Creating an Exhibition from a Call

Exhibitions showcase accepted submissions and make them available for viewing, purchase, and public discovery. Crafted Call makes it seamless to create an exhibition directly from completed calls or to build one independently.

Option 1: Create Directly from a Call (Recommended)

The fastest way to launch an exhibition is to create it directly from a closed call—accepted submissions automatically populate.

1. Navigate to your Call (closed or with jury results finalized)
2. Click Create Exhibition (button appears once jury is finalized)
3. Confirm or edit these auto-populated fields:
   • Exhibition Title (defaults to call name)
   • Description (optional—can be different from call description)
   • Start Date and End Date
4. Choose visibility and settings (see below)
5. Click Create Exhibition

Auto-populated submissions include:

• All accepted submissions from jury results
• Submission images and artist metadata
• Original pricing and edition info (if provided in call)

You can add, remove, or edit individual artworks after creation.

Option 2: Create an Exhibition Independently

Create an exhibition from scratch and manually add artworks:

1. Go to Exhibitions
2. Click + New Exhibition
3. Fill in:
   • Title
   • Description (rich text—supports formatting)
   • Start & End Dates
   • Exhibition Location or Online Only
4. Configure settings (see below)
5. Click Create
6. You'll land on the Artworks tab to start adding pieces

After creation, link artworks manually by:

• Uploading new artworks
• Selecting from previous submissions
• Importing from other calls or exhibitions

Tip: Independent exhibitions work well for invited artist shows, staff curations, or gallery-held inventory.
