If you’re a working artist you’ve probably experienced the frustration that comes along with the business administration side of a successful art practice. Keeping track of your inventory, events, locations, contacts and expenses are the things that most artists have no trouble forgetting about when they’re in the studio doing what they love.
Don’t get me wrong, being known and well-connected with art professionals and gallerists is an honor and a privilege, and making a sale is a thrill — it’s the getting organized part that tends to become boresome, if not overwhelming, for many artists.
I recently became aware of a business software for artists called ArtistClerk. It’s a web-based application that’s been designed to streamline the administrative side of your art business. I like how ArtistClerk has a clear focus on easing the administrative burden of artists by making it easy to understand important things like:
Who has purchased the largest number of your artworks?
What size(s) of artwork are your best selling?
Where do you sell most of your pieces?
How much money have you spent on business expenses?
ArtistClerk is reasonably priced and has an experienced leadership team behind it with a track record of delivering on their promises. The software has been developed from the ground up by artists for artists, and it’s been tested by professional artists to ensure that it is user-friendly for everyone.
Here’s a link to a video introduction and demo for those interested in learning more. Feel free to leave a comment below to let me know what you think about what ArtistClerk is doing for artists.
