Consignments

Consignments and consignment agreements are used whenever artists loan their artworks to galleries or exhibitions for sale or display.

Valise helps you keep track of consignments. You can create a consignment within Valise and specify the artworks, consignee, start date, and end date.

A few ways that Valise is helpful for consignments:

• When creating a consignment, Valise will warn you if any of the consignment dates for a given artwork overlap with an existing consignment
• You can upload any documents you’d like to keep track of, such as a consignment agreement, and keep them alongside the consignment information.
• When you record the sale of an artwork in Valise, you can see which artworks from a consignment have sold in a single view.
• For the Pro plan, we’ll send consignment reminders a few days before a consignment is about to expire.

Reminders

For long consignments, it’s easy to forget when the consignment ends. Valise automatically sends you an email a 3 days before the consignment expires as a reminder. This can help you extend the consignment or coordinate the return of your works.

If you don’t want these notifications, you can go to your Notification settings and turn off Consignment reminders.
