Publishing a Call Is Free.

Pay as you go is $0 USD/month and $0 USD to publish a call. Each work entered is one completed application, and it carries a flat $1 USD platform charge. On each call you choose who pays it: your organization, invoiced monthly and itemized by call, or the artist at checkout. Each call can use up to 3 jurors and 1 jury round; Core raises that to 5 jurors and 2 jury rounds. A standalone exhibition is $29 USD. No monthly commitment and no minimum bill.

No. The charge counts artworks, not images. A sculpture photographed from five angles is one work entered and one charge. On each call you set how many images an artist can upload per work, from 1 to 50 (5 by default), on every plan.

Yes. You can include platform and processing costs in your gallery's advertised entry price, including in Australia and New Zealand where entry payments are supported. In the call's fee settings, preview a chosen amount in the call currency and apply it to paid prices. Choose organization pays when publishing: your organization remains responsible for its platform charge, and the artist pays your gallery's ordinary entry price. Discounts and waivers still apply. The separate artists-pay platform charge is currently available only on USD calls outside Australia and New Zealand; their consumer tax and payment implementation still requires review. A fully waived application carries no platform charge.

Stripe deducts processing costs from your payment proceeds at the rate for your account. You can include those costs in your advertised entry price, or offer artists a genuinely optional contribution toward gallery costs. Disabling Gallery Absorbs Processing Costs does not create an automatic card surcharge. The optional contribution starts unticked; artists can pay the entry price without it. Understanding platform and processing fees

Publishing a call is $0 USD on every plan. A subscription lowers the flat charge per completed application: Pay as you go $1 USD, Core $0.65 USD, Studio $0.50 USD, Gallery $0.50 USD, and Premier $0.25 USD. The lower rate applies while the subscription is active; applications completed after it ends are charged at the Pay-as-you-go rate.

Not of the paid plans. Everything is free to set up and explore on Pay as you go, and you only pay when applications complete. A paid plan is billed from the day you subscribe, and you can switch between plans at any time.

Yes, on every plan. Set the call to Unlisted and Crafted Call keeps it off every public listing, including the call directory and search, and asks search engines not to index it. Artists reach it only through the link you share, for example from a members-only page on your own website.

Absolutely. Upgrade or downgrade at any time from your dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately, and downgrades apply at the end of your current billing cycle.

On Pay as you go, standalone exhibitions are $29 USD each with no concurrency cap. Exhibitions attached to a published call are included with that call. Paid plans include exhibitions, but the limit is on concurrent active exhibitions, not calls: Core 1, Studio 2, Gallery 3, Premier unlimited.

On eligible USD calls outside Australia and New Zealand, an entry above $0 but under the charge cannot cover it, so the artist pays the charge on that entry whatever the call is set to, and sees the total before paying. If every price on a call is below the charge, the publish card fixes the setting to artists pay; if only some are, the call keeps your setting and the artist pays the charge on the cheap entries only. Raising the entry price to at least $1 USD puts the choice back in your hands. On calls in other currencies, your organization owes the full USD platform charge on its usage invoice; entry prices are not compared with that USD amount. Paid entries must still meet the existing checkout minimum in the call currency.

You have seven days from the first failed collection, and nothing changes during them. After that, publishing a new call, creating an exhibition, duplicating an exhibition and exporting submissions in bulk stop until the balance is settled. Live calls keep accepting artists throughout, and signing in, reading your calls and submissions, jury review, your billing pages and updating your card are never restricted.

It's a fully managed gallery website on your own domain, designed by us and auto-synced with your calls, exhibitions, and e-commerce. Add it to the Premier plan for $30 USD/mo (or $300 USD/yr), billed alongside your subscription, and add or remove it at any time. A one-time $299 USD setup fee covers the initial design and build, and it's waived when you choose Premier billed yearly.

Yes. Museums, universities, and arts centers can pair Premier with a dedicated service layer: guided call setup and migration, priority support while submissions are open, help for the artists applying, and invoice or purchase-order billing. Reach out through the contact form and we'll put together a quote.

We'll notify you when you're approaching limits. You can upgrade at any time to unlock higher limits. We never cut off access mid-call — your active calls always run to completion.
