Questions from institutions.
What happens to artists who applied but I didn't select?
They stay in your gallery network, reviewed and tagged, ready to consider for the next show. The record of every artist who engaged with your gallery survives long after the call closes.
How is this different from a gallery CRM?
Artists own and update their own profiles, so the record stays current without anyone on your side maintaining it. It's also built for the arts. The artist profile is the credential, with portfolio and exhibition history attached. And it works both ways. The artist gets a career identity they can take to other programs, and your gallery gets a relationship layer that grows with every show.
Can I track sales commissions through Artsume?
Yes. When creating exhibition programs, you can configure commission rates, flat fees, or no-sales arrangements. Artists see the terms during the application process.
What file formats can artists submit?
Artists can submit high-resolution images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF), videos (MP4, MOV), PDFs, and documents. Every submission arrives in a consistent, professional format for easy review.
Does Artsume support blind review?
Yes. Blind review hides identifying information from your team while they select, so they evaluate the work on merit. You control what's hidden: artist name, location, contact details, links, institution, references. Program leads, owners and admins keep full visibility, so they can still administer the call. Reviewer scores are governed separately. Set review visibility to blind until decisions are released. No one sees another reviewer's scores while the panel is in flight.
Can my team collaborate on reviewing submissions?
Yes. Unlimited team members are free, so your whole team can review together from day one. Blind review, custom scoring rubrics, and reviewer pools are part of Artsume Pro for organizations ($500 a year) when you want advanced evaluation tools.
How much does Artsume cost for galleries?
Getting started is free: unlimited programs, submissions, and team members, plus your artist network and simple reviews. Artsume Pro for organizations ($500 a year) adds recommended artists, invitations to artists you find on Artsume, applicant fit, one promotion for each paid year, blind reviews and juries, and reports. We only charge a 10% platform fee when you collect application payments through Stripe, and that 10% is all-in: Artsume covers the card processing, with no monthly minimum and no per-payout charge.
Do we still receive portfolio links that expire?
No. Artists submit from a profile they maintain, so the work opens from the record instead of a shared drive link.
What happens to our artist record when staff change?
It stays with the gallery. Studio-visit notes, shortlists and past applicants belong to the organization, not to one person's inbox.
