Each Edition Starts From a Blank Spreadsheet
Most festivals rebuild their applicant list every year — last edition's lineup, exhibitor contacts, and attendee artists all disappear into static spreadsheets the day the festival ends.
The Old Way
Lineup Spreadsheets That Freeze at Edition Close
Every year's artist list lives in a separate file that goes cold the moment the festival ends. There's no way to see who applied across editions or invite the right artists back.
Exhibitor Contacts Scattered Across Years
Vendor and exhibitor records are split across email threads, booth-assignment sheets, and per-year exports — impossible to reference when planning the next edition.
No Multi-Year View of the Festival's Artist Community
Without a longitudinal record, you can't see which artists have applied three years running, who performed well with audiences, or how the community has grown.
The Artsume Way
One Multi-Year Festival Artist Network
Every applicant, exhibitor, and participant rolls into a single growing network. Edition two starts from where edition one left off — not a blank spreadsheet.
Exhibitor + Applicant + Attendee Continuity
Contacts from every role — exhibitor, accepted artist, waitlisted applicant — persist across editions. One record per artist, every interaction recorded.
Multi-Edition Reporting
Compare applicant volume, acceptance rates, and artist engagement across years. Your data compounds; your planning improves every cycle.
