About the Sorrel template
Sorrel is an artist CV template with the quiet confidence of a gallery wall. Your name sits huge in Instrument Serif, then numbered sections carry your statement, solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, residencies and awards, and press. A soft stone sidebar on the right holds your contact details, education, collections, and the media you work in.
It follows the conventions galleries, residencies, and grant panels expect: exhibitions listed by title, venue, city, and year, newest first. Everything is real text, so it works in online applications, and the layout stays calm even as your list grows. US Letter and A4 versions, a matching cover letter for open calls and grants, and a references page are included.
Your purchase also includes a matching cover letter and a references page, built into the same document and styled to match this template exactly, so your whole application looks like it belongs together. Keep the pages you need and delete the rest.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an artist CV and a resume?+
An artist CV records your exhibitions, residencies, awards, collections, and press, not job duties. Sorrel puts exhibitions first, the way galleries and residency panels read them.
How should I list exhibitions?+
Newest first, split into solo and group shows, with the exhibition title, venue, city, and year. Add the curator when it adds weight. Sorrel's example entries follow that format.
Does this include a cover letter and references?+
Yes. Every template comes with a matching cover letter and a references page built into the same Google Doc as the resume, styled to match it exactly. They're included at no extra cost — just keep the pages you need and delete the rest before you export.
Are these templates ATS-friendly?+
Yes. Every BravoResume template is built on a clean document structure with standard section headings and fully selectable text, so applicant tracking systems parse your resume correctly instead of scrambling it.
How do I get my files after buying?+
Instantly. The moment your payment clears, we email you a link with your Google Docs template plus the Word- and Pages-compatible file. There's nothing to install and no account to set up.
Can I edit it in Microsoft Word or Apple Pages?+
Yes. Your download includes a .docx file that opens in Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, and most other word processors, right alongside the Google Docs version.
How long do I have access?+
Forever. Once you buy, the template is yours to use and reuse for every job application, with no subscription and no expiration date.
Do I have to pay extra for the fonts?+
No. Every font in the template is free, and the included Quick Start guide gives you direct install links so the layout looks exactly like the preview.
Can I get a refund?+
Because these are instant digital downloads, we generally can't offer refunds. But if anything is wrong with your files, email hello@bravoresume.com and we'll make it right.
