RSVPing to Opening Receptions

Many Crafted Call submissions include opportunities to RSVP to opening receptions or related events. RSVPs help galleries plan for attendance, catering, and space. Here's how to RSVP to events through Crafted Call.

Finding Events Attached to Calls

Not every call has an event, but if the gallery is planning one, you'll see it in the call details:

1. Open the call you're interested in
2. Look for an "Events" section or tab
3. You'll see event details like:
   • Date and time
   • Location (address or venue name)
   • Event type (opening reception, talk, workshop, etc.)
   • Whether RSVP is required or optional

If no events are listed, the gallery may not be hosting a public event for this call. That's fine—you can still submit without attending.

How to RSVP

To RSVP to an event:

1. Navigate to the event details within the call
2. Click "RSVP" or "Register"
3. A form will appear asking for your information
4. Fill in the required fields (see below for common fields)
5. Click "Confirm RSVP" or "Submit"
6. You'll receive a confirmation code via email

That's it! You're registered.

Pro tip: RSVP early. Some galleries limit attendance based on venue capacity, and spots can fill up quickly for popular events.

Common RSVP Form Fields

Different galleries request different information, but here are typical fields:

Basic Information (Required):
