Every date is already pinned to your wall.

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, shareable graphics of your upcoming shows, 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 your own questions at checkout and more appointment types. Event Schedule charges zero platform fees on ticket sales on every plan.

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.

By email, by calendar and by link. Anyone can leave their email on your schedule, and once they confirm it they hear about the dates you add yourself, as one digest rather than a message per show. A show a gallery lists for you is not in that digest, so that is the one worth a newsletter, which you write and send in your own words. A collector who would rather not give an address can subscribe to your schedule as a live calendar from its page, so every show on it, the galleries' included, turns up in their own calendar. On a ticketed opening that is not on sale yet, the event page also offers "Tell me when tickets go on sale": one email when they do, one if you cancel, and a reminder 48 hours before, plus any change notice you send. And there 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.

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.

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 or PayPal account, or as cash, a payment link or Invoice Ninja. 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 the processor's fee, and a Stripe or PayPal sale can be refunded in full or in part from the Sales page on every plan.

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.

Yes. When a gallery lists you on their event, it arrives on your schedule and waits for you to accept it, unless you have added that gallery to your Approved Schedules, in which case it goes straight on. 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.

The listing creates a page in your name. It says which schedule created it and that you have not claimed it, each date on it is credited to the schedule that added it, and it stays out of search engines until you claim it. Claim it by signing in with the email address on it: the page becomes your schedule, and the galleries that already list you stay approved, so their dates keep appearing. If the page carries no email address or phone number, there is nothing to check a claim against, so ask the gallery to send you an invitation. If the page is not you at all, "This is not me" asks for it to come down.
