New feature alert: a seamless, all-in-one platform for arts administrators
Managing calls for entry has long been a challenge for arts administrators, requiring them to juggle multiple tools, track submissions manually, and piece together workflows across different platforms. Existing solutions are often expensive, outdated, and cumbersome—creating unnecessary barriers for organizations handling artist submissions.
That’s why Artwork Archive is thrilled to introduce our groundbreaking Call for Entry Management Solution—the first platform to combine comprehensive collection management with seamless call for entry capabilities.
Why We Built This Solution
From our conversations with arts organizations, we heard time and time again that managing calls for entry is one of the most time-consuming and fragmented tasks in their workflow.
-
Arts administrators often have to switch between multiple platforms—one for receiving submissions, another for tracking applications, and yet another for managing collections.
-
Many existing solutions are costly, outdated, and difficult to use, leading to frustration and inefficiencies.
-
Manual processes increase administrative burdens, making it harder to track submissions, communicate with applicants, and organize selection processes.
-
Complicated applications can be challenging for artists leading to considerable time spent on the phone or over email walking through applicants through the process
Our goal was simple: streamline the entire call for entry process into a single, easy-to-use, and affordable platform that works seamlessly within an arts organization’s existing workflow.
