Introduction to the Artists Section

Introduction

The Artists section is where you can organize and manage the artists who collaborate with your gallery or are part of your collection or archive.

If you have an Artshell Essential or Premiere plan, you can create an unlimited number of profiles for your artists. With the Artist plan, however, you can create only one profile. Regardless of your plan, you can always organize your records intuitively using tags and lists, and enrich them with biographies, images, documents, and other multimedia files. Finally, you can link the correspondingArtworks records Artworks Artshell to your records .
