How to create an artist contact in WrkLst.
Why artists are created differently
An artist contact is the record that works are attached to, so it usually needs to exist before you can catalogue anything. If you are adding your first work, start here — see Creating New Artwork.
What hangs off an artist record
Beyond ordinary contact details, an artist record is the anchor for their works, and it is where biography material belongs. Biographies can be maintained in WrkLst and exported as documents or synchronised with your website, so a CV is updated once and is correct everywhere it appears.
