Stop waiting to make your portfolio.

Websites are expensive. But that shouldn’t get in the way of you growing your creative career. Host your portfolio for free on The Gaia Zine.

🌟 Why We Created Gaia Portfolios

We know that many young creatives can’t afford to pay for a website just to host their portfolios. At the same time, having only an Instagram page is no longer enough—schools, grants, jobs, and clients often expect you to share a professional link where your work is clearly organized.

Gaia Portfolios give you the best of both worlds:

✅ A free, beautifully designed online showcase you can share anywhere
✅ An easy way to keep your work up to date without the cost of your own domain
✅ The credibility of being part of an established creative publication

This program is part of our commitment to removing barriers and making professional opportunities accessible to all emerging artists.

🌟 What You Get

Your Gaia Portfolio includes:

✅ A custom portfolio page with a personal URL to share with colleges, collaborators, or clients
✅ Up to 10 examples of your work (writing, art, film)
✅ Your bio and social links
✅ Optional 20-minute Zoom consultation to help you plan and polish your showcase
✅ A guaranteed spotlight on our website, newsletter, or social media
✅ Unlimited updates—send us new work or edits anytime (with an 10-business-day turnaround)
✅ 6 months of guaranteed hosting as part of our pilot launch
