Exhibition Gallery Layout & Wall Placement

Exhibition Gallery Layout & Wall Placement

Planning the physical layout of your exhibition is a crucial part of creating a compelling visitor experience. Crafted Call allows you to organize your gallery spaces, define walls, and strategically place artworks using a digital canvas that mirrors your actual physical space.

Understanding Gallery Spaces and Walls

A gallery space represents a room or distinct area in your exhibition venue. Within each space, you can define multiple walls to organize how artworks are displayed. This hierarchical structure helps you plan realistic layouts and communicate positioning clearly to artists, installers, and team members.

When creating a new gallery space, you'll specify:

• The space name (e.g., "Main Hall," "Corridor Gallery," "VIP Room")
• Physical dimensions if applicable
• A description of the space's characteristics

Once a space exists, you can add walls within it. Each wall represents a distinct display surface where artworks will be positioned.

Placing Artworks on Walls

Crafted Call's wall placement feature uses a coordinate system to position artworks precisely. When you select a wall, you'll see a digital representation where you can drag and drop artworks to specific locations.

Key placement details:

• Coordinate positioning ensures exact placement planning
• Visualize spacing between pieces before installation
• Set artwork dimensions to maintain accurate representation
• Adjust heights to reflect actual wall positions (floor, eye level, upper wall)

This digital layout becomes a reference guide for physical installation, helping installers understand exactly where each piece should hang.

Tip: Take measurements of your actual gallery walls before creating your digital layout. Knowing wall widths and optimal height ranges will make your digital plan more useful for physical installation.

Managing Artwork Positions

As your exhibition evolves, you may need to adjust artwork positions. Crafted Call allows you to:

• Move artworks between walls within the same space
• Adjust coordinates to fine-tune positioning
• Remove artworks and leave space for future pieces
• Duplicate successful layout patterns across similar walls

When you make position changes, the system tracks these updates and can notify relevant team members about installation changes.
