Product announcement

Comp artists by email, sell at the front desk, and see one owed-to-artists figure

A broad round of fixes from a review of every part of Crafted Call. Comp any artist by email, give volunteers a Front Desk role for check-in and the event door, and record desk sales with an Undo. Payouts, Finance and artist Earnings now agree on what you owe your artists, and events, volunteers, rentals, memberships and marketing email are steadier.

LaunchedGallery admins

Comp any artist by email

Give free submissions to anyone by typing their email address in Artist Credits. If they already have an account the credit lands right away and they are told; if not, it waits and is theirs when they first sign in with that address. Comps are limited to 20 an hour per organization.

LaunchedGallery admins

Run the front desk with its own role, sales and Undo

The Front Desk role lets a volunteer or staff member check work in and out, record a sale at the listed price, and run the event door, without seeing the rest of your admin. A mistaken check-in or pickup can be undone, and the work goes back to exactly where it was.

LaunchedExhibition teams

Put a QR code on your custom labels

Place a QR code anywhere on a custom label, size it from its corner, and preview the label as it prints in your chosen font. Each printed label's code opens that artwork's page, where a visitor can buy it.

ExpandedGallery admins

See one owed-to-artists figure everywhere

Artist Payouts, Commissions, the show report, Finance and each artist's Earnings now use the same figure, including works placed directly in a show. Record the date you paid by check, export QuickBooks journals that keep your Stripe transfers, and refund a submission fee with wording written for artists. If you sell work placed directly in a show, your Owed to Artists total is now higher than before; those sales are still paid from the exhibition's payouts.

ExpandedEveryone

Steadier submissions, events, rentals, memberships and calls

Add Another Submission keeps the work you just finished, and your dashboard offers Continue Submission on drafts. Choose whether an event asks for age and medical notes, and free events register without Stripe. Invite-only volunteer programs review Ask to Join requests, ending a lease cancels only future charges, and you can record dues paid by cash or check. Duplicating an older call gives it future dates, and you can change your web address or hand over ownership yourself.

ExpandedGallery admins

Marketing Hub sends reach exactly who you reviewed

The audience you review before sending now matches who receives it, honouring campaign type, engagement and each subscriber's topic and frequency choices. A send the server refuses says why, a bounce pause stops only newsletters and can be resumed from the hub, reports count unsubscribes and failures correctly, and automation steps never send an empty email.

ExpandedJury chairs and jurors

Run your jury from open to letters with fewer surprises

A round stays open while entries are still arriving, and moving the entry deadline moves the round with it. Letters wait for the date you promised, go one per artist listing every entry, and a bounced letter is flagged to resend. You're emailed when a juror declines, and jurors never lose a score saved offline.

Product announcement

Work in a cleaner, more colorful Crafted Call, choose jurors for each round, and reopen closed calls

Every page is redrawn around your gallery's work, with one clear button for what to do next, color that flags what needs you, and cards for short lists. Pick which jurors review each round, let jurors score in one tap on a phone or iPad, reopen a closed call from its Submissions page, and publish events with one clear button. Artists are paid on the price each work sold at and get fewer repeat emails, and the Custom Website setup is now $299, free when you choose Premier billed yearly.

LaunchedEveryone

Work in a cleaner, more colorful Crafted Call

Every page is redrawn to put your gallery's work first. Each screen has one filled button for the most important step and a visible button for each row's main action, and color now flags what needs you, with overdue items marked in amber with a clock. Short lists such as your catalog, exhibition spaces, signup forms and call templates show as cards.

LaunchedCall admins

Choose each round's jurors and score in one tap

Pick which of your call's jurors review a round in its Ready to Open preview, and choose what happens to works tied at the cutoff: advance them all, advance none, or pick them when you close the round. Jurors score 1 to 5 with one tap on a phone or iPad, every round shows the date scoring actually stops, and Juror Mode lets you walk through the jury as your juror will before you invite anyone. When you send decisions, the dialog names any works still undecided, and Set the Rest to Decline waits until you have accepted something.

LaunchedCall admins

Reopen a closed call from its Submissions page

The Call Actions menu on the Submissions page reopens a closed call and pauses or resumes an open one. When you move a closed call's deadline later, the editor offers to reopen submissions right away.

ExpandedEvent organizers

Publish events in one click and copy them onto new dates

A clear Publish button puts an event live. Ask Frida to copy an event onto a new date for the next run of a program, or to add sessions to a multi-week class, and she links you straight to the result. Search boxes across your admin lists keep pace with fast typing.

ExpandedExhibition teams

Pay artists on the sold price and extend their agreements

Payouts, sale emails and payment reminders use the wall price each sale was marked at, and your gallery's artwork page shows the price checkout charges. Extend an artist agreement's deadline and send it again, and exhibitions stay listed as current through their closing day, with wall-label QR codes opening each work's own page. Staff with the Programming or Exhibition Manager role can add works from inventory, import a CSV and install works. In the Inventory V2 pilot, a work that never arrives can leave with Remove from Show, and cancelling a show frees its works.

NoteGallery owners

Custom Website setup is now $299, free with yearly Premier

Setting up a Custom Website now costs $299 once, and the setup is free when you choose Premier billed yearly. The new price applies to new customers. The pricing page also starts from what you need: check the tools you want, see which plans include them, and estimate a year on each plan.

NoteGallery admins

Volunteers with Programming access can work on your calls

A volunteer you give Programming access can now open and edit your calls and see the Jury list. Submission rosters, notes and email stay with your staff.

QualityEveryone

Fewer repeat emails, and fixes across payments and forms

Artists get one Deadline Extended email a day and only while they still have a draft, a single reminder the day before a deadline, and no repeated confirmation attempts to an address that bounced. Receipts, order totals and refund limits show your gallery's currency, and pages no longer hang on Loading when a request is refused. Adding a subscriber explains itself when someone is already on your list, scheduled campaigns keep their send time, and on an annual plan your email campaign allowance resets every month. Public forms accept a click as soon as the page is ready, imported events show their cover photos to every visitor, and the next artist on a waitlist receives their acceptance letter when a place opens.

Product announcement

Review exhibition labels and exports for a whole call, offer your own medium terms, and a calmer jury

Correct what your wall labels and exports say for a whole call from one page, give artists your own medium terms as they enter work, and let your admins do almost everything an owner can. Jury review is calmer and clearer from the first score to the results, and event, class and membership sign-ups on your craftedcall.com address go straight through to payment.

LaunchedCall admins

Correct label and export text for a whole call

A new Labels & Export Review page on each call lists every piece your labels and exports include, with its photo beside its text. You can correct a piece's title, medium, size, artist name and wall text without changing what the artist submitted, and admins can update prices from the same page. Squarespace exports, the CSV Description and exhibition label sizes use what you corrected.

LaunchedGallery admins

Offer artists your own medium terms

Set your organization's medium suggestions in your settings, one term per line, and artists see your terms as they type a medium. The standard list now includes Archival Pigment Print, Gelatin Silver Print, C-Print, Lithograph and other common gallery terms. What an artist types is always kept as they typed it.

ExpandedGallery owners

Let your admins do almost everything an owner can

Organization admins can now manage tax settings, your logo, integrations, API keys and the roles of staff below admin, and can view Plan & Billing. Only an owner can delete the organization, cancel or change the subscription, connect the payout account, export all of your data or transfer ownership.

ExpandedCall admins

Run a calmer jury, from the first score to the results

Jurors see each piece's size in every view, read Artist 1 and Artist 2 in place of codes, and move between works with the arrow keys after saving. Your jury pages agree on where the jury stands, Results opens on the round you scored, and Advance appears once there is a next round and submissions have closed. Finishing a round early asks first, and Mark Decisions Sent waits for your notification date.

ExpandedPilot galleries

Set up Inventory V2 entry groups on their own page

On Inventory V2 calls, entry groups have their own page, each group a collapsible card with a plain summary of its limits, so Edit Call is much shorter. Squarespace export lists each piece for sale as its own product, works staff enter for an artist appear as pieces for labels, jurying and drop-off, and artists print one back label for each accepted piece. Galleries outside the Inventory V2 pilot see no change.

QualityEvent organizers

Take sign-ups on your craftedcall.com address

Event, class and membership sign-ups on your gallery's own craftedcall.com address go straight through to payment, and waitlist claim links open on your custom domain. A buyer who steps out of checkout can start again right away, desk bookings hold their seats, and virtual attendees receive their join link.

QualityMarketing teams

Welcome emails send exactly the content you write

Custom welcome emails arrive with the subject and content you write. A/B tests mail the rest of your list after 24 hours, campaign reports cover every send, and a subscriber you delete permanently stays deleted through later imports and syncs.

QualityEveryone

Quality work across admin pages, checkout and exports

Admin pages such as submission details, the calls list and event details load faster, and status labels, dates and amounts read as plain words in your time zone and currency. Artists can pay a single entry whenever the cart would take it, exported image links keep working, and paged lists show every item exactly once. Merging duplicate artist accounts keeps every submission and artwork, and receipts and notices from card payments retry on their own until they are sent.

Product announcement

Jury a call for art while it is still open, ask event registrants your own questions, and take rent by card outside the US

Your jurors can start scoring the day you open a round, and decision letters go out only when you send them. Events can ask registrants your own questions, artists can add several artworks from one pick, and tenants outside the US can pay rent by card. Inventory V2 is rolling out to pilot galleries, alongside improvements across exhibitions, marketing email, classes, payments and sign-in.

LaunchedCall admins

Score submissions while your call is still open

Jurors can start scoring as soon as you open a round, even while your call is still taking submissions. Late submissions, including free and fee-waived ones, and jurors who accept later join the open round on their own, and your call moves into jury review when submissions close. Triage notes save with each vote, and a Yes or No in triage records the juror's view while the decision stays yours.

LaunchedEvent organizers

Ask registrants your own questions

Add your own questions to an event's signup: short or long text, a dropdown, choices, a checkbox, a date, a number or a link. Answers show on the event's Registration tab and as their own columns in the CSV export, so you no longer read them out of a notes field.

LaunchedPilot galleries

Inventory V2 is rolling out to pilot galleries

Galleries in the Inventory V2 pilot can run a whole call from its screens: check works in, decide each piece, show and sell them, refund register sales and pay consignors. Each piece gets its own export row and wall label, and new calls start in Inventory V2 automatically. Galleries outside the pilot see no change.

ExpandedRental administrators

Take rent by card outside the US

Tenants outside the US can pay rent by card: the card form appears, 3D Secure checks complete, and a declined card can be swapped for another on the spot. Tenants can turn on autopay from their rental portal once a bank is linked, and renewing a lease keeps its tenants, bank, autopay and terms without billing the deposit again. US leases are billed from the day they start.

ExpandedArtists

Add several artworks from one pick

When you pick several images in Add Artwork, you can say whether they are photos of one artwork or separate artworks. You can add up to five separate artworks in one go, each with its own title.

NoteCall admins

Decision letters go out only when you send them

Changing a submission's status no longer emails the artist. Decision letters go out when you send them, a letter you hold back stays held until you change that decision, and you can resend a letter. Acceptance letters on pay-on-acceptance calls always carry the pay button.

NoteGallery admins

The payments CSV now matches your Payments page

The payments CSV's Net Amount now deducts fees, so it matches Net to Gallery on the Payments page. Its Call Title column is now Call / Event, and event registration rows show the buyer and the event instead of N/A.

QualityEveryone

Quality work across classes, exhibitions, email and payments

One class registration covers every session, and check-in, My Classes, emails, calendar files and refunds follow the class's real sessions. You can mark batch payouts paid, wall-label QR codes open the right show, including labels already printed, and floor-plan edits keep every move. Large lists send in minutes, and open rates leave out Apple Mail's automatic opens. A card the payment processor turns down releases the cart at once, you can download a call activation's receipt from the Payments page, and public artwork images load at the size of the screen. Donors, event guests and volunteers who never set a password can set one by email.
