For painters, illustrators and makers
Every date is already pinned to your wall.
The card from the gallery. The fair confirmation. The note saying which Saturdays the studio is open. It is all there by the door, and it is only readable by people standing in the room.
Event Schedule is that wall with an address on it.

Exhibitions, studio and teaching are three sub-schedules. The colours are the product's own way of sorting a page, not a decoration on this one.
The year
Nine months of work, one wall.
A solo show, a fair booth, a studio that opens once a month, a workshop with eight places in it. Four different kinds of thing, pinned to the same board, on one link you only ever have to hand out once.
| Show | Where | Dates | Set up as |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ten Windows Exhibitions | Bell Street Gallery | Mar 6 to Apr 4 | One event, accepted onto both pages |
| Open studio Studio | The studio | First Sat, Apr to Nov | One recurring event, two dates removed |
| Spring Art Fair Exhibitions | Riverside Fair | May 8 to 11 | One event, at the fair as the venue |
| Monotype workshop Teaching | The studio | Sat Jun 20 | Eight places, plus questions at checkout Pro |
| Slow Water Exhibitions | Kiln Room | Sep 4 to Oct 12 | A Draft until the gallery announces it |
| Studio visits Studio | The studio | By appointment | Bookable slots, not a fixed date |
| Winter print sale Studio | The studio | Dec 5 to 7 | Free to attend, with a capacity |
The tape is the colour of the strand it belongs to, and its position comes from the same dates the row prints. Only one thing here needs the Pro plan, the workshop's own questions at checkout. Selling the places does not: the free plan sells twenty-five paid tickets a month.
What a pin holds
A date is not the only thing on the card.
Four things the wall in the studio already does, and how the page does them. All four are on the free plan.
The Saturdays repeat
One recurring event covers the whole run: pick the pattern, every week or the same weekday each month, set the hours, and give it an end, either a closing date or a number of dates. Date exceptions take out the two weekends you are away, so a change to the pattern is not a rebuild.
The show nobody has announced
Keep the event as a Draft and it stays off your public page until the gallery has sent the invitations. Then publish it. A sub-schedule cannot do this, because a sub-schedule has no visibility of its own; hiding is what Draft is for.
Prints, paintings and teaching, sorted
Sub-schedules split one page into strands, each with its own colour and its own link. Send a school the workshops and a gallery the exhibitions, from a page you only maintain once.
The gallery already typed it
When a gallery lists you on their event it arrives on your schedule and waits for you to accept it. Accept it and the same entry shows on both pages, so the dates cannot end up saying two different things.
Where you have shown
The galleries go up on the wall too.
Your page header can be a wall of the logos of the venues hosting your events, each claimed one linking through to that venue's own schedule. It builds itself out of shows you have already entered, so the exhibition history at the top of your page is a side effect of keeping the dates straight.
- Only the shows you both agreed to - A venue appears once you have accepted their event, and a venue that runs its own schedule has to have accepted yours too. Nothing goes on your wall over somebody's objection.
- Drafts stay off it - Draft, cancelled and unlisted events are excluded, so a show that has not been announced does not leak out through the header.
- You set the order - Drag the ones that matter to the front. The rest fall in alphabetically behind them.
Free Every plan. It is a banner-header option on your schedule, not an add-on.

A venue needs a picture on its own schedule to appear, and the wall holds up to thirty-six of them. A venue that runs a claimed schedule links through to it; one you entered yourself is just the logo. Names here are illustrative, and the real wall shows the logos rather than the names.
After the opening
The wall fills up on its own.
People photograph an opening whether you ask them to or not, and the pictures end up somewhere you will never see them. They can go on the event instead.
What they send
A name, an email, and a photograph
Visitors add photos, videos and comments to the event without making an account. If you would rather they signed in, a per-schedule setting asks for an account instead.
Photographs
Of the room, the work, the crowd
Video
A short clip of the space
Comments
What people said about a piece
What you let through
Nothing is public until you say so
Everything lands in an approval queue first. You are the editor of your own page, which matters when the work in the photograph is yours.
Star ratings and written feedback after the event are a separate Pro feature, if you want to know what people actually thought.
Free Photos, videos and comments with the approval queue, on every plan. Pro Removes the 25-photo cap and adds the per-event zip download.
Putting a price on it
A free opening, a paid workshop, an hour in the studio.
Three different ways of counting people, and the honest answer about which plan each one is on.
Exhibitions
The opening, free but counted
FreeTurn on registration and put a capacity on it. The count is kept per date, so a full first Saturday leaves the next one untouched, and the registration page shows how many places are left.
Teaching
The workshop, sold in advance
FreeNamed ticket types with their own price and quantity, counted per occurrence date. Scan a QR code at the door and take the money through your own Stripe account. Free sells twenty-five paid places a month; Pro lifts the cap and adds your own questions at checkout.
Studio
Studio visits, by appointment
FreePublish bookable slots instead of a fixed date. Set your weekly hours, how far apart slots start, a buffer between them, and per-date overrides for the days you are away or installing. One bookable type is free; Pro adds more.
Event Schedule takes nothing out of a ticket price on any plan. You pay Stripe what Stripe charges, and the rest arrives in your own account. There is no seat map and no numbered seats anywhere in the product, so a workshop is places, not positions.
Telling people
One address, and a way to write to it.
Nothing here posts on your behalf. Somebody follows you, and then you decide when there is something worth an email.
Followers and newsletters
Following puts a name and an email on your list, and you write and send the newsletter yourself. Free covers 10 emails a month, Pro 100 and Enterprise 1,000, counted per recipient rather than per send.
A QR code for the door
Download a QR code that opens your schedule and put it on the show card, the price list, or a card by the door of the studio. On every plan.
Embedded in your own site
Drop the calendar into the portfolio site you already have. The dates on your site and the dates on your schedule are then the same dates.
Google, Outlook and CalDAV
Two-way sync, so the install week, the opening and the fair sit in the calendar you actually look at, and a change in either place reaches the other.
Who is reading
Built-in analytics on your schedule: which shows people opened, and how the page is being found.
A picture to post
Generate one shareable image out of the flyers of your upcoming events, up to twenty at a time, with your own header and footer text and the date on each if you want it. An event without a flyer image is not in it.

Asked in the studio.
Is Event Schedule free for visual artists?
Yes. The wall itself costs nothing: your public page and its permanent link, recurring open studio dates with individual dates taken out, sub-schedules with their own colour and their own link, Drafts that stay off the page until you announce, the header wall of the venues you have shown with, two-way Google, Outlook and CalDAV calendar sync, an embeddable calendar, built-in analytics, a downloadable QR code for your schedule, free RSVP with a capacity, one bookable appointment type, QR check-in at the door, and up to 10 newsletter emails a month, counted per recipient rather than per send. Selling paid places is free too, up to 25 a month. The Pro plan at $5 a month lifts that cap and adds event graphics, your own questions at checkout and more appointment types. Event Schedule charges zero platform fees on ticket sales on every plan.
Can I list exhibitions, open studios and art fairs together?
Yes, and you can keep them apart at the same time. Sub-schedules sort one page into strands, each with its own colour and its own link, so you can send a gallery the exhibitions and a school the workshops without splitting yourself into two pages. To be clear about what a sub-schedule is: it organises and colour-codes, it does not hide anything. If a show is not announced yet, keep the event as a Draft.
How do collectors and art lovers find out about a new show?
Two ways, and you control both. Anyone can follow your schedule, which puts their name and email on your list, and you write and send the newsletter yourself when there is something to say. Nothing goes out in your name automatically, and nobody is emailed on your behalf. The other way is the link: your schedule has one permanent address you can put in a bio, print on a show card, hand out as a QR code, or embed in the portfolio site you already have.
Do my open studio Saturdays have to be entered one at a time?
No. One recurring event covers the whole run: pick the pattern, every week or the same weekday each month, set the hours, and give the recurrence an end, either a date or a number of dates. Date exceptions take out the weekends you are away without rebuilding anything, and every date is a real occurrence with its own page, its own iCal file and its own RSVP count.
Can I sell places at a workshop or a ticketed opening?
Yes, and the free plan sells the first 25 paid places each month. Create as many named ticket types as the event needs, each with its own price and quantity. The quantity is counted per occurrence date, so a full March does not stop April selling. Check people in with a QR code at the door on any plan, and take the money through your own Stripe account. Pro at $5 a month removes the 25-a-month cap and adds your own questions at checkout. Event Schedule charges zero platform fees either way, so what you keep is the price less what Stripe charges.
What happens to the photographs people take at the opening?
They can go on the event. Visitors can add photos, videos and comments with just a name and an email, and everything lands in an approval queue first, so nothing is public until you have looked at it. A per-schedule setting can require an account instead. Free schedules hold up to 25 photos; the Pro plan removes the cap and lets you download an event's approved photos as a zip.
Can I show a gallery's exhibition without retyping it?
Yes. When a gallery lists you on their event, it arrives on your schedule and waits for you to accept it. Accept it and the same entry appears on both pages, so the dates cannot end up saying two different things. Nothing shows on your page that you have not agreed to.
Free to start
Give the wall an address.
The page, the dates, the gallery logos and the calendar sync cost nothing, and so do the first twenty-five paid places you sell each month. Lifting that cap is five dollars a month, and none of the ticket price comes to us.
