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.
