger than the other information. After that, include your email address, mailing address, and phone number. If you have a website, add it to this section. It can be a website you operate, or someplace like ArtStation or DeviantArt. You should try to post your work to as many places as possible to help with exposure, and as a backup, in case one location becomes inaccessible during the interview.

Educational Qualification

Educational qualification is another important part of your art resume. After adding your name and contact information, add your academic degrees or honors that you have earned. If you don’t have a degree or have a degree that isn’t in art, make sure to include a list of workshops or online courses that you completed.

Bibliography / Experience

This is where you will showcase what you have done as an artist. This can be professional, freelance, or on a voluntary basis. If your artwork has been published or appeared somewhere professional, mention this information here.

List of Exhibitions

If you produce the type of artwork that is exhibited, mention it here, including the location, date, and purpose of the exhibit. If you want, you can divide the section into different categories such as solo shows, juried exhibitions, group shows, invitational exhibitions, and so on.

Professional Affiliations

If you belong to any local, regional, national, or professional organization, mention the name of those organizations in this section. If you worked as a volunteer or held any position in the organization, you should also mention that information here.

Work Experience

This is one of the most important sections. This is where you will add any work experience you may have. This can be professional, freelance, or voluntary work. Include the name and phone number of whom you worked for, your responsibilities, and the start and end date of your work.

Be completely honest while adding information to this section. Copying information incorrectly or lying on a resume is not a smart idea. Here is where you should include your experience teaching art, any sort of technical experience, lectures given by you, and so forth. If you have done any job that is irrelevant to your career as an artist, be careful about adding this information.
Be mindful that some artists have had success with longer resumes that include some creative flair, but just be warned that not everyone can pull it off. Let your separate portfolio speak for your creative abilities, and your resume speaks to your professionalism as a future worker. It is a smart idea to follow professional resume formatting tips, rather then going your own way and messing something up. Also have a few people spell check and review your resume to make sure it is perfect.
