In Member Central you have the option to connect with Guild members in the new Member Directory.

From here you can reach out to peers for advice, start networking groups, or discuss a pressing issue.
Find An Artist in the top navigation directs potential clients to your Guild portfolio. The Portfolio section features large member icons. We’ve added several ways for potential clients to find you: they can search by area of expertise or use the search tool to enter your name, location, or discipline (i.e., Illustrator).
If you had a portfolio on the old site
You will need to log into Member Central and navigate to Manage Your Profile and Portfolio to verify and publish your portfolio to make it live (all of your images are already there, but you need to log in and elect to show them). From here you can also elect to be included in the brand new Member Directory.
If you are setting up your portfolio for the first time
Log in to Member Central. Navigate to Manage Your Profile and Portfolio. Fill in your information. Upload your avatar and up to two images for Associates and nine for Professional members.
Size the avatar: 300px x 300px. Max file size 2mb.
Size the portfolio pieces: 800px wide. Max file size 8mb each image.
Lastly, we’ve made it easier for you and your friends to help improve the industry for all creatives by making it easier to join the Guild.
