If you've been invited to participate in a featured event, you'll receive an invitation to join the event page on Cohart. You can accept the invitation and choose which information you'd like to feature, all from your Cohart dashboard.
Getting Started
Create Your Cohart Account
If you don't already have a Cohart account, create one and complete your profile.
You can create a free Cohart profile to be listed as an exhibitor in an event. Once your profile is created, the event organizer can invite you as a listed exhibitor.
Accept Your Invitation
You can accept your invitation either:
- Directly from the email invitation you receive, or
- From your Events dashboard by clicking Accept to Exhibit under the relevant event.
Once you've accepted the invitation, you'll be able to access the event anytime from your Events dashboard.
Adding Artwork to the Event
Upload Your Inventory
Go to Inventory → + Upload Artwork to create artwork listings.
Uploading artwork is optional, but it gives collectors an additional way to discover your work before, during, and after the event. You can upload only the works you want to showcase; you don't need to upload your entire inventory.
Select Artworks for the Event
Once you've accepted the invitation:
- Go to the event in your Cohart dashboard.
- View the Artworks to Exhibit box.
- Click Manage.
- Select the artworks you'd like to include.
Your selected artworks will appear under the event's Exhibitors and Artworks tab.
You can return to the event and add or remove artworks at any time.
If the event also has a Cohart-powered digital storefront, your selected artworks will also appear on the public storefront under Artworks.
Cohart-Powered Digital Storefronts
Some fairs partner with Cohart to create a dedicated digital storefront for their event. This is separate from the standard Cohart event page and is available specifically for fairs participating in a Cohart partnership.
The storefront acts as an online extension of the physical fair, allowing collectors to browse participating exhibitors and selected artworks before, during, and after the event.

Getting Your Work on the Digital Storefront
If your fair has a Cohart-powered digital storefront, you'll need to complete the following:
1. Create your Cohart account
If you don't already have one, create your account and complete your profile.
2. Upload your fair inventory
Add the artworks you plan to bring to the fair.
3. Accept the storefront invitation
Look for your invitation under Events to join the fair's Cohart storefront and accept it.
4. Select your artworks
Go to Artworks to Exhibit → Manage and choose the works you'd like to feature.
Once selected, your artworks will appear on the Cohart event page and the public fair storefront.
Your digital storefront is specific to the fair, while your Cohart profile and inventory remain yours to use after the event.
💡 If you are a fair or organization interested in creating a digital storefront for your event, email shyevin@cohart.com or learn more at Creating and Managing Events on Cohart.
More Ways to Get Visibility
Your event participation can also be a starting point for building your presence on Cohart beyond the event itself.
Depending on your Cohart plan and setup, you can:
- Share your Cohart profile and Link-in-Bio
- Feature selected works on Cohart Discover
- Use CocoAI to help collectors discover your work
- Create Private Views for individual collectors
- Manage your collector contacts in Contact Management
- Continue sharing your inventory after the event
The event may only last a few days, but your Cohart profile, inventory, and collector relationships can continue working for you long after it ends.
Frequently Asked Questions
I received an invitation but haven't created a Cohart account yet. What should I do?
Create your Cohart account and complete your profile first. Once your account is active, you can accept the event invitation.
I've accepted the invitation. Why don't I see my artworks?
Accepting an invitation does not automatically add your inventory to the event. First, you need to create artwork listings on your own profile in your Inventory dashboard. Once your listings are live, go to Events → [Your Event] → Artworks to Exhibit → Manage and select the artworks you'd like to feature.
Can I change my selected artworks?
Yes. You can return to the event at any time to add or remove artworks. Go to Events → [Your Event] → Artworks to Exhibit → Manage and update your selection.
Do I have to upload my entire inventory?
No. Upload and select only the artworks you'd like to feature for the event. If preferred, you can add additional listings to your own profile but not feature them specifically on the event page.
Will my artworks remain on Cohart after the event ends?
Yes. Your Cohart profile and inventory remain available after the event. If you're participating in a Cohart-powered digital storefront, your selected artworks will also remain visible there according to the event's storefront settings.
You can remove artworks from an event at any time by going to Events → [Your Event] → Artworks to Exhibit → Manage.
I want to create a Cohart event myself. How do I get started?
Visit your Event tab to create an event. You can learn more at Creating and Managing Events on Cohart.
I have a Cohart profile, but I haven't been invited to exhibit yet. What should I do?
If you don't see Accept as Exhibitor under the event in your Events dashboard, the event organizer may not have invited you yet. Please email hello@cohart.com, and our team can check with the event organizer and help determine whether an invitation can be sent.
