Built for Gallery Directors
Replace the Spreadsheets. Retire the Workarounds.
Crafted Call gives art organizations a single platform for calls for artists, jury review, virtual exhibitions, artwork sales, email campaigns, and reporting. Stop paying CaFE's fees. Stop losing hours to admin work. Start running your gallery the way you always meant to.
The Problem
Running a gallery is hard enough.
Your software shouldn't make it harder.
Gallery directors tell us the same things over and over. Here's what they're dealing with before switching to Crafted Call.
CaFE Costs Add Up Fast
$225 to onboard. $250 per call. $2.49 per submission. $120 per year just to renew. For a gallery running three calls with 200 submissions each, that's nearly $2,400 before a single artist is accepted.
Spreadsheets Doing the Heavy Lifting
You're tracking acceptances in Excel, logging jury scores in a shared Google Sheet, and emailing artists one by one. It works until it doesn't — and when a deadline hits, it really doesn't.
Too Many Disconnected Tools
Submission management in one app, email campaigns in another, exhibition photos on your website, and artwork sales through a third-party shop. Every tool means another login, another export, another manual step.
Admin Work That Crowds Out Curation
Your expertise is in art, not operations. But coordinating jury panels, chasing incomplete submissions, and generating reports for your board takes days every month — days you can't spend on what matters.
End-to-End Platform
Every stage of your gallery workflow, in one place.
From the moment you publish a call to the day commission checks go out, Crafted Call handles the whole lifecycle.

Call Management
Launch a Call in Minutes, Not Days
Build a call for artists with custom submission forms, file upload requirements, fee collection, eligibility criteria, and deadline reminders — all from a single configuration screen. Share the public link or embed it on your website. Crafted Call handles the intake so you can focus on curating.
Jury Review
Give Your Jurors a Better Experience
Invite jurors to score submissions in a focused, distraction-free interface. Side-by-side comparison mode lets jurors weigh two works directly against each other. Blind review hides artist names to reduce bias. Multi-round voting narrows the field progressively. Real-time scoring analytics show you exactly where consensus is forming — without a single spreadsheet.
Exhibitions & Artwork Sales
From Accepted to Exhibited to Sold
Turn your accepted submissions into a virtual exhibition with a single click. Visitors browse artwork, read artist statements, and can purchase pieces directly. Stripe Connect automatically splits payments between your gallery and the artist at whatever commission rate you set. No separate e-commerce tool, no manual payouts.
Email Campaigns & Reporting
Stay in Touch. Stay Informed.
Announce your calls, promote exhibitions, and keep your subscriber list engaged with a drag-and-drop email builder — all without leaving Crafted Call. Track open rates, clicks, and delivery directly from the same dashboard you use for everything else.
When it's time to report to your board, pull submission counts, revenue totals, payout history, and gallery activity from a single reporting screen. Export what you need in seconds.
