Artist Archiving Workshop: One Database, Everything Organized
Most artists end up with their work information scattered everywhere—spreadsheets, folders, subscription services that cost too much and do too little. This workshop demonstrates a different approach: integrating archival management directly into your website’s database.
What you’ll see:
- How a system that generates your public website can also handle artwork tracking, sales records, and exhibition history
- Dynamic page generation for collectors and galleries (no more manually creating PDFs)
- Private access controls—show different content to different people
- Exhibition and press documentation that connects to your artwork records
- Contact management that ties to transactions, interactions and collaborations
Why this matters: Whether you’re just starting to get organized or you’re tired of paying monthly fees for platforms that don’t quite fit how you work, having your archive integrated with your website means updating once instead of maintaining separate systems.
This is primarily a demonstration—you’ll see the backend functionality that typically stays hidden, and how it connects to what visitors see on the front end. But you’ll have the opportunity to contribute and you can ask questions.
Best suited for: Artists who want to see practical archiving in action, whether you’re starting from scratch or reconsidering your current setup. Also good for people newly handling the estates of deceased artists.
