What is Artelier Business?
Published 10 June 2026 · 4 min read
Artelier Business is a complete business platform for independent artists and small studios. It replaces the spreadsheets, the second inbox, and the side tools, with one continuous workflow that runs from cataloguing an artwork through to certifying and shipping the sale.
Who Artelier Business is for
Independent visual artists at any career stage: emerging, mid-career, established. Artist managers running boutique practices. Small studios managing up to five artists. The platform supports painters, sculptors, photographers, printmakers, mixed-media and digital artists.
Artelier Business is built for working artists who treat their practice as a business, and for the managers who work with them. Galleries are served by the Bespoke plan, which is set up with each gallery for its artists, works and sales. It is not built for hobbyists or one-off sellers.
What Artelier Business does
The platform runs a six-step continuous workflow:
- Catalogue. Every artwork is added once (dimensions, medium, photos, provenance) and becomes the single source of truth for everything downstream.
- Inquire. Buyer inquiries from Instagram, email, and in-person conversations are logged and linked to the work.
- Quote. Pricing is suggested by a built-in pricing engine and decided by the artist. One-sheets and private viewing links are generated on demand.
- Sell. A compliant invoice is issued in seconds, branded to the artist or studio.
- Certify. A signed Certificate of Authenticity is generated automatically with every sale and stored permanently against the artwork.
- Ship. Customs-grade export documents are produced for the exact origin-to-destination corridor, no customs broker required.
A built-in Business Companion sits inside the workflow and helps with the parts most artists hire someone for: collector outreach, consignment contracts, artist statements, customs guidance, and service-package design for managers.
How Artelier Business is different
No commission. Artelier Business charges a flat monthly fee. Every sale is 100% the artist's. There is no marketplace cut, no platform discounting, no per- transaction fee.
You own your data. Collectors, sales history, certificates, documents: all exportable in open formats at any time. The platform sits under the artist's business; it does not absorb it.
A real pricing method. The pricing engine uses size, medium, your record, and market signals, not guesswork or marketplace averages. Read the full method in our pillar guide: How to price your art →
An artwork-first data model. Generic CRMs know nothing about editions, certificates, or customs documents. Artelier Business was built around the artwork as the foundation of every record, which is how the art market actually works.
