Choose exactly what becomes public. Your Athenaeum account is used to manage the listing, but the directory displays only the artist name and links you provide.
- State whether work is human-made, AI-assisted, AI-generated, or mixed.
- State commercial-rights terms before accepting a commission.
- Use a public portfolio or contact page instead of posting private details.
