Easily curate and publish complete exhibitions online and share the ideas, themes, and messages of your exhibitions with art collectors around the world.
Expand your walls
Free your exhibitions from the limitations of gallery size and wall space. With unlimited online exhibitions at your fingertips, you can expand your exhibition schedule, hold online only exhibitions, promote your offline exhibitions and much more.
Reach wider audiences
Make your exhibitions accessible for art collectors and art lovers around the world. Reach millennial art collectors online and build exhibition experiences which aren’t restricted by physical access to your gallery space.
Boost Artwork Sales
Boost your artwork sales by offering your collectors more ways to experience your exhibitions and buy. Online exhibitions allow buyers to easily browse, favourite and purchase no matter where they are located and across all mobile and desktop devices.
Curate beautiful exhibitions
The Exhibit is unlike traditional art listing websites or e-commerce solutions, where individual artworks are simply listed online until they sell, with little or no context. Instead, The Exhibit is purpose built for publishing complete exhibitions online, has everything you need to customise your visitor experience, share your ideas & stories, and sell directly from your exhibition. And just like the real world, exhibitions are temporary with defined opening and closing dates, allowing you to create anticipation for your opening night, increase urgency and more effectively make sales during your exhibition’s “open” dates.
Collaborate with artists across the globe
The Exhibit enables galleries to easily collaborate on solo and group exhibitions with artists, makers and cultural institutions located in any of our supported countries. And because there’s no need to courier exhibition objects to your door in order to “hang” an online exhibition, you no longer need to be geographically close to each other for an exhibition to take place. When Artworks sell, they’re simply shipped to buyers by the artist, removing the need to ship artworks to and from your gallery location.
Sync your offline shows with online
The Exhibit allows you to build online exhibitions which sync directly with your offline shows, allowing you to attract wider audiences into your physical exhibition spaces. The platform not only gives you a way to increase access to your exhibitions, but allows for more powerful pre-sale promotion, provides additional information to visitors in your gallery venue via their smart phones, and can even act as a sales payment platform removing the need for expensive POS and EFTPOS equipment.
Reduce overheads and increase profits
Because online exhibitions are open 24/7, have lower overheads (you don’t need to air-condition, feed them or staff them), and we only charge a low 3.5% commission* on artwork sales, you really can reduce your costs and increase your profits. This combined with exhibitions designed for easy promotion online and across social media, allows you to reach more buyers for less outlay. And by exhibiting with us you can leverage our network to further build yours.

How it works
1.
Curate
Using our step by step exhibition setup tool, customise your exhibition, set your opening and closing dates, exhibit all types of artwork and include for sale, on enquiry and not for sale works.
2.
Promote
Each exhibition has its own unique landing page and URL, so once published, you can easily promote your unique show online & drive traffic directly to your exhibition using our promotional tools.
3.
Pre-Sell
Use The Exhibit as your pre-sale catalogue and build buzz before your launch. Potential buyers can preview all exhibition artworks & bookmark their favourites prior to opening night.
4.
Exhibiton Opens
When your exhibition reaches its opening date and time, each exhibited for sale artwork becomes available for purchase and buyers know to be ready online to start collecting.
5.
Inform
Visitors can also use your online exhibition while inside your offline gallery space to access artwork information, extended wall labels, videos, prices and artist biographies via their smart phones.
6.
Chat
Interested collectors can contact you directly from inside your exhibition, or on your profile page. You can then easily manage your correspondence from a dedicated inbox accessed via your account area.
7.
Transact
We’ve fully automated our transaction payouts. You define the commission split with your artists, then when a sale is made we take care of paying you and your artists, directly into your bank accounts.
8.
Exhibiton Closes
When your exhibition closes, any unsold artworks remain for sale in your own online Stockroom*, plus your exhibition remains archived online for future visitors to discover.

Very impressed
As a former web/digital project manager, I'm very impressed with how The Exhibit rolls. I like the format and cannot fault the organisation/followup and experience of it. Thank you so much.
Empowers art collectors
Allows art collectors to preview the exhibition before it opens, experience the full impact of the exhibition, pick their favourites and be online at the advertised opening time ready to purchase.
A class above Saatchi etc.
I think you have done a fabulous job - the site looks great and we love the concept of showing work in a gallery space. It puts you in a class above Saatchi etc.

Creates a sense of anticipation & excitement
The Exhibit creates a sense of anticipation, excitement, and urgency to get in early to buy on opening night – something that I think many artists and curators miss about the platform.

Why only exhibit your art in a gallery when potential customers can purchase your artwork online from anywhere in the world.
