Institutions running programs on Artsume
Stop losing the artists you reviewed
Most galleries lose track of artists the moment a show closes. Applicants, finalists and studio-visit notes disappear into folders.
The old way
Scattered PDFs across email and cloud
Submission files live in email threads, Dropbox folders and Drive, split across staff inboxes.
Broken portfolio links
Expired Dropbox URLs, password-protected Vimeos, compressed images you can't evaluate. The record falls apart before the show opens.
No shared gallery memory
Considered artists, studio-visit notes and shortlisted work disappear when a show closes. Staff turnover erases what took years to build.
The Artsume way
One curated gallery network
Open call applicants, group show participants, studio visits. Every artist you've engaged lives in one network that belongs to your gallery.
Every artist stays in the record
Chosen or not, every artist who engaged with your gallery stays tagged and searchable for the next show.
Shared institutional memory
The network survives staff turnover. Your gallery's artist relationships persist across exhibitions and directors.
One network, built show by show
Open call, exhibition, staying in touch afterwards. It all feeds the same record, and the record gets more useful with every show.
Curated gallery network
Build a living network of every artist your gallery has engaged. Every submission, every show, every studio visit adds to the same shared record.
Multi-show continuity
Artist relationships persist across exhibitions. The network grows stronger with every open call and group show you run.
Reusable artist record
Every artist who engaged with your gallery stays bookmarked, whether you reviewed, exhibited or earmarked them. Find them again for the next program.

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 on Artsume Network, so your whole team can review together from day one. Blind review, custom scoring rubrics, and reviewer pools are part of Artsume Intelligence ($79/month billed annually, or $129/month monthly) when you want advanced evaluation tools.
How much does Artsume cost for galleries?
Getting started is free with Artsume Network: unlimited programs, submissions, and team members, plus your artist network and simple reviews. Artsume Intelligence ($79/month billed annually, or $129/month monthly) adds advanced blind review, custom scoring rubrics, reporting, and written artist overviews.
