Everything galleries need to professionally showcase your work—online, in person, or at fairs. Arcual makes it easy to present, share, and promote your art with tools built for today’s artists. A full set of features is listed below. Use cases and more examples can be found here.
Build a professional storefront to showcase your work and receive collector inquiries. Storefronts act as simplified store or ecommerce page on which you can collect inquiries. Storefront can be easily configured. It can act as your simple portfolio.
Curate digital exhibitions for limited audiences or individual collectors. Set custom pricing, artwork selections, and access levels tailored to each buyer—ideal for VIP previews or discreet sales. Private viewing rooms are password-protected.
Curate digital shows for public audiences or group of collectors.
Personalize your storefronts and viewing rooms with your logo, banner image, and custom text—so every presentation reflects your identity and curatorial voice.
Create a clean, customizable link-in-bio page featuring your artworks, social media, exhibitions or links to other pages like your portfolio or blog. Use it to share or sell directly—on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or any platform. Easily add artworks from your Arcual inventory to turn interest into action. It can be your simple portfolio or even a main website.
This feature will be released in Q1 2026.
Ensure your art is beautifully displayed on any device–from desktops, tablets, and smartphones. Both storefronts and viewing rooms are mobile friendly.
Connect physical shows with digital info via scannable QR codes. Each artwork from a storefront can have a unique label with metadata and a QR code.
Each artwork in your storefront comes with a printable label that can be displayed during exhibitions or shows. Labels include QR codes, making it easy for visitors to access artwork details, submit inquiries, or save works for later—enhancing the viewing experience on-site. Labels are provided in a PDF A4 file.
Choose whether to display artwork prices or keep them hidden. Set visibility and currency individually for each viewing room to suit different collectors, regions, or sales strategies.
Arcual gives art galleries the tools to sell directly to collectors—at shows, online, or in private. From sales offers and pricing control to payments, legal terms, and digital transfers, everything you need to sell professionally is in one place.
Collect purchase requests from collectors directly through your storefront or viewing room.

Track your clients and buyers in a simple system.
This feature will be released in Q1 2026.

This ensures your artwork remains aligned with your values.
Your clients and buyers can complete transactions as guests or create an Arcual account.

Arcual is built specifically for galleries who sell, promote, and manage living contemporary artists across global markets. Unlike generic platforms, Arcual combines private viewing rooms, customizable sales agreements, and collector-friendly storefronts with upcoming features like blockchain-based provenance and resale terms. This means you can handle more of your sales process in one secure, compliant space—with less manual effort and more trust from artists and collectors.
Arcual doesn’t aim to replace your inventory system—unless you want it to. Instead, we fill the missing piece most galleries mention: a frictionless, modern way to promote, negotiate, and close sales online, without juggling PDFs, spreadsheets, and email chains. You can link Arcual to your existing workflows and start using it selectively—for previews, fairs, or protected offers.
Many galleries prefer to build relationships first, then sell. That’s exactly what Arcual supports. Our storefront and viewing room tools allow you to show work, collect interest with inquiries, and then handle pricing, documents, or payments behind the scenes. You can issue a sales agreement then sent it via payment link in an email or give the buyer a QR code to scan to complete the payment on his device.
You choose whether or not to show prices on storefronts and viewing rooms.
You always control visibility and terms.
Based on gallery feedback, we’ve made setup radically simple:
- Bulk upload artworks to your inventory or upload them one by one
- Customize your storefront or private viewing room (logos, header)
- Control what’s visible and what’s not (e.g. artwork and prices)
- Share by email or QR at a fair—no coding, no design team needed
We also provide onboarding calls, templates, and video walkthroughs.
Yes. You can mark works as sold but keep them visible, which is important for social proof and legacy documentation. Many galleries told us they wanted buyers to see what sold quickly—and that collectors often ask for works from past shows. Arcual supports both.
This was a top request—and we’re building toward it. You can already:
- Add banners, logos, and descriptions
- Curate order of artworks (e.g. not just alphabetical)
- Viewers have possibility to filter works by artist, medium, or theme
More brand customization and layout options are coming soon, so your online materials feel like an extension of your real-world space.
In our research, most galleries use Arcual as a digital companion to in-person experiences, especially during previews or fairs. Collectors may not always reply through the link—but they do browse, and often purchase in person or via email. Arcual lets you track interactions, follow up smoothly, and close sales faster.
Arcual supports digital sales agreements with QR code payment options (ideal for fairs), split payment terms, and custom buyer conditions.
You can use it for:
- In-gallery or online previews
- Down payments or deposits
- Editioned or one-of-a-kind works
We know some galleries avoid card payments—so you choose when and how to integrate digital payments.
Arcual is building long-term infrastructure that will allow:
- Trusted provenance (no more PDFs or emails proving ownership)
- Secure resale terms (e.g. artist resale rights)
- Permanent certificates for works, signed and verified digitally
Right now, you don’t need to know anything about blockchain to use Arcual. But when that functionality is ready, your records and sales will already be compatible—no migration needed.
Not at all. In fact, many of our early adopters are small teams looking to reduce complexity—not add it. Arcual was designed to be:
- Clean, intuitive, and low-maintenance
- Easier than Artsy, Squarespace, or Artwork Archive for setting up sales previews
- Supported with onboarding help and human support
We built this so your gallery can focus on relationships and curation—not admin.
You can book a short demo or sign up for a guided onboarding session. Arcual’s team will support you through setup, import, and first offers.
