From dynamic online exhibitions to enhanced security and new collaborative tools, here’s how we made managing your art collection easier, thanks to your input.
Although we've said goodbye to 2021, Artwork Archive is proud of all the progress we made last year—with your help! Below is a recap of the most important new features we launched in 2021, many of which were developed directly from your feedback.
We want to ensure that you have all the tools necessary to continue reaching your goals—whether that means digitally cataloging your art collection for the first time, finding new ways to engage with your communities, or collaborating remotely with your team.
We've all become more reliant on technology over the past few years, and 2021 was no exception. That's why we set out to make our cloud-based platform even more streamlined, secure, and user-friendly than ever before.
You can now...
Reach Beyond Your Gallery Walls and Create More Access with Online Exhibitions
Create virtual exhibits and embed them into your website. Manage upcoming shows and archive past exhibitions.
Create online exhibitions directly from your Artwork Archive account. We made it easy for you to stand-up a show in no time. And, these exhibitions can be synced to your website—expanding your impact.
The Exhibitions tool also makes it simple to plan upcoming shows collaboratively—whether they're onsite, online or traveling. Keep track of artworks, contacts, deadlines, and important documents like loan agreements and exhibition checklists.
The future is bright, but don't lose sight of the wonderful shows you've produced in the past! Document historical exhibitions and preserve an archive of your organization's legacy.

Let Artwork Archive Artists Submit Artworks Directly into Your Account
Save yourself time and administrative tasks when running a call for art or organizing an exhibition with the Direct Upload tool.
Artists with Artwork Archive accounts can upload artworks directly into your Organization account (with your permission). This allows for effortless sharing of images & information between artists and the venues that exhibit and sell their art.
"One thing that we really love, especially for rotating exhibits, is the artist can upload their artworks and images to our Artwork Archive account. That saves a lot of time...This all had to be done in different forms before. Now it's in one place." – Jennifer Collins-Mancour, Visual Arts Coordinator for Arts & Health at Duke at Duke University Hospital
