ARTERNAL allows you to share curated artworks digitally through custom-designed Viewing Rooms. This feature enables clients to view artworks virtually while you maintain control over access and information visibility, such as prices and statuses. Viewing Rooms can be created for Lists, Exhibitions, and Fairs.
Understanding Online vs. Private Viewing Rooms:
Online Viewing Rooms:
An Online Viewing Room allows you to share your works with the general public, making it a great way to showcase your artwork and invite inquiries. The link can be shared through your website, emails, or social media.
Inquiry Process:
Clients must enter their email before accessing the room. Once inside, they can click Inquire to express interest and submit their inquiry details.
