Plinth is the quiet operating system for small galleries — submissions, exhibitions, catalogue and collectors in one place, with artists kept informed at every step. So your curators can do the one thing software can't: welcome people through the door.
Between the spreadsheets, the unanswered emails and the artist at the door with work you never approved, the actual gallery — the room, the people, the art — gets the least of your attention. Plinth takes the three heaviest parts off your plate.
Submissions, selections, delivery windows, wall space, prices and paperwork — tracked in one place instead of ten.
Every decision reaches the artist in clear, kind language — and you can see when they've read it. Fewer tense moments at the door.
Collectors remembered, catalogue kept current, nothing slipping between an opening and a sale.
The most common friction in a small gallery: an artist brings work that was never approved, because the rejection email went unread. Plinth closes that gap — a decision isn't done until the artist has seen it.
Declines and change-requests require written feedback — no silent rejections, no guessing.
A blocking notice greets them on login: read the decision, then confirm 'I won't deliver this work.'
The gallery view flips from 'awaiting acknowledgement' to 'acknowledged' — so you know it's been read.
Accepted pieces receive a drop-off pass — reference, delivery window and packing notes. The desk is expecting them.
Every contemporary gallery has its own taste, its own pace and its own way of working with artists. Plinth adapts to yours: set your own open-call criteria, your pricing approach, your house language for decisions, and your branding — for galleries of two people or twenty.
Everything you need to set up your gallery, run your first open call, and bring your artists on board — in plain language.
Add your logo and colours, watch both portals adapt, and walk through the features with a short feedback survey.
