How ArtClub Works — Technical FAQ
Why we made particular decisions about discovery, images and artwork information.
Discovery
How does the homepage choose artworks?
The homepage selects participating artists randomly, then chooses an artwork from each. It shows up to 20 artworks to encourage discovery without ranking artists by popularity.
Artwork information
Why add optional artwork details?
A clear description and factual details help people understand artwork and can improve relevant search and machine-readable descriptions. They do not guarantee search ranking.
What is an artwork usage policy?
Artists can record their preferences and declarations about how their work may be used. A policy communicates those preferences, but it cannot technically prevent all copying or override applicable law.
Images
Does ArtClub store print-ready originals?
No. Artwork uploads are processed into resolution-limited web versions and the temporary high-resolution upload is discarded after successful processing. Keep your original files yourself.
Structured data
What is structured data?
ArtClub publishes machine-readable information alongside public pages to help search tools understand artists and artworks. Being discoverable does not by itself grant permission to use an artwork for AI training.
