Show Sales Metrics Added!

We've added a new feature that allows you to view sales metrics per show.

This is a great feature to have either during or after a show or art fair to determine what you've sold and the value of what you've sold.

Combine this with the overall sales metrics, and you have an insightful collection of stats regarding your sales velocity, popular items and more!

Artist Portfolios

We've added a new feature that allows you to display your profile and artwork publicly in our Artist's directory.

This is an optional feature that can be enabled under the "Public Portfolio" link in your studio.

This is a great feature for further publicizing your artwork on another platform.

If you are managing your art inventory on ArtPortico, this provides a real time view of what art you have, and makes it available for purchase by visitors to ArtPortico.

You can also select which works you want to appear in your profile by visiting the Artworks section in your ArtPortico studio, and setting your artwork to public or private.

We will continue to expand on this feature in the near future! Enjoy!

Art Calls!

We are happy to announce the addition of our Art Calls feed!

The art calls feed sources art calls and opportunities for artists from all of the popular art call services.


This provides a useful all-in-one resource for finding open calls of interest.

Even better, when you find a show that you are submitting to, you can easily add it to your list of shows in ArtPortico, simply by clicking a button!

We will have more exciting features related to art call management available soon!

Scan Features Launched!

We've launched a new scanning section, which allows you to easily scan artwork for location allocation, show reconciliation or to simply locate where an item is in your inventory.

If you are using our label feature, you have the option to add a QR code to your labels. This can be used with our scanning features to instantly identify a scanned piece of artwork, where it is, or to reconcile a show after the fact.

As an artist myself, the show reconciliation feature is simply amazing - if I am shipping art to a show, or doing an art fair and not keeping track of my sales real time (also a feature we offer) - I can scan my artwork after the show to determine what I have and what I have sold.

This simplifies art show and art fair management from what used to take hours, to simply minutes - scan, click a button - done!

Check it out - let us know what you think!

Limited Edition Support

One of our Artists recently suggested an improvement to our Artworks system -

The scenario - He had 250 limited edition prints - Adding 250 individual items and keeping track of the edition number is a daunting task -- not to mention keeping track of what has sold, and what is remaining...

Our solution - you can now quickly create numbered editions by using the "create limited edition series" feature. This quickly adds a series of numbered variants to your artwork.

Even cooler - if you are using our labelling feature, the edition number is automatically added to each label.

So simple. Thank you for the suggestion!

Thanks to the feedback from some of our artists, we have added additional enhancements to our label customization features.

You can now adjust the positioning, size, and format of elements on your labels. We've also expanded what can be added to your labels, including edition notes, and other artwork properties.

As someone that is printing labels for shows multiple times per year - this is a huge time saver and one of my favorite features of ArtPortico.

Check it out, enjoy! And thanks for the continued feedback!

ArtPortico is Live!

I'm excited to announce the launch of ArtPortico - the all in one solution for managing shows, inventory and sales for artists.

ArtPortico is designed to easily track and manage what artwork you have, where it is, and where it is going.

We've also made it exceptionally easy to create labels for sales, wall labels for shows and other elements that have been traditionally difficult to assemble prior to a show.

After the show, ArtPortico provides valueable sales data - what has sold, what your key price points are, and your most popular artworks.

Check it out - we would love your feedback!
