I thought it was the other way around, with width being listed first.
Why is it that WIDTH x HEIGHT is so commonly used when describing visual media, instead of HEIGHT x WIDTH? When I hear or see “5 x 7” or “16 x 20” or “11 x 17” I am definitely thinking “portrait” / “vertical” orientation, and same with aspect ratios–16:9 is how widescreen TV is listed (WIDTH:HEIGHT not height:width)

Marie: Just follow the credit line I have outlined here. You give them the print and the credit line together. Bare minimum would be ©Your Name, Artwork Title. They may have a different format, but that info needs to be there.]]> In reply to Marie Stephens.

The year in which it was created. That's always the © date. Many artists don't use that in their credit lines, but this is where you would put it if you're publishing online.]]> In reply to Betty De Oliveira.

©Year, Artist’s Name, Title of Work in Italics. Medium/technique, dimensions (H x W x D).

Is the year the year when the work was created or 2021?

Website should be up next week.

Thanks for all the tips

When posting about an exhibit you are in, put the name of the gallery, the address, town/city, state along with the date and time of the opening. Artists post about getting ready for an exhibit, but don’t share the important information of who/what/where/when–the basics of any announcement or PR that folks who might attend your exhibit would like to know.
