Why Artists and Galleries Need a CRM
Most artists struggle with:
- Keeping track of potential buyers
- Sending invites for openings
- Following up after a sale
- Managing custom orders or commissions
Galleries deal with:
- Multiple artists and event logistics
- Poor visibility into collector interest
- Untracked leads from show visitors
GoHighLevel fixes all of that.

FAQs
Can I display my art in a gallery-style landing page?

What if I manage multiple artists?
Use sub-accounts or tags per artist. Pipelines and dashboards let you track each one separately.
How do I follow up after an event?
Use Smart Lists (e.g. "Attended Opening Night") and create a Workflow to send thank-you messages and next steps.
Can I track sales and interest?
Yes. Pipelines and opportunity stages give you clear visibility into your sales flow and client history.
