Everything the business side of your art practice needs

ArtistOS replaces the spreadsheet, the notes app, the invoice tool and the Instagram DMs with one place built for working artists.

By Larry Jones, founder of ArtistOS · Updated September 24, 2026

ArtistOS is an all-in-one business platform for visual artists. It tracks your artwork inventory, writes gallery-ready descriptions and suggests prices with AI, generates commission and consignment contracts, sends invoices collectors can pay online, keeps your collector list, publishes your artist website and CV, and, on the Studio plan, finds grants and residencies you qualify for and drafts the application.

Artwork inventory and portfolio

Catalog every piece with title, medium, dimensions, year, price, status (available, sold, on consignment and more) and images. Filter and search your whole body of work, export a PDF catalog (Pro), and generate QR codes and certificates of authenticity for any piece. Your inventory powers everything else, so a sale, an invoice and a consignment all stay connected to the same artwork record.

AI descriptions and price suggestions

Enter a title, medium and size and ArtistOS writes a gallery-quality description you can edit in seconds. The price suggestion looks at your medium, dimensions and your own sales history to recommend a range, so pricing stops being a guess. The same AI writes your professional bio. AI tools are included on Pro and Studio.

Contracts

Generate commission, sales and consignment agreements with a live preview: scope, deposit, timeline, revisions, delivery, cancellation and reproduction rights. Download or print them to sign. See what a commission contract should include.

Invoices collectors can pay online

Create branded invoices for sales, deposits and commission milestones. Connect your Stripe account and collectors can pay by card from a secure link. See at a glance what's pending, paid and overdue, and log expenses on Pro. Here's what to put on an artist invoice.

Collectors, contacts and commissions

Keep collectors, galleries, curators and interior designers in one CRM with notes, tags and purchase history. Manage commission requests from inquiry to delivery with stages, deposits and deadlines, and keep conversations organized with built-in messaging.

Private viewing rooms

Send a collector a private, beautifully laid-out online room of selected works instead of a folder of photos or a PDF. Starter includes 3 rooms, Pro 25, Studio unlimited.

Artist website and CV

Publish a public artist page with your bio, statement and available work, and build a properly formatted artist CV (exhibitions, education, awards, residencies, collections) with its own shareable page. Themes and the full artist website are on Pro and Studio.

Consignments and exhibitions

Track which gallery has which piece, agreed commission percentages and end dates, so "where is everything?" always has an answer. Plan exhibitions and link the works in each show. Studio adds a consignment map. Read more about consignment agreements and splits.

Social scheduler and analytics

Plan Instagram and social posts around new work and shows. Analytics show portfolio value, sales velocity, what's selling by medium and inventory status (Pro and Studio).

Grant, residency and fellowship finder (Studio)

The Studio plan matches your medium, location and career stage against the grants, residencies, fellowships and open calls in the ArtistOS opportunity database, scores each one for fit, flags deadlines and location restrictions, and drafts your artist statement, project description, bio and "why this opportunity" answer from your actual CV. It won't invent credentials. For Louisiana artists, see our guide to grants and residencies you can apply to.

Archive-grade records (Studio)

For artists whose work is an asset: provenance timelines for each piece, editions and print management, insurance and appraisal reports, career analytics, and personal onboarding with a quarterly review.
