Today Artbutler is one of the leading providers in the field of integrated software solutions for galleries, artists and collections. Artbutler provides all required functionalities in one system, from contact date management, through image data capturing up to exhibition planning and storage management. Proposals and invoices are generated with one click only. What has happened? What’s happening? What will happen? Artbutler is providing the answers.

Artbutler is located in Berlin – the innovation stronghold and creative metropolis, is the ideal location for inspirational interaction with the international art world. The clients are anyone involved professionally or as a private passion with artists and art, for example gallery owners, artists, studios / workshops and collectors.

Originally formed out of project collaboration with the Berlin gallery Contemporary Fine Arts (CFA), artbutler since then developed its service and solution portfolio focussing strongly on the specific needs of the art world and the users.
