Why Us
Turn Admin Hours
Into Studio Hours
Last updated: 6th June 2025
We asked 500+ artists how they spend their week vs. how they wish they could - here’s what we learnt:
Where artists want to spend their time
- Making art
How artists actually spend their time
- Spreadsheets: Filling out spreadsheets to track stock, sales, and what’s still under your bed
- Repetitive tasks: Rebuilding PDFs every time someone asks to see your work
- Exhibition FOMO: Digging through emails for exhibition deadlines + open calls (and missing them anyway)
- Website Headaches: Wrestling with your clunky website builder that takes longer to update than the piece you posted on there
- Shipping stress: Figuring out shipping & customs rules for every order
- Sales Sleuthing: Copy-pasting emails + digging through old DMs to remember who bought what
- Lost pieces: Losing track of which piece went to which location
- Pricing guesswork: Scouring other artists’ websites to work out how to price your art
- Certificate DIY: Creating certificates of authenticity on Canva
- Copywriting gymnasts: Writing product descriptions that sound like a catalogue
- Juggling platform announcements: Announcing “new stock” across 5 different places
- Admin black holes: Turning “quick admin” into a 4-hour procrastination scroll on IG
We can fix that
Artists told us the same thing again and again: the admin grind is stealing their studio time. Studio Yards keeps the admin in check, so you can stay in flow.
