[01] Definition

What is this program?

The Pro Republic Artists Program is a professional portfolio system designed as real working infrastructure.

Each portfolio is conceived as a strategic tool that can support the artist over many years: applications, residencies, grants, galleries, institutions, and clients.

Disambiguation

  • It is not a course.
  • It is not a template.
  • It is not a quick website.

The program operates through:

+ Professional production + Long-term continuity + Solid technical structure + Curatorial selection

Funding Model

Transparency. No hidden fees. Shared Infrastructure.

How it works

The real value of a professional portfolio produced by the studio is $1,800. As part of its strategic model, Pro Republic subsidizes up to 80% of that cost.

The artist covers the remaining 20%, which corresponds to the operational costs required to keep the portfolio active and functional over time.

NOTE: This contribution is not a fee paid to the studio. It is an investment in the artist's own professional infrastructure.
Market Value $1,800
Subsidy (80%) -$1,440
Artist Contribution (Year 2+)
$300 / Year

(Or $30 / month)

Year 1: The 20% contribution is covered in full during onboarding.

⚠️ This is not a "free website." It is a subsidized professional portfolio supported by shared infrastructure costs.

Annual Membership

The membership covers the base infrastructure required for the portfolio to operate in a stable and professional manner.

Custom Domain ($20-$30 range)
High-Performance Server
Enterprise Hosting
SSL Security Certificate
Base Technical Maintenance

Content Updates Logic

One of the most common problems in artists' websites is that they are never updated. Our membership includes one annual update (up to 3 artworks).

Additional updates? Managed through credits.

Extra Credit System (Optional)

1 Credit: $50 3 Credits: $120 5 Credits: $150

1 Credit ≈ 1 Artwork Update (10-15 imgs)
