Design email campaigns with your brand and clearer details
Your campaign emails keep the button sizing, typography and image transparency you choose. Connected assistants can prepare reusable brand themes and campaign images through the marketing tools, ready for your review.
ExpandedMarketing teams
Prepare a campaign with your own brand theme
Connected assistants can create or update a reusable brand theme, bring in your images and apply the theme to a campaign draft. You can review the draft and its intended recipients before choosing to send it.
QualityMarketing teams
Keep your email's spacing, buttons and transparent logos
Campaign emails preserve authored button dimensions and typography, with buttons that fit smaller screens. Transparent PNG logos keep their transparent background, and text spacing follows your draft more closely.

Read campaign footer links on dark backgrounds
Sender details and footer links use colors that remain readable on your chosen background. A single platform attribution links to Crafted Call and Granite Logic alongside your sender details and unsubscribe link.
Product announcement
Review jury results by artist, preview call letters, and share richer gallery images
Review saved jury results by artist and see which submissions sit at the cutoff. Decision-letter previews can use a call's real details, submission exports include more useful fields, and campaign cards and gallery images show more of your work.
ExpandedCall admins
Review saved jury results by artist
Switch the Results view between a table, gallery and artist groups. See scores, recorded decisions and submissions tied at the cutoff, and choose whether the gallery shows artwork images. Your selected round, search and filters carry across views.
ExpandedCall admins
Preview decision letters with your call's details
Choose a call in the organization template editor to fill previews and test copies with its dates, venue, drop-off and pickup details. When no compatible call is selected, a labelled sample call supplies the example details.
ExpandedCall admins
Export image links and more artist details
Submission CSV exports include the artist's website, file counts and links to every image. Staff with access to jury results also receive the average score and number of reviews. Existing columns keep their positions for your saved spreadsheets.
ExpandedMarketing teams
Send campaign cards with clearer event details
Event and class cards show their times, prices and every day of a multi-day event. Artwork cards credit the artist and link to the work, exhibition cards lead with artwork from the show, and card descriptions keep their paragraphs. Buttons remain visible in dark mode.
ExpandedGallery admins
Show complete artwork images and sold labels
Your gallery homepage shows complete posters and artwork images while keeping their height comfortable to browse. Sold works in the exhibition strip carry a red Sold indicator.
QualityEveryone
Quality work across jury images and security information
Larger jury galleries load artwork with less server work. A new Security page brings together information on hosting, backups, card payments and how to report a security concern.
Product announcement
Group juror entries by artist and queue large artist messages
Jurors can see an artist's submissions together, and Grid View loads images with less server work. Larger messages to artists and event registrants prepare in the background so you can keep working.
ExpandedJury teams
See each artist's submissions together while jurying
Switch the review page to Group by Artist to see an artist's submissions together with your scores. Blind review keeps the artist's identity hidden. You can return to an individual submission to review it.
ExpandedJury teams
Browse jury thumbnails with less waiting
Grid View loads submission images faster and puts less load on the server while a round's thumbnails arrive. You can keep using the existing review controls while artwork loads.
ExpandedGallery admins
Keep working while larger artist messages prepare
Larger messages to a call's artists or an event's registrants queue in the background. The Communication Audit lists queued messages alongside sent ones, so you can see what is waiting to go out.
Product announcement
Send messages to entrants right away, hold artwork for 5 minutes at checkout, and show Cheque in Australia
Messages to a call's entrants, an event's registrants and an exhibition's artists now go out right away, and only newsletters count against your monthly allowance. When a buyer starts paying for a piece online it is held for 5 minutes, so an abandoned checkout never keeps a work off sale for long.
LaunchedRental administrators
Choose who manages your rentals
Owners can name a Rentals team under Rentals, Settings. Owners and the people on the team manage spaces, applications and agreements and receive rental application emails, and other admins no longer see rental records. Until you name a team, only owners have rental access.
ExpandedGallery admins
Send messages to entrants and registrants right away
Messages you send to a call's entrants, an event's registrants or an exhibition's artists, and emails you schedule, go out right away. They no longer wait for next month when your newsletter allowance is used up, because only newsletters count against it. Decision letters, agreements and receipts are never held.
ExpandedGallery staff
Keep artwork available when a buyer walks away
When a buyer starts paying for a piece online, it is held for 5 minutes instead of 30, and the buyer can release it at once with Cancel. The next person to scan the label can buy it as soon as the hold ends. If a payment arrives after the hold, the buyer gets the piece if it is still available, or an automatic refund.
ExpandedGallery admins
Show Cheque as a payment method in Australia and New Zealand
Payment method lists, receipts, invoices, membership payment history and payout emails say Cheque for organisations in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the UK, and Check in the US and Canada. Your recorded payments are unchanged.
QualityVolunteer coordinators
Keep volunteer shifts private until a call is published
Drop-off and pickup shifts for a call stay off your volunteer sign-up pages while the call is a draft. If you remove a drop-off window, volunteers who had signed up for it are told by email and in their notifications.
QualityEvent organizers
See the true net on event ticket sales
Event ticket payments now record the card processing fee, so the Fee Breakdown and payout reconciliation show what your organization actually receives for new event sales. Admin pages and jury image views also load faster.
Product announcement
Bring jurors back to skipped entries, see artwork larger in Quick View, and record order pickups
Jurors who pass over an entry are brought back to it before they finish, and their progress only reads complete when every entry is scored. Quick View shows each artwork nearly full-screen, and marking an order picked up now records the pickup and tells the buyer.
ExpandedJury teams
Bring jurors back to the entries they passed over
When a juror reaches the end of the list with entries still unscored, they are taken back to them with a notice saying how many are left, and each save moves on to the next entry that still needs a score. Progress reads 99% until every entry is scored, so nobody finishes one short. Jurors scoring quickly are no longer asked to slow down.
ExpandedCall admins
Review submissions with a nearly full-screen Quick View
Quick View on the submissions page shows the artwork nearly full-screen, with the artist's details and actions in a column beside it, so you can judge each piece without opening it separately. Stepping to the next submission and opening the full-size view are faster too.
ExpandedGallery staff
Mark an order picked up and tell the buyer it was collected
When you mark a pickup order as picked up, the order keeps its pickup details and records when it was collected. The buyer's email says the order was picked up. Orders you ship still say delivered.
QualityEvent organizers
Confirm paid event bookings in Australia right away
For organizations in Australia, a paid event or class booking is confirmed when the buyer's payment completes, so your attendee list and the buyer's confirmation agree. Organizations in other countries see no change.
Product announcement
Choose who gets rental notifications, and show drop-off dates and opening hours that read clearly
You can now choose which owners and admins are emailed about studio and space rentals. Drop-off and pickup windows that cover whole days show as plain dates, and opening hours beyond this week follow your regular weekly hours.
ExpandedRental administrators
Choose who receives rental notifications
Under Rentals, Settings, Rental Notifications, pick which owners and admins are emailed about rental applications, tenant messages, maintenance requests and agreement notices. Until you pick someone, these emails go to the organization's owner only.
ExpandedVolunteer coordinators
Show drop-off and pickup days as plain dates
A drop-off or pickup window that covers whole days now shows as a date or a date range, on volunteer pages, call pages and the emails that mention it. Windows you set are saved on your gallery's clock, so they read the same for everyone. Shifts with set hours still show their start and end times.
ExpandedGallery admins
Show your regular hours beyond this week's special hours
When your Google listing has special hours this week, days further ahead on your public pages follow your regular weekly hours. Galleries in Australia and New Zealand see the right day's hours on the days the clocks change.
QualityEveryone
Quality work across search, wishlists and locations
Public search lists accepted artwork once the organization has announced its decisions, and a collector's wishlist shows a digital artwork's watermarked preview. This release also carries security and reliability improvements.
