Handle Thousands of Applications. Coordinate Vendors. Run Seamless Events.
From artist submissions to booth assignments, Artsumé gives festival organizers the tools to manage high-volume applications and complex logistics without the chaos.
Festival Management Shouldn't Mean Festival Mayhem
When you're processing hundreds or thousands of applications, generic tools break down. You need software built for scale.
The Old Way
Drowning in Applications
Peak submission periods crash your inbox. Sorting through hundreds of applications manually means missed deadlines and overwhelmed staff.
Spreadsheet Booth Management
Tracking booth assignments, sizes, pricing, and waitlists across multiple spreadsheets leads to double-bookings and confused vendors.
Last-Minute Logistics Fires
When details live in email threads, important logistics get lost. Artists show up without knowing their booth location or setup times.
The Artsumé Way
Built for Scale

Visual Booth Management
Configure booth types, track assignments, and manage waitlists. Artists see exactly what they're applying for upfront.
Logistics in One Place
Setup times, load-in details, and booth assignments all communicated automatically. No more last-minute confusion.
