Artsume Services

Artsume finds the artists and runs the program.

Artsume sources the artists, runs the open call, puts your opportunity in front of the right people, and reports on what came of it. Tell us what you need and we scope it with you.

Artist Sourcing

Tell us who you are looking for. Artsume finds them.

For
  • a commission with a fixed brief and a deadline
  • a hotel, office or development that needs work made for the space
  • a festival or fair filling a lineup
  • a brand looking for an artist collaboration
  • a shortlist your jury needs candidates for

Managed Programs

Artsume runs your open call, award, commission, or program end to end.

For
  • a first open call with no staff to run it
  • an award or prize that needs a jury and a process
  • a public art commission from RFQ through selection
  • a residency cycle with more applications than reviewers
  • a program a partner funds and you deliver

Opportunity Distribution

Reach the artists most relevant to your opportunity.

For
  • an open call that closes soon and needs applicants
  • a program aimed at a discipline or region you do not reach
  • a first cycle with no mailing list behind it
  • a partner deliverable that promises a certain reach

Research & Impact

Understand the artists, communities, and careers connected to your organization.

For
  • a funder report on what a program did for the artists in it
  • a board that wants to know who applies and who does not
  • a field study of a discipline, city or region
  • an alumni survey you keep meaning to run

If you need one artist for one project, start with finding an artist for your project.
