Our Mission

Making gallery management accessible and affordable for every art professional. We believe that powerful software should not require a six-figure budget. Whether you are a solo artist managing your own inventory or a multi-location gallery group, you deserve tools that are intuitive, beautiful, and effective — at a price that makes sense.

Our Vision

Empowering galleries of all sizes with enterprise-grade tools. We envision a world where technology amplifies the art experience rather than complicating it — where gallery owners spend less time on administration and more time on what matters: discovering artists, nurturing collectors, and building cultural communities.

Why Artfolio

The Problem We Solve

For decades, gallery management software has been dominated by a handful of legacy providers charging premium prices for outdated interfaces and fragmented toolsets. Galleries were forced to choose between expensive, enterprise-only platforms that required lengthy contracts and dedicated IT support, or cobbling together spreadsheets, email threads, and generic CRM tools never designed for the art world.

We saw galleries drowning in spreadsheet chaos — tracking inventory in Excel, managing collectors in Outlook, handling invoicing in QuickBooks, and creating viewing rooms through expensive third-party services. Every tool was disconnected. Every workflow was manual. And the cost of stitching it all together was staggering in both time and money.

Artfolio was born from a simple question: What if there was one platform that did everything a gallery needs, with a modern interface, AI-powered intelligence, and pricing that any gallery could afford?

That is exactly what we built. Artfolio combines artwork inventory management, a purpose-built CRM, a visual sales pipeline, invoicing, online viewing rooms, exhibition management, AI analysis, team permissions, and comprehensive reporting into a single, elegant platform. No add-on fees. No hidden costs. No multi-year contracts.

What Sets Us Apart

Key Differentiators

Four pillars that make Artfolio fundamentally different from every other gallery management platform.

AI-First Approach

Artfolio is the only gallery management platform with built-in AI artwork analysis. Upload an image and get instant detection of medium, style, color palette, mood, and smart tag suggestions. We are continuously investing in AI to automate the tedious parts of gallery management so you can focus on relationships and curation.

Painless Migration

Switching from ArtLogic, Artbutler, or spreadsheets? We handle the heavy lifting. Import your inventory via CSV, bring your contacts, and be operational the same day. No lengthy onboarding processes, no IT department required. Most galleries are up and running within a single afternoon.

Transparent Pricing

No hidden fees, no expensive add-ons, no multi-year contracts. Our pricing is simple: four tiers starting at From $49/month, with annual billing that saves you 2 months. Every feature listed on a plan is included. Viewing rooms, invoicing, and AI analysis are built in, not bolted on.

Data Ownership

Your data belongs to you, period. Export everything at any time to CSV, JSON, or PDF. No vendor lock-in, no data hostage situations. If you ever decide to leave Artfolio, you take all your data with you -- artworks, contacts, sales history, everything -- with no export fees.

Our Values

How We Build for Galleries

Principles that shape every feature, workflow, and support interaction.

Gallery-First Design

Every screen is designed around how galleries actually work -- not how software companies think they should. Consignment splits, edition tracking, provenance chains, and collector follow-ups are first-class features, not afterthoughts.

No Vendor Lock-in

Your gallery data is yours. Export everything anytime -- CSV, JSON, PDF. No exit fees, no data hostage situations. We earn your business every month, not through multi-year contracts.

Collector-Grade Privacy

Gallery data is sensitive -- collector identities, sale prices, consignment terms. We use row-level security, encrypted storage, and strict access controls. Your clients' information stays between you and them.

Weekly Improvements

We ship product updates every week based on real gallery feedback. New features, workflow refinements, and performance improvements -- because your needs evolve and your tools should keep up.
