This may include a name or artist/artisan name, biography, profile image, artist statement, website and social media links, artwork or artisan design images, titles, descriptions, prices, and other information relating to their work.

Information submitted for publication as part of an artist or artisan profile, artwork, or artisan design is intended to be publicly accessible on ARTMODE.

The legal entitlement of a person to submit and offer a work or artisan design, and responsibility for the rights to submitted content, are governed by the ARTMODE Terms and Conditions.
