Art galleries and exhibitions: show the work, sell the work, grow the list.

Yes — a gallery can publish exhibition pages, sell originals and prints online and in person through Stripe, ticket openings at a flat $1, give each artist a profile, and grow a collector mailing list, all from one platform.

A gallery is a program, not a page. A show goes up, an opening happens, work sells, and the people who came are the people you want at the next one. Most website tools stop at the page.

Key takeaways

  • Build exhibition and artist pages that look like your program, not a template.
  • Sell originals, editions, and prints through your own Stripe account — online and at the desk.
  • Ticket openings and talks at a flat $1 per paid ticket, with check-in at the door.
  • Every buyer and RSVP becomes a collector record in your CRM and mailing list. Tmbr Studio is $99/month, two months free annually.

How do you show a program, not just a website?

Each exhibition gets its own page: the works, the prices, the artist's statement and bio, the dates, and the opening. Artist profiles carry a maker's story and links into the show, so the work arrives with its context instead of as a bare image.

  • Exhibition pages with works, prices, and dates
  • Artist profiles with bio, statement, and links
  • A storefront for originals, editions, and prints
  • Openings and talks ticketed at a flat $1
  • A collector CRM and newsletter that remember every buyer and RSVP

How does selling the work actually run?

Sales go through your own Stripe account — online for prints and editions, or at the desk during the show. When a piece sells, the collector is on your list for the next opening, instead of being a stranger you hope comes back.
