Spend more time creating.
Artdash takes the applications, helps you and your team pick who gets a slot, and sends the emails and invoices. When a project needs backers first, start a crowdfunding run. It is completely free to use as a way to give back to the community. No strings attached.
From artists who switched
I found artdash a few years ago and genuinely wish I found it sooner. I used to use Google Sheets but it was really clunky. This is way simpler and you can tell it’s actually made for artists🙌 cannot recommend using it more, especially for a large application pool

Ever since I started using Art Dash a few years ago I cannot go back to taking commissions the old fashioned way. Art Dash makes it easy for us to process over 150 applicants in a way that our team can easily review and jury together. The site is constantly growing and adding new features based on artist feedback. This is a must have tool for every artist that takes commissions.

If you're an Artist and use Google Forms for commissions i -really- think you should give ArtDash a try!! I wish i could show behind the scenes how nice the automation is but it'd show client's info…so just trust me on it 🙏

We absolutely love using Artdash for commission openings. Its such a smooth process for us and client. Its aimed just for artists and what we need. Highly recommend using it for opening up for commissions. Clear, reliable, and easy to understand. I hope more artists use it!

Schedule openings and let followers know
Set when an opening starts and ends, and your followers get an email the moment it opens.
- Use your own Google Form or build one here
- Add a cover image and up to 5 portfolio examples
- Openings close on their own when time is up
If your form is hosted somewhere else, you’ll still need to close it there when the opening ends.
