Why is it important to organize art inventory?
Organizing art inventory is important because it allows artists easy cataloging and storage of artwork within the system, enabling viewers and clients to see new and exciting pieces. It also helps in managing and updating the information associated with each piece, such as details, business type, and pricing. Moreover, by organizing art inventory, artists create a centralized database that not only tracks the physical location and availability of pieces but also safeguards the digital records of creative assets. This becomes particularly crucial when it comes to managing intellectual property rights, including copyrights, trademarks, and licensing agreements.

How can the SMART Manager help artists with inventory management?
Artwork Feature: Organize, Present, and Store
One of the core functionalities of SAM is the Artwork feature, which provides artists with a dedicated space to edit, catalog, store, and present their art within the system. The Artwork tab serves as a centralized hub where artists can effortlessly manage their pieces, ensuring they remain up to date and readily accessible to viewers and clients.
Organization and Showcase
When it comes to organizing pieces and getting their work out for the public to see, SAM makes it easy for the artist. Within the system, not only can an artist edit and customize their artwork display, but they can also create an art Showcase. This Showcase feature allows viewers to get to know the artist by reading their art bios and statements and seeing the artist’s work, all through an elegant online display.
Managing Collections
SAM's Artwork feature streamlines the process of managing collections for artists. With the ability to add, edit, and delete pieces from the system, artists can easily curate and update their collections as their artistic journey evolves. Whether you're arranging artwork for an exhibition, creating a portfolio, or preparing for a client presentation, SAM ensures that your collections are always up to date and readily accessible.
Exhibitions
For artists who frequently participate in exhibitions, SAM's Artwork feature offers invaluable advantages. For artists, life is chaotic; they are constantly getting their physical work into exhibition shows; therefore, their artwork is spread out. With SAM, artists can create virtual exhibitions within the platform, which allows them to track where their artworks are. Exhibition details such as important dates, locations, descriptions, etc. are all part of this Exhibition feature.
