Your work, where it is, and who has it
CloudCat is an artwork catalogue for artists and galleries. You enter each work once, and your selections, invoices, consignments and website all come out of that record. It's free for up to 25 works; a site on your own domain starts at $10 a month, and gallery plans at $40.
CloudCat replaces the spreadsheet, the notebook and the photos on your phone with one record per work. Everything else comes from that record: the PDF for a collector, the list for a gallery, the invoice, the page on your website.
What you'd use it for
Every work, written down once
Title, date, medium, size framed and unframed, weight, inventory number, price, and every photo you have of it, kept at full size. When something sells you change it once, and your website, your shared links and your invoices all catch up.
Editions
An edition is one record with its prints underneath, proofs included, so when one sells you can see what's left.
When a collector asks what's available
Pick the works and send a private link or a PDF, with prices or without. They see only what you chose, and there's nothing to log into.
When work goes to a gallery
Note what went, at what price and commission, and print the list for them to sign. The work shows as consigned out, so you won't offer it to anyone else, and when they report a sale you'll know what it should come to before you invoice.
When something sells
Record the sale, send the invoice with its number and payment terms, and mark it paid when the money lands. An invoice to a gallery shows the working, so they can follow it line by line.
A website
Every plan publishes your catalogue at yourname.cloudcat.me, and from $10 a month it can live on your own domain. You choose which works to show, and there's nothing to copy across.
Every show you've been in
The venue, the dates and the works that hung there, with the installation shots. Upload the photos and CloudCat spots which of your works are in them, for you to confirm.
Exporting your data
Export everything, original images too, whenever you like. That's on every plan, the free one included.
