# Add your first artwork

Your inventory is the foundation of everything in Nuri. Exhibitions, applications, and projects all draw from it. Start with one piece — you can always add more.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Inventory">
    Two ways to get there:

    * Click **New** on your Overview dashboard, then select **New artwork**
    * Or navigate to **Inventory** in the sidebar and click **New artwork**
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the artwork details">
    Fill in what you know. All fields can be edited later.

    * **Title:** The name of the work as it appears on your CV.
    * **Year:** The year completed (or started, for multi-year works).
    * **Medium:** The materials used (e.g., "Oil on linen", "Bronze, cast").
    * **Dimensions:** Width × Height × Depth in your preferred unit (e.g., 24 × 36 in).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload images">
    Upload high-resolution photos of the work. Nuri supports JPEG, PNG, and HEIC.

    For each image, select a tag before uploading — **Front View**, **Detail Shot**, **Installation**, or **Other**. This keeps your archive organized across multiple works.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the artwork">
    Click **Save Artwork**. The piece is now in your catalog and available to link to shows, projects, and applications.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Add at least three artworks before exploring the Listings. More inventory gives Nuri's AI better signal for matching you to opportunities.
