How to Sign Up and Join Cohart as an Artist, Gallery, or Collector
Overview
Creating a free Cohart account gives you the identity behind tickets, RSVPs, purchases, and organizer tools, so the platform can tie your activity — event attendance, orders, artwork, messages — to you and keep it retrievable across visits.
- Who it’s for — new users who do not have an account yet; if you already have one, sign in instead.
- What powers your account — the details you enter in the Sign up form, once verified: your profile, your dashboard, and every ticket or RSVP you make.
- How email sign-up works — activates the account through a confirmation link; until you click it, you cannot log in.
- How Google or Apple sign-up works — skips verification and signs you in immediately.
- What you end up with — a verified, active account you can log in to.
Before you start
- An email inbox you can access. Verification happens through a confirmation link sent to your address, so use an address you can open. If the email never arrives, check spam or click Resend on the Verify your email screen.
- Your FIRST NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS, and a PASSWORD of at least 6 characters ready. All three fields are required.
- The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy agreement checked. Read both documents via their links first — clicking SIGN UP with the box unchecked does not submit and shows the message “Please agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to continue.”
- Alternatively, a Google or Apple account. Sign up in one click under OR SIGN UP WITH instead of the email form; that needs the matching provider account.
- Google’s reCAPTCHA check allowed for the site (the badge in the bottom-right corner) — blocking it can break sign-up.
Signing up creates the account but leaves it inactive until you verify your email; only then does Login now → get you in.
Steps
1. Open Cohart and click Start Free
Open the Cohart website. Click Start Free in the top-right corner of the header.

2. Choose how to sign up
The Sign up page opens. You can sign up in one click with Google or Apple, or scroll to the form under OR SIGN UP WITH to use your email address. The steps below follow the email option.
If you already have an account, click Sign in at the bottom of the card instead.

3. Fill in your details and choose a password (at least 6 characters)
Enter your FIRST NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS, and PASSWORD. All three fields are required. Your password must be at least 6 characters, which is the only password rule at sign-up. Use the eye icon next to the password field to show what you typed.

4. Agree to the terms
Check the box next to I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Click either link to read the documents first.

5. Click SIGN UP
Click the blue SIGN UP button.

6. Verify your email
Cohart shows a Verify your email screen: “We’ve sent a confirmation link to your email address. Please verify your email to activate your Cohart account.” Open the email and click the confirmation link. Once verified, click Login now → on this screen to log in.

Tips
- Skip the form entirely with Google or Apple. Sign up in one click instead of using the email form under OR SIGN UP WITH.
- Use the eye icon next to the password field to show what you typed before submitting.
- Read before you agree. Click the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links to read the documents before checking the agreement box.
Troubleshooting
- Message “Password is too short! Minimum 6 characters” appears under the password field after you click SIGN UP → your password has fewer than 6 characters → enter a password with at least 6 characters and try again.
- Message “Email address already in use” appears → an account already exists for that address → click Sign in below the form (or Log In in the header) instead.
- Nothing happens when you click SIGN UP → the I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy box is unchecked, and the page shows a red message under the checkbox → check the box, then click SIGN UP again.
- Verification email never arrives → it may be in spam → check your spam folder for the confirmation email, then click Resend if it is not there.
- You cannot log in right after signing up → the account is not active until email verification → open the confirmation email, click the link, then click Login now →.
- Sign-up is blocked or the page misbehaves → your browser or an extension is blocking Google’s reCAPTCHA check (the badge in the bottom-right corner) → allow the check for the site before signing up.
