Welcome to Artbase Studio
Artbase Studio is a multi-tenant SaaS platform designed specifically for independent artists, illustrators, and makers who sell their work online. It consolidates the fragmented tooling artists currently juggle into a single, purpose-built platform.
What is Artbase Studio?
Artbase Studio provides everything you need to run your art business:
- Public Artist Storefronts — Customizable websites for selling original art, prints, digital downloads, and commissions
- Unified Order Management — Aggregate orders from direct sales and external marketplaces (Etsy, Gumroad) into a single view
- Inventory Control — Track stock across all channels with automatic sync
- Creator Hub Mobile App — A Flutter-based iOS/Android app for managing your business on the go
- Email & Newsletter Tools — Capture subscribers and send campaigns without leaving the platform
- Analytics Dashboard — Unified metrics across all your sales channels
Who is Artbase For?
Artbase Studio is built for:
- Independent artists selling original work, prints, or digital products
- Small art studios (1-5 people) who need shared access and collaboration
- Illustrators and designers with audiences across multiple platforms
- Crafters and makers who sell handmade goods
Why Choose Artbase?
Artists currently juggle Etsy, Gumroad, their own website, spreadsheets for inventory, Mailchimp for newsletters, and Linktree for social links. Artbase Studio replaces this fragmentation with a single, purpose-built platform that understands the art business.
