Artist collectives: shared studios, shows, and a website that's actually yours.
Yes — an artist collective can manage shared studio and equipment bookings, collect member dues, give every artist a profile, publish group exhibitions, and ticket openings at a flat $1 per paid ticket (free events are free), all from one platform the collective owns together.
A collective is a lot of people sharing one space, one calendar, and one reputation. The admin of who has the studio Thursday, who paid their dues, and whose work is in the next show usually falls on whoever volunteered last.
Key takeaways
- Shared studio, equipment, and space booking that respects each member''s access.
- Recurring member dues and one-off space rentals billed through your own Stripe account.
- A profile for every artist — bio, statement, links — that feeds into group shows.
- Ticket openings at a flat $1 per paid ticket; free events are free. From $39/month, two months free annually.
How do you share one space without the spreadsheet?
Each member books the studio, the print room, or the kiln against the access their membership grants, so the calendar resolves itself instead of living in a group chat. New members flow straight into billing, the directory, and the newsletter.
- Studio, equipment, and room booking with per-member access

How do group shows and openings run?
Build an exhibition page that pulls each participating artist''s profile and work, sell or list pieces through your own Stripe account, and ticket the opening at a flat $1 per paid ticket — with free RSVPs costing nothing. Every attendee lands in the collective''s CRM and mailing list.
Tmbr Studio: $99/month for the collective. Shared booking, dues, artist profiles, exhibitions, a storefront, ticketing, a website, and a newsletter in one place — owned by the group, not rented from five tools. Two months free when you pay annually.
