focalSUITE™ for Artists and Galleries
A unique suite of tools created for artists to organize, find and share their artwork and other digital assets. Great for galleries representing multiple artists as well.
What are Digital Assets?
Digital Assets are intellectual properties held in “digital” format. They include, photos, sketches, architectural plans and drawings, critical documents and other valuable digital resources.
How does focalSUITE work?
Digital Assets are uploaded to our secure servers where they are “tagged” by you with descriptors that identify and catalogue the assets. These descriptors enable rapid search and retrieval of your assets and facilitates assembly for easy grouping, viewing and sharing. You may also upload entire folders or groups of assets at one time, creating duplicate organization of your assets instantly accessible online.
How can focalSUITE help me make money?
focalSUITE gives you the ability to sell your artwork online, either as originals or reproductions, however your studio works. You control the public display of your work and decide what is for sale, with the click of a mouse, you can add an item and remove others. This creates a “virtual art gallery” with the organization, tagged descriptors and distinct attributes that serve as your online inventory of your work for your own viewing and for sharing with others either publicly or privately, as you wish.
