Creating Your First Show

Creating Your First Show

Art shows are the centerpiece of Art Show Hub. Here's how to create one from scratch.

Step 1: Navigate to Shows

Click "Shows" in the sidebar, then click the "+ New Show" button.

Step 2: Fill In Show Details

• Show Title — Give your show a compelling name
• Description — Describe the show's theme, vision, or purpose
• Start Date — When the show goes live to the public
• End Date — When the show closes
• Banner Image — A hero image displayed at the top of your public show page

Step 3: Configure Show Settings

• Voting: enable audience voting on artworks (on the plans that include it)
• Commission — Set a commission rate on sales (none, flat fee, or percentage)
• Quick Links — Add external links that appear on the public show page

Step 4: Assign Artists

Tick the artists in the Artists in This Show checklist when you create or edit the show, or on the show page choose a name and click Add to show. Only artists already on your roster (under Artists) appear, and only assigned artists can submit artwork to the show.

Step 5: Launch

When your show is ready:

1. Ensure artists have submitted their artworks
2. Review and curate submissions (if curation is enabled)
3. Change the show status to "Live"
4. Share the public link with your audience
