How to Use the Homepage Dashboard

Overview

Home is your signed-in dashboard and starting point in the sidebar, surfacing what is new and nearby in one place: open calls and opportunities, editorial, upcoming events, and artists near you.

• Who it’s for — every signed-in user, whether you sell art or collect it.
• What you see depends on your role — Open Calls & Opportunities appears for artist and gallery personas; collectors also get New Artworks From Users You Follow; Who’s Near You suggests artists in your country based on your browser location, with your profile country as the fallback.
• What it ends with — a newsletter signup and footer links to company, community, and policy pages.
• What you end up with — you will have opened Home, read each section in order, opened an opportunity card, and found the newsletter signup and footer links.

Before you start

• A Cohart account. Sign in with your email and password.
• A current profile location helps as a fallback for Who’s Near You. That section detects your country from your browser location first and falls back to your profile country. It suggests artists only (not galleries), and is hidden when no location can be determined.
• Nothing to buy or submit for the reading sections. Opportunity cards link out to their article or application pages, and the newsletter form only adds your email address to the mailing list.
• Effects to know — most of Home is read-only, but event cards are interactive: Going / Maybe / Not going RSVP and Invite write to your account, and the newsletter form subscribes your email.

Steps

1. Sign in to Cohart

Sign in with your email address and password, or use Google or Apple.

2. Open Home from the sidebar

After sign-in your landing page depends on your role — creators land on Inventory, collectors on Collector Overview, advisors on Invoices. In the left sidebar, click Home.

3. Read the Open Calls and Opportunities section

For artist and gallery personas, the first section is Open Calls & Opportunities (collectors start with News & Editorial instead). Cards name the call and its organizer — for example an open call from a gallery or fair. These are opportunities you can apply to or read about.

4. Open an opportunity card

Click a card to open its article or application page. If nothing happens, move your pointer over the card to reveal its link, then click it. Use the browser back button to return to Home.

5. See the full page layout

Scroll back to the top and look at the whole page.

• Artist and gallery personas — Open Calls & Opportunities, then News & Editorial, Upcoming Events, and Who’s Near You.
• Collectors — News & Editorial first, then also New Artworks From Users You Follow between Upcoming Events and Who’s Near You.

6. Read the News and Editorial section

The News & Editorial section shows cards with a section tag (for example Spotlight or Blog), the title, the author, the date, and the read time. Click any card to read the full piece. Editorial cards also appear under EDITORIAL.

7. Check Upcoming Events

The Upcoming Events section lists near-term events. When none exist it states: There is no event available at the moment. For the full catalog with filters, open EVENTS instead.

8. Check Who’s Near You

The Who’s Near You section suggests artists in your country, detected from your browser location with your profile country as a fallback. Keep your profile location current for better fallback results; the section is hidden when no location can be determined.

9. Sign up for the Cohart newsletter and find the footer links

In the footer, find SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER with the Subscribe button, plus link groups:

• Company — Pricing, About us, Contact us, Editorial.
• Join the Community — Onboarding Guides, For Sellers, For Buyers, Why Cohart.
• Policy & Guidelines — FAQs, Fair Guide, Community Guidelines, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy.
• STAY IN TOUCH and FIND US ON.

Tips

• The page ends with the footer. The newsletter signup and the © 2024 Cohart. All rights reserved line mark the bottom of the page — if sections seem to be missing, keep scrolling past the events block.

Troubleshooting

• Homepage shows an empty Upcoming Events section → it shows only near-term highlights → open the EVENTS catalog for everything.
• Who’s Near You is empty or missing → no country could be detected (browser location blocked and no profile country), or no artists were found in your country → allow location access in your browser, or set your profile country as the fallback.
