If you are exhibiting work with a gallery where it is available for resale Artlook will guide you through the process of setting up a formal consignment of your work to the gallery, clearly detailing your terms (commission based on sale price or agreed fixed price). The system will automatically generate a consignment note from you to the gallery clearly showing each item, its price and your terms of sale. Once your work is consigned out you can easily track which items are with which gallery and whether or not they are over-due for return.

If your gallery sell one of your items it takes just a couple of clicks of the mouse to mark the item as sold and to generate a formal invoice. That invoice goes into the Accounts section of the program showing as “Outstanding” until such time as you mark it as paid. Used in this way the system can very quickly provide an overview of your sales and the monies which are owed to you at any one time – equally you can get a clear picture of income you might receive through as yet unsold consigned out items.

You can also very quickly create “Events” within Artlook and simply drag the relevant items of work onto the event. In this way you can see which items are in (or were in) which event and at the same time Artlook updates the stock record for each item to show its inclusion, information which can easily be retrieved when you are panning future shows.

You can, of course, also use Events for activities based on your own studio. It literally takes only minutes to create the event, drag the relevant items onto the event, create a price list and/or a full colour catalogue with thumbnail images and print off the wall labels.
