2. Apply for an Artist Profile
If you are a creator, we highly encourage you to apply for an Artist Profile to take advantage of our full suite of offerings that have been specially designed to help you monetize and get more eyes on your work.
Applying for an Artist Profile takes no more than 5-10 minutes. You'll be invited to share a brief bio, links to your other social media platforms, and to upload an existing piece of your work to start building your Portfolio.
3. Wait to be accepted
In order to keep our platform safe from bad actors, all applications undergo review by our HUG community prior to publication. It takes no longer than 2 business days for an application to be reviewed. In the meantime, you can track the status of your application by logging into your HUG Account.
Once the application has been approved, your Artist Profile will be published, and you will receive additional instructions with how to customize it and unlock new opportunities with HUG.
4. Start customizing your Artist Profile!
Your Artist Profile serves as your calling card and a personal website for you as a creative. For additional instructions on how to customize it, check out our detailed walkthrough with accompanying screenshots.
