Know what you are ready for.
Upstudio reads your exhibition record, tells you which calls you are a real candidate for, and helps you with the writing, pricing and paperwork that sits behind every application.
Your record, read properly
Add your exhibitions, awards, collections and education. Upstudio weighs them the way the field does: an institutional solo counts differently from a group show in an artist-run space, and last year counts for more than eight years ago. You get a picture of where your practice actually sits, and what would move it.
Ready, building towards,
or not yet
Every opportunity is checked against your record and sorted into three answers, not two. The calls you are a real candidate for. The ones you are close to, with what is missing named. And the ones that are not yours yet, kept visible so you know what you are aiming at.
Most listings sites hide what you cannot enter. That is useful once and useless after, because it tells you nothing about the shape of your own career.
Upstudio keeps the opportunities you are not ready for in view, and says why: the record wants a solo show, or two more institutional group exhibitions, or a collection acquisition. What is missing is named, so an aspirational listing becomes a target rather than a wall.
Every match shows its reasoning. If Upstudio cannot say why something fits, it does not claim that it does.
Then it does the part
that eats up your week
Finding the opportunity is the fast bit. Everything after it is what keeps artists from applying at all.
Written from your own material
Statements, proposals and applications drafted from your record and from the writing you have already published, so the draft sounds like you and not like software. Export as PDF or Word, with the sections you want and nothing else.
Priced with reasoning
A considered asking price by medium and size, adjusted for where your career signals put you, with the working shown and the history kept. Informational, never an appraisal, but you stop guessing, and your prices stop contradicting each other.
Packaged to their spec
Images resized, converted and renamed to the naming convention each application asks for, with the CV and image list exported alongside as PDF or Word. The hour before every deadline, gone.
A win updates
your CV the same day
Mark an application successful and it lands in your record, your CV, and the next assessment. The thing most artists rebuild from scratch every twelve months maintains itself.
