13 Artist WordPress Themes That Are Mobile Responsive With Built-In Portfolios

If you’re an artist looking for a mobile responsive WordPress theme with an awesome design and built-in portfolio to showcase your work, these 15 themes are perfect for the job.

They all have high ratings and come from reliable developers. This is important because you DON’T want your theme to get abandoned and crap out on you. This can happen on sites like ThemeForest which is why I recommend choosing artist themes with high ratings and sales.

You should really be investing in a premium theme since paid developers are more likely to take care of their theme (so it won’t get discontinued and crap out on you). That’s why these are all premium WordPress artist themes from solid developers. Leave a comment if you need help!

 

1. Divi

Elegant Themes is an excellent place for creatives to get an artist theme. Elegant Themes has been around for a very long time and is highly regarded in the WordPress community. With a theme membership, you receive Divi, the multipurpose flagship theme, along with access to premium social sharing and optin form plugins. Plus, the Divi Builder plugin, built into all 100+ of Divi’s pre-designed templates makes building a site easy thanks to its drag and drop interface. Enjoy over 40 website elements, responsive design, unlimited color options, and of course beautiful portfolios to showcase your best work.

2. Core

The Core theme lets users slide through your artwork from left to right. Comes with 2 skins (black and white) which you can view in the navigation menu along with multiple homepage layouts, portfolio layouts, and shortcodes. Core was developed by a Power Elite Author from ThemeForest which basically means the theme’s coding and support should be very good.

Artday is an exceptional artist WordPress theme that even comes with WooCommerce online store functionality. It comes with built-in layered popups, stunning parallax effects, and Google Fonts for the added branding and visual appeal.

4. Studio Box

Studio Box is the same theme I used for tracyostmann.com. It features a unique slider with optional descriptions for your art and a 3 column layout below it. Multiple portfolio and gallery layouts, as well as an integrated blog. This WordPress theme was VERY easy to work with and as long as you like the design, I highly recommend it. I believe the only reason it doesn’t have great ratings is because it wasn’t updated for awhile, but it HAS been updated!
