Artworks

Updated

Overview

Artworks are the works the gallery and single-artwork blocks display. Each one has a title, an image gallery, links to up to three artists, catalog Information, and optional Categories. Create them under Artworks → Add New Artwork.

The editor shows the artwork's page as visitors will see it: the images beside the title, artists and information. Click Edit on a part to change it in a pop-up. The Artwork panel in the sidebar lists the same parts. Revisions are on. There's no built-in artworks archive page, so put an Artwork Gallery or Artwork block on a page.

Fields

Each part of the page has an Edit button:

  • Title — name of the work, typed at the top of the editor
  • Images — photos of the work, in order; the first one shows in galleries and large at the top of the artwork's page. Add images picks from the Media Library; the arrows reorder and the cross removes. The first image is also the artwork's featured image: link previews when the page is shared, site search results and Hero blocks use it. To change it, change the first image.
  • Artists — up to three linked artists (Artist, Artist 2, Artist 3)
  • Details
    • Date — a year or date, shown in galleries and on the artwork's page
    • Medium — materials (for example, Oil On Canvas)
    • Dimensions — size text
    • Copyright — optional copyright line; galleries can show it, the artwork's page doesn't
  • Description — longer copy for the artwork's page and the Artwork block
  • On View
    • On View — when on, shows an “On View” badge (wording uses Gallery Name from Artworks → Settings when set)
    • On View Location — where the work is displayed
  • Credit — credit line
  • Categories (sidebar) — used when an Artwork Gallery is set to By Category

Editor basics

  • Editor: the page preview with Edit buttons. The page shows only these fields, so there's no space for other blocks.
  • No archive page: use blocks on a page
  • URL slug: artwork

Tips

  • Add at least one image before you place the work in a gallery.
  • Link the primary artist in the first Artist field.
  • Turn on On View only for works currently on display.
