Browsing artists and the Art Directory
ArtHelper has two public directories that help you find other artists and their work. The Artists directory shows the people. The Art directory shows the artwork. Both are open to anyone, signed in or not, and both are where collectors, gallerists, and fellow artists go to look around.
The Artists directory
The Artists directory lives at arthelper.com/artists. It’s a grid of artist cards — each card shows a name, a location, a short bio, and a few thumbnails of their recent work.
Open arthelper.com/artists.
Browse the grid. Each card is one artist.
Click any card to open that artist’s full profile.
Use the page numbers at the bottom to move through the directory.
Searching for a specific artist
Open arthelper.com/artists.
Type a name into the search box at the top.
The grid filters down to artists whose names match. Click a card to open their profile.
The “verified human” filter
ArtHelper takes the Human-Made Art badge seriously. The Artists directory has a switch at the top that controls whether you see only verified-human artists or everyone.
When the switch is on, you see only artists who have verified their work as human-made.
When the switch is off, you see all artists on the platform.
If you’re looking for collaborators, mentors, or potential collectors, leave the verified-human filter on. It’s the fastest way to find people running real, ongoing art practices on the platform.
The Art directory
The Art directory at arthelper.com/art is the same idea, but for artwork instead of artists. It’s a grid of pieces from across the platform — paintings, photographs, drawings, sculptures, mixed media — with the artist’s name under each.
Open arthelper.com/art.
Browse the grid of artwork.
Click any piece to open its detail page, which includes a title, description, and a link to the artist who made it.
The same human-verified switch is at the top — flip it off to see work from every artist on the platform.
How artists end up in the directories
Any artist with a public profile on ArtHelper is automatically listed in the Artists directory. Any uploaded artwork from a public profile is shown in the Art directory. You don’t need to apply, and there’s no waitlist.
What changes is the order and the verified-human filter. Artists who’ve completed their profiles (avatar, bio, artist statement, awards) and uploaded artwork consistently tend to appear higher in the grid.
Visiting an artist from their card
Click the artist’s card or name in either directory.
You land on their public profile.
From the profile, you can Follow them, send a connection request with Connect, or browse their work and read their About and Artist Statement pages.
Read more about following and connecting in the Connections, Network, and Messages guide.
What others can see
Both directories are completely public. Anyone — signed in or not — can browse, search, and click into any artist’s profile. Your work is being seen by people who aren’t on ArtHelper yet too. This is the point: the directory is part of how new collectors and fellow artists find you.
Common questions
How do I get the Human-Made badge?
Open your profile and look for the verification flow on the Edit Profile page. You’ll be asked for a short video or process shot that demonstrates your hand making the work. Read more in the Human-Made Art badge guide.
Can I remove myself from the directory?
The directory is built from public profiles. If you make your profile private (contact support to do this), you’ll be removed from both directories.
Why does the order change when I refresh?
The directory order is shuffled regularly so newer and less-seen artists get visibility too. If you want a particular artist, use search instead of scrolling.
Can I filter the Art directory by medium?
Not yet through the directory itself, but you can use community search to find work tagged with a specific medium or hashtag. Communities are organized by medium and theme, so joining a few of those is the best way to see a focused stream of one kind of work.
