Art Festival Artist Application Management — Finally Built Right
Most promoters are managing applications across tools that were never designed for art festivals. Brakebee's application system was built from the ground up for how shows actually work.
The best applications don't start with a form. They start with a system.
Most festival promoters are running applications on tools built for generic use cases — generic forms, generic pipelines, generic email sequences. They work, technically. But they weren't designed for the specific rhythm of a call for artists, a jurying process, and a show.
Brakebee's application system was built from the ground up for art festivals. Every screen, every workflow, every automated message is designed around how shows actually run.
Everything in one screen.
From the moment you publish your call for artists to the moment you send the last acceptance email, everything happens inside Brakebee.
- Publish your call for artists — with jurying criteria, booth pricing, and category limits built in
- Collect applications with artist portfolios, images, and custom question responses
- Score submissions individually or as a team, with notes attached to each record
- Accept, waitlist, or decline with one click — status updates trigger automatically
- Artists get immediate, professional notifications without you writing a single email
A jurying experience your artists notice.
Artists apply to a lot of shows. They remember the ones that communicate clearly and the ones that go silent after submission. Brakebee keeps artists informed at every stage — automatically — so you look professional without the follow-up overhead.
The artist-facing experience is clean, mobile-friendly, and branded to your event. No third-party logos. No generic forms that make your show look like everyone else's.
Your applications. Your data. Your roster.
Every artist who applies to any of your shows on Brakebee builds into a single, searchable roster. Their history, their media, their communication record — all of it persists from show to show. You don't start from scratch next year. You pick up where you left off.
See it in action.
Brakebee is available now at introductory pricing for festival promoters. The application system is fully included — no add-ons, no per-application fees beyond the standard 5% transaction rate.
