Getting started

Visit the Artworks demo to see Artists, Artwork Gallery, and Artwork blocks on a live page.

Create an artist

1. In the WordPress admin, go to Artists → Add New Artist
2. Type the artist's Name at the top
3. The editor shows the artist's page as visitors will see it. Click Edit on each part to fill it in: Photo, Details (nationality, birth and death), and Biography (the full biography and a one- or two-sentence Biography Excerpt)
4. Publish

The Artist panel in the sidebar lists the same parts, each with an Edit button.

Create an artwork

1. Go to Artworks → Add New Artwork
2. Type the title at the top
3. The editor shows the artwork's page as visitors will see it. Click Edit on each part to fill it in:
   • Images: add one or more from the Media Library and put them in order. The first is the large one.
   • Artists: up to three
   • Details: date, medium, dimensions and copyright
   • Description and Credit
   • On View: turn it on for works on display, and say where
4. Assign Categories in the sidebar if you will filter a gallery by category
5. Publish

The Artwork panel in the sidebar lists the same parts, each with an Edit button.

Build a page like the plugin demo

1. Edit a page and insert an Art Divider with a short headline (for example, Artists Block)
2. Insert the Artists block and pick the artists to feature
3. Add another divider, then an Artwork Gallery — choose Handpicked, By Category, or By Artist, and turn on the details you want (title, date, medium, on view)
4. Add a divider, then an Artwork block for a single long-form work

Tips

• Set Gallery Name under Artworks → Settings so “On View” badges can say “On View at {name}”.
• Use Artwork Gallery for grids; use Artwork when a visitor should read the full description beside the images.
• The Artist block shows one artist in a long-form layout; Artists shows a grid of several.
