The artist CV convention

Exhibitions are listed most recent first with year, title, venue and city. Separate solo from group. Collections name institutions or 'private collections'. Awards, grants and residencies get their own section, then publications and press with outlet and date. Teaching and lectures follow if relevant. The Photography Resume uses the same structure with client work added. Commercial designers should use the Graphic Designer Resume instead. Artists applying for teaching posts need the Academic CV.

Format

No design elements; the work speaks elsewhere. Multi-page is fine for established artists; the two-page resume templates show consistent pagination. Other creative layouts are under creative and design examples.
