From studio to exhibition, and back again

ArtPortico is organized around how work moves through exhibitions — not how software stores data.

Your work, over time

Your work isn’t a list — it’s a body of work that changes as it moves through exhibitions.ArtPortico keeps a continuous record of each piece so you don’t have to reconstruct its history later.

  • Basic details you already track (title, size, medium, year)
  • Images attached to the work itself
  • Pricing recorded as it changes
  • Past exhibitions kept with the work

Exhibitions are treated as real places

A show isn’t a date — it’s a temporary location where work leaves the studio and eventually returns.ArtPortico tracks that movement so nothing is guessed or duplicated.

  • Assign work to an exhibition
  • Create packing lists for check-in
  • Track what leaves the studio
  • Confirm what returns after the show

After the show

When a show ends, you shouldn’t have to rely on memory, emails, or photos of price tags.ArtPortico helps you confirm what sold and what came back — and updates your records accordingly.

Labels and exhibition documents

Create the documents you actually need to prepare and close out a show.

  • Wall labels
  • Packing lists
  • Exhibition summaries

Created from the same records you use to prepare the show.
