Practical guides for galleries, studios, and dealers

How to read these

Pick the workflow you are about to do badly. If you are a week out from Frieze, start with Art fair inventory prep and the multi-location guide. If you just signed three new artists, read Consignment management and the Artist database guide before the contracts are countersigned.

If you are evaluating Art.industries against a tool you already use, the comparison pages are blunt about where each side wins. The pricing page lays out what is included on Core, Advanced, and Max so you do not have to read three guides to find out which plan covers email campaigns.

The guides assume you know the terms of art (consignor, registrar, COA, ATA carnet, viewing room, condition report). If you want a vocabulary primer, start with How to catalogue artwork professionally and the linked operational guides will make sense from there.

Where to start by role

Galleries hiring their first registrar usually want the Inventory management and Exhibition management guides first. Solo artists scaling past 100 works should start with Software for artists and the Stripe payment links guide.

Advisors and secondary specialists tend to read CRM for art galleries and Private viewing rooms back to back, because that is the workflow that pays them.
