You Manage Your Portfolio
It's easy for you to manage your portfolio. With your subscription to Artists' ShowCase Online you can have up to 45 images in your portfolio. You can change images at your discretion. When you upload new images, they are first previewed by the Center and then released to your portfolio. New images are released within 48 hours - usually within 1 hour if during working hours. The preview process is to avoid the insertion of blatant pornographic or inappropriate images. This review is for the protection of all artists exhibiting their portfolios and the Center. Once images are approved, you can manage them within your portfolio without further interaction with the Center.
