Art Workflow

Governed Publishing For Catalogued Collections

Galleries, museums, art fairs, and cultural programs already track their works, events, and exhibitions in Airtable or a comparable base. The slow, error-prone, and risky part is everything between the spreadsheet and the live website: writing the titles and wall-text summaries, tagging and categorizing, producing accessible alt text for every image, and pushing clean entries and assets into the CMS without a published mistake.

Art Workflow is the pipeline that governs that path. It ingests records from your Airtable base, uses AI to draft the enrichment fields, routes every draft to a human reviewer who must approve before anything publishes, and then uploads the approved entries and assets to your CMS. Each step writes a tamper-evident record, so the institution always has an auditable account of what changed, who approved it, and when.

Built From A Real Operations Problem

The tool began as a working pipeline ETHRAEON built to solve a concrete art-world publishing problem: a team kept its events and works in Airtable, needed consistent enrichment and accessible alt text on every record, and could not afford a wrong entry going live on a public cultural surface. The original build proved the pattern. Art Workflow is the generalized, sellable product of that pattern, rebuilt so any cultural-operations team can deploy it against its own base, its own enrichment standards, and its own CMS.

The defect it removes is the same one every catalogue team carries: manual enrichment is slow and inconsistent, fully automated enrichment is fast but ungoverned and publishes errors, and neither approach leaves a clean record. Art Workflow keeps the speed of AI drafting while keeping a human in final authority and a verifiable trail under the result.

The Four-Stage Governed Pipeline

Three Durable Properties

Cultural institutions increasingly carry accessibility obligations (accessible alt text on public image content) and provenance and accountability expectations on what they publish. Art Workflow supplies the mechanism that turns those obligations into a routine, recorded step in the publishing flow rather than a manual afterthought, while keeping the curatorial voice under human control.

Tiers For Cultural-Operations Teams

Art Workflow is sold on a tier ladder sized to the publishing cadence of the institution. The platform subscription covers the runtime and the human-review interface; component and sovereign licensing cover deeper integration and on-premise deployment.
