### "Game Changer for National Art Programs and Non-Profits"

May 28, 2026

5.0

Artwork Archive has been an incredible fit for our program, Rare Artist, a nonprofit-led art and advocacy program through the EveryLife Foundation for Rare Diseases. The program highlights artists who use art to share their lived experiences and advocate for the rare disease community. Since 2009, we have displayed artwork through WordPress portfolio/masonry pages and even tried experimenting with virtual galleries. We consistently ran into the same pain points: limited or no searchability, difficulty organizing artists and themes, and no meaningful way to geographically visualize our community. As soon as I heard about Artwork Archive, I immediately knew it would solve many of those challenges, and it's done more than I anticipated. The team also consistently offers wonderful webinars and educational opportunities, so we know support and guidance is always available. \[sensitive content hidden\] in particular has always been incredibly kind, responsive, and willing to help problem-solve with us. I’m really looking forward to continuing to grow our usage of Artwork Archive in the coming years. My goal is to one day use the Call for Entry feature for Rare Artist submissions, instead of relying on a separate contest platform that has consistently been difficult to navigate. Artwork Archive genuinely feels like a light at the end of the tunnel for many of the organizational and accessibility challenges we’ve faced trying to manage a growing national arts program. Truly grateful!

Pros

The search and tagging features have been game-changers for us. We’re now able to easily organize artists, rare diseases, advocacy themes, mediums, and more in ways we never could before. Families can search for keywords to find art pieces that are similar to their own journey. The map feature has been our favorite! Our organization does advocacy work on both the state and federal level. Our advocates, and even our team, love being able to quickly see where artists are across the country. It has created a much stronger sense of community and visibility for our advocates. It also helps save the need to pull internal reports to identify advocates for local advocacy opportunities! It also helps us quickly see what regions of the country we need to focus on reaching to encourage program growth and reach. I also really appreciate how user-friendly the platform is. We've had 3 people, including myself, a high school volunteer, and a grad school intern, easily navigate the platform. The flexibility is also phenomenal. We don’t list collections or artwork for sale, but we were still easily able to adapt the platform to fit our needs. We also love that we can upload video links alongside artwork, which has been incredibly valuable for storytelling and advocacy.

Cons

I can't even think of one, honestly, so I'll share something I worried about that ended up not being a concern. We’re using Artwork Archive less as a sales/collection platform and more as a searchable artist archive, advocacy tool, and community showcase. I was worried that, because this is different from what was intended, it would not work. I quickly learned that the platform is flexible, most fields aren't marked as required, and incomplete information isn't even shown or noticeable when published.

### "Highly Recommend"

September 17, 2025

5.0

Our experience with Artwork Archive has been excellent. The team has been extremely helpful in making sure our needs are met, and the platform allows us to maintain our collection at the level of professionalism we expect. As a small non-profit, we also appreciate that it’s affordable without compromising on quality. We highly recommend it to other organizations looking for an intuitive, well-supported collections management tool.

Pros

Artwork Archive has been an invaluable tool for our organization. The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, which has made day-to-day use seamless for our team. Since adopting it, we’ve been able to streamline and improve several processes for organizing and managing documentation about our collection. It has brought efficiency, clarity, and consistency to our work, and we’re grateful for the way it supports both our internal needs and our broader mission.

Cons

There have been a few times when we’ve gotten stuck trying to generate the exact report we needed or wished there were more advanced filter options. That said, the support team has been excellent—quick to respond and committed to helping me find a solution each time. The ease of accessing support makes a big difference and offsets any challenges.

Reason for choosing Artwork Archive

The walkthrough with their rep was very impressive. They offer some really great features that could streamline the loan process, including private viewing rooms with favoriting options, so potential borrowers could pick from pre-selected groupings. They also have a calendar/reminder feature, the option to upload video links as well as QR code and tagging features. That's all in addition to the usual inventory features, and everything (or sections of data) can all be shared with the public via website embeds at no additional cost.

### "The Art of Archiving"

April 13, 2020

4.0

I do understand the presentation and workflow of the Artwork Archive. However, I discontinued my use with the product as it seemed unnecessary. However, I do have a belief that they can change their options in the future.

Pros

This product review actually resonates perfectly as part of my career involves organizing visual archives. I decided to give this product a chance to shine as I was curious about what it would present. I do enjoy the clean, minimalistic appearance it prides itself in. In addition, I find myself inspired by its ease of guidance with a tutorial-listic approach to instructing its users.

Cons

I feel that, because this software gives off the impression of a community-based site, I do wish it would carry an option for users to showcase their work at a more open portal in a free plan (where they can share their work, without having to pay a large sum just to do so). It would be fair enough to provide a free plan to show your work, with limited options.

### "No Regrets!"

September 23, 2025

5.0

We quickly knew moving our database to Artwork Archive was the right thing to do and we were right. No regrets.

Pros

Artwork Archive was very easy to use and I quickly felt I could move around it it confidently. The learning curve was not steep at all. It is easy to manage the artists in our collection, easy to manage our different collections, and we are beginning to use it to manage our exhibitions in each of our galleries.

Cons

There are not many cons to Artwork Archive from our point of view. Perhaps the only one being that we can't "thumb" through images of our collection with the click of an arrow.

### "Highly Recommend"

July 25, 2025

5.0

We've had the pleasure of using Artwork Archive for over a year now. In addition to the easy to use collection management program, their responsiveness and customer service have truly set them apart from other companies. Whether it's a quick question or a larger request, their team consistently responds with speed, clarity, and a genuine willingness to help. What stands out most is how approachable they are — the Artwork Archive team makes it clear that your success with their software matters to them. Highly recommend!

Pros

Artwork Archive is easy to use, visually appealing, and saves us time when producing reports. I often recommend this collection management software, it is affordable and they often add new useful features showing a responsiveness to user feedback.

Cons

At this time there isn't anything that we dislike about Artwork Archive. The ability to have a conversation with a member of the Artwork Archive team same day or next day is wildly helpful.

### "Great for small Non-Profits in need of low-cost organization tools"

January 12, 2026

4.0

I have loved using Artwork Archive so far! We first started using the database in April and have ramped up recently, aiming to publicly launch the online website in February for our customers! It has been incredibly easy to use and easy to get accustomed to for a first-time learner.

Pros

I love finding new features, like the bulk editing tool, which has been a life saver! The program is also incredibly affordable, which was super important to us as a small nonprofit that needed a database but could not shell out a ton of money for one!

Cons

The database can be a little limiting at times, as you can only edit the backend so much, for example certain drop downs are set. But the Artwork Archive team is very responsive and open to feedback!

### "Sigler Western Museum"

November 12, 2025

5.0

My experience with AA has been very positive. I am glad to have switched away from the old software and I am pleased with the functionality of AA.

Pros

The company was very resposive and made setup simple. The site is easy to use and versatile enough to handle all of our needs.

Cons

It is clearly designed for art galleries, and for that purpose it is excellent. However, my museum has both art and historical artifacts, and using it for those can be slightly awkward.

### "A Professional Art Management tool that is a god send for Estate Executors"

February 18, 2026

5.0

What's been interesting is the reaction of the professionals at the auction houses I'm dealing with and the people transporting the items. The fact that you can upload multiple photographs per item, including provenance documentation and everything else, makes it a "system of record" that could be extraordinarily useful beyond its focus, which is really working with artists. Bottom line, I love this tool. It's something I tried to create for myself using FileMaker. This works better.

Pros

Artwork Archive has proven invaluable while managing the art collection that is a part of my mother's estate. The ability to quickly create private rooms focused on specific parts of our collection has been a lifesaver.

Cons

The user interface requires a lot of back-and-forth clicking to update things. There should be more shortcuts built into it to move from editing one to editing the next in a collection. Also, it's priced for professionals and could be extraordinarily useful for people with their own small personal art collections. I suspect there's a trade-off between different types of capabilities at different price points that would really allow them to expand their market.

### "There's a place for everything and Artwork Archive is the place!"

October 13, 2025

5.0

Overall, since using AA, I can now appreciate the breadth and depth of what I've been able to achieve in my art practice. I credit that to entering the information into the archive and seeing it reflected back. I still have hundreds of pieces to enter, but I'm happy with what I've been able to acheive thanks to the introductory webinar and the excellent help of the staff.

Pros

I'm thrilled that I am able to store so much information from size and price of a work, to the location and the expenses occurred along the way. It didn't take long to learn how to create a "piece" record for an individual artwork, but it took several days for me to appreciate the amount of data I could enter! I'm excited to begin the new year charting all of my expenses and income on AA and happy that I no longer have to spend minutes searching my computer for whatever file holds the information I'm looking. I'm also grateful that the staff of AA respond quickly - important as sometimes transactions with art are fast moving. Overall a great value.

Cons

I think that the public profiles on AA could be more aesthetically pleasing. In comparison to the website templates on a site like SquareSpace, the visuals are a bit stiff and the way in which the art populates the portfolio appears crowded.

The customer service is perhaps the best part of Artwork Archive. They are very responsive and helpful.

Pros

It is a great value, I like being able to keep everything in one place (including all maintenance records, etc) and being able to sort by different fields and generate different types of reports. The fact that is Cloud-based allows us to access it anywhere. And the format is very clean and easy to read.

Cons

Sometime the fields don't align with our needs. They seem more appropriate for a commercial gallery than a non-profit.

### "Thank you, Artwork Archive for revolutionizing the way we organize and access art!"

November 4, 2021

5.0

Pros

Art is an integral part of the healing environment of Children's Hospital. From the permanent collection, to our temporary exhibition spaces, community art projects, patient art shows, and diverse creative programming, we go above and beyond to engage patients, families, and team members. Artwork Archive has been an instrumental partner in helping take Children's Hospital Colorado's arts program to new heights. Through the innovative partnership between Artwork Archive and Children's Hospital Colorado, we have increased access to art across our System of Care and created a new standard for stewardship of our fine art collection. Through the generous donation of Artwork Archive's suite of services we are able to create virtual exhibitions, catalogue every piece of art, track donor and artist information, and more easily implement pieces for the greatest benefit of our audiences. Access to creative arts in the hospital provides inspiration, respite, and joy. Artwork Archive goes above and beyond a partner or vendor, they are true collaborators who recognize that a compassionate touch makes all the difference. Their team is always looking for ways to strengthen the work we do, and it is very appreciated.

Cons

My only wish is that we were able to better integrate Artwork Archive's virtual exhibitions and collection into our existing web presence, which has proven difficult due to internal limitations on how we are able to share and produce public content.

### "NMSU University Art Museum AA Review"

June 15, 2022

5.0

Within under a year this database has truly advanced our museum database systems to another level. We are able to easily track and document all of our pieces on any laptop, ipad, or phone as needed. We can quickly create rooms to share with visiting scholars, and on campus professors which has vastly increased our ability to work collaboratively with our NMSU campus and outside. As we continue to use the software, I am certain that we will continue to find new and innovative ways in which the system provides quick and purposeful solutions to many of the issues we had with our older previous database.

Pros

The software is extremely easy to use and intuitive. The software seamlessly transferred our previous museum database information into the new software and did so in a way that provided ample space for customization where needed. The system provides easy access for searching and documenting works, and provides really detailed information regarding file uploads, artwork costs and receipts, and managing communications with artists and contacts.

Cons

I think there are a few kinks that get worked through when dealing with a collecting museum that does not sell artwork to the public, and instead focuses on the tracking and documentation of artwork in-house. Some of the tools are geared towards that specific goal, and we've worked with the team to customize and meet the goals of our own museum. The team has been so helpful in working around some of these areas, and working with us to implement some of the suggestions that we have come up with as a team.

### "An essential tool for an artist"

August 8, 2021

5.0

I now know where everything is, where it has been, and where it is going. It's fantastic for inventory and for tracking exhibitions and galleries that have my work.

Pros

I use Artwork Archive all the time. I have been a user for years, after having a disagreement with a gallery on how many of my pieces they had. I needed something better for tracking and found it. Artwork Archive keeps track of everything, and allows me to generate the reports I need for galleries, exhibitions, even for inventory purposes at tax time.

Cons

I would love some more detailed fields for tracking exhibitions since I ship most of my art, and get it shipped back to me after. (like, when do I have to ship vs when is the artwork due in the gallery, when will they ship it back vs when will it return to my studio). Overall, exhibition capabilities continue to improve which is great, but there's more that cam be done. If it could then automatically update my google calendar with entries as they are added or changed, I'd be really happy. ALthough it's helpful top see the calendar info in AA, it would be better if I can see everything in the calendar that I see on my phone and desktop.

Reason for choosing Artwork Archive

Arwork Archive has all the most important features I need, and at a very reasonable cost. It's a no brainer.

### "The Best Art Inventory & Art Business Software. Period."

June 4, 2020

5.0

I had spent years looking for a system to help organize my art business. Initially, all I wanted was a program to help keep track of my artwork. Finding a way to keep track of the data for each piece seemed impossible. I started using Artwork Archive in 2015 and since then they have constantly added additional features that have continued to improve their product. Also they have amazing customer service.

Pros

Artwork Archive has every feature I need for organizing the administrative side of my art practice. It is very easy to use and I can track the location and sales of every piece of art . I love that I have my collector database and art database in one spot and that it is very easy to attach a sold piece to its collector. Every sale is automatically logged so you can keep track of inventory, relationship management and income in one place. Especially helpful is that you can automatically create editions from prints and track every numbered print you produce. This is normally a real nightmare but they make it easy. Another fantastic feature is that you can just select the paintings in your inventory for a show and automatically create inventory lists, portfolio pages and wall labels for an exhibit. There really is no other art studio software anyone needs.

Cons

There really isn't anything I would want to change at this time. They keep adding elements that I didn't think I needed before.

Reason for choosing Artwork Archive

It was easier to use and the price was reasonable.

### "Technology for artists"

October 24, 2022

5.0

I'm a new company and it provides me the tools to manage consignment art effectively and at a reasonable cost. What I truly appreciate about Artwork Archive is that I get the sense that this team is 100% behind their mission of supporting artists. The team seems to really care. I understand technology and how it works. The ease of use of course was a factor but I was sold on their passion for artists.

Pros

It's easy to use. I like the inventory management features for artwork. It allowed me to put my new small business online in a cost effective manner. The reports are amazing. I like the fact that the company is constantly upgrading the software.

Cons

I would like more information about how to handle consignments. Formatting options for reports would be great. I'm not really sure how to effectively use exhibitions. I would like to but it's not clear. I would like to archive photos and information about exhibitions that have already occured.

Thanks for the review Michele! We're glad you can easily find your art biz info! When it comes to the ordering in the account, make sure to check out what Sort dropdown you have selected. That's how you'll view your artworks on your page. The same goes for the Sort options on the Public Profile. It can be alpha, price, date added, etc. Cheers, The Artwork Archive Team

### "The best all around artwork management software!"

August 5, 2021

5.0

This software manages all my inventory and where its located. I run reports to keep myself on track. Its so simple and effective compared to the manual spreadsheet I used to try to keep up with.

Pros

The entire software package is easy to use, logical and thoughtfully inclusive with all the details I need.

Cons

I wish the location data entry could be inside the record details for the artwork so I don't have to go back and do it separately.

Thanks for the wonderful review Chris! We do store the artwork's location within the artwork record. You can change the artwork's location (art show, art fair, on consignment, sale, etc.) within the artwork record. If you click onto the location from the artwork, you can also edit the location record info. If we're missing a need please let us know! You can contact us at team@artworkarchive.com

### "A Collector's Perspective of Artwork Archive"

July 14, 2020

5.0

Artwork Archive has allowed me to catalog my art collection with a minimum of data entry headaches. It is well designed, simple to use and gives me easy online access to my collection.

Pros

I spent several months looking for software to use in cataloging my art collection. Artwork Archive had the features I was looking for a price that I could afford. I like the ease of data entry, the ease of attaching images, and the varied types of reports that can be generated. Their online tutorials are very helpful in explaining the softwares features. I also appreciate the fact they are continually improving the software by adding features like the private viewing room.

Cons

A filter function when preparing reports that allows you to select by artist name would helpful.

Thank you for the review! I'm glad you mentioned report generation. You can filter by Artist name! When creating the report, scroll down to Filters, click on the box, and then select the dropdown for Artist.

### "Glad I found Artwork Archive"

July 15, 2020

5.0

I worked really hard to set up my own gallery on my website and I still wasn’t happy with the results. Then I saw a post about Artwork Archive from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] on Instagram and I was intrigued. I’ve found him to be a trustworthy source of information and advice so I watched his video and others I found on YouTube and I set it up. It’s been fantastic and trouble free. Also I appreciate your emails and the excellent advice in them. I wasn’t expecting that, it’s a great added bonus.

Pros

It’s easy to use, easy to set up, clients find it easy to search, I find it easy to update (even from my phone) it looks professional.

Cons

I’d love to be able to organize my paintings to appear to my customers in order of medium or some other way. I know they can search and I can have collections so this is a small thing. I had to really think to come up with a con.

### "Artwork Archive rocks!"

July 13, 2020

5.0

Every Sunday I update my inventory with sales and new pieces which are automatically reflected on my website. Every Monday I get an email telling me about upcoming deadlines for exhibits. I know where my pieces are and can generate reports, labels, and print out my artist statement as needed. If you’re looking for a tool to help you stay organized Artwork Archive is the way to go!

Pros

It takes care of the business side of things so I can focus on painting. It’s easy to use, very intuitive, and can be integrated with your website so you only have to update things once. Also - the customer support team is great - helpful and quick to respond.

Cons

There is nothing I dislike about this software - it’s awesome!

### "Excellent for our needs"

December 20, 2022

5.0

Pros

The Inventory management system has been crucial for our needs. It's easy to use and very intuitive for keeping up to date with prints and originals.

Cons

The initial integration was clunky. Moving and editing multiple images within the same section can be difficult.
