Built for Gallery Directors
Host calls, review submissions, and publish the show from one workflow.
Crafted Call gives art organizations a clear path from setup to launch: build the call, collect artist submissions, invite jurors, send decisions, publish the exhibition, and track sales without stitching together spreadsheets and disconnected tools.
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.
Platform costs add up fast
Setup fees, annual renewals, per-call charges, and submission fees can make a simple open call hard to budget. Galleries should know the cost before they publish.
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.
This is the operational path your team uses inside Crafted Call: one sequence from call setup through jury decisions, installation, public promotion, sales, member relationships, and reporting.

Call Management
Set up the call without rebuilding the system
Build fixed-deadline, rolling, and application calls with custom forms, file requirements, fees and waivers, eligibility, and notifications. Brand & Identity keeps approved organization details nearby, late invitations support named replacements, and edit-conflict protection stops one administrator from silently overwriting another.
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
Move accepted submissions into exhibition planning with condition and custody records, Gallery Spaces, operational sheets, labels, websites, and point of sale. Orders, commission context, fulfillment, and payout details stay connected to the original artwork record.
Email Campaigns & Reporting
Stay in touch. Stay informed.
Marketing Hub's rebuilt campaign workspace includes version history, recipient preview, and send progress on eligible plans. Announce calls, promote exhibitions and events, and communicate with members without rebuilding the audience in another tool.
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.
Memberships, Events & Rentals
Keep the relationship after opening night
Membership standing and record links carry benefits into call and member-pricing workflows. Little Green Light membership sync can keep LGL-sourced standing aligned. Events, volunteers, and rental agreements give the rest of the organization's public programming a connected home, with plan and permission requirements applied where relevant.
