Arttaca is a business-to-business software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform serving artists, galleries, art dealers, collectors, and other organizations involved in the art market. The platform provides tools for managing art inventories, presenting works, maintaining client relationships, and facilitating sales and transactions.
History
Arttaca was founded in 2021 by Michael Lau and Daniel Huete. The company was established to provide digital infrastructure and management tools for participants in the art industry. Its platform subsequently expanded to include functions for artists, galleries, dealers, collectors, and museums within a single system.
Platform
Arttaca's software provides inventory and collection-management tools for artworks. Artists can use the platform to organize their works, create private presentations, and manage sales and payments. Collectors and museums can catalog artworks and maintain information relating to provenance and other contextual details.
Galleries and art dealers can use the platform to manage inventories, create curated presentations for clients, issue quotations and invoices, and manage transactions. The platform also includes customer relationship management (CRM) and analytics tools.
Other features include Collections, which allows users to organize artworks into curated groups; email newsletters for communication with collectors and gallery contacts; and an iOS application. The platform also provides Open Calls, through which galleries and other organizations can administer submission-based opportunities for artists.
Editorial
Arttaca operates an editorial program featuring artists and galleries within its network. Its editorial content includes series such as Spotlight, Visits, and Dialogues, which focus on artists, exhibitions, and conversations within the art sector.
Grants and open calls
In addition to providing tools for organizations to operate their own open calls, Arttaca operates grant and open-call programs for artists. These programs provide funding and opportunities intended to support the development and presentation of new artistic work.
Market position
Arttaca operates in the art-management software sector, alongside platforms such as Artlogic. Its services overlap with established gallery-management software in areas including artwork inventory, customer relationship management, sales, invoicing, and mobile access. Arttaca has also incorporated editorial content and artist-support programs into its platform.
