Pinterest for art galleries
Works that keep circulating after the opening
Collectors browse slowly — medium, scale, how a piece lives on a wall — then search the gallery or artist by name. A pin from last season can still be the reason they walk in.
Most galleries dump every hanging into one Exhibition board. We map boards to how people actually search: abstract painting, sculpture for living rooms, photography shows, works on paper — then keep the archive in circulation.
Free audit is a written account review — separate from the $1,100 onboarding.
Why galleries belong on Pinterest
They search the work, not the program
Queries look like "large abstract painting for living room", "ceramic sculpture pedestal", "photography exhibition [city]" — not your gallery name. Boards named after those phrases reach collectors who have not shortlisted a dealer yet.
Collecting is slow browsing
A save during an exhibition can still be open when the collector is ready to inquire. Instagram stories die with the opening. A strong installation pin keeps circulating after the hang comes down.
Home context is a different search
The white cube and the collector wall are two intents. A piece in a room earns a different save than the same piece in the gallery. We produce both instead of only the opening-night shot.
The visit often starts off-platform
Collectors rarely buy inside Pinterest. They save the work, then search the gallery or artist. Off-platform branded search is expected — we plan for it.

Board architecture for galleries
A board called Current Exhibition or Artists gets almost no searches. We name boards after medium, scale, and how the work lives in a room — then fill each from the archive you already photographed.
Large abstract paintings
Scale + medium search — intercepts collectors furnishing a wall, not reading the program.
Sculpture for living rooms
Home-context board — different keyword map from the white-cube hang.
Photography exhibitions [city]
Geo + medium — city galleries rank for the show type, not the dealer name.
Works on paper
Entry price and intimate viewing — separate cluster from large painting.
Ceramic sculpture
Object / craft crossover — collectors searching vessels, not canvases.
Art installed in homes
Lifestyle context — the save that happens after the opening is over.
Nine compositions, nine collector intents
A painting pin, a home-install pin, and a works-on-paper pin serve different searches. We pull from your exhibition photography and produce the missing crops — 100 to 200 pins a month, with short video of hangs where saves double versus static.
Abstract in the cube
Medium + scale pin — highest save among wall-planning collectors.
Sculpture
Three-dimensional search — separate keyword map from painting boards.
Photography hang
Exhibition-type board — city + medium, not dealer name.
Work in a home
Collector-wall context — different intent from the white cube.
Ceramic object
Vessel / object crossover — craft collectors searching off-canvas.
Installation
Show pin that keeps circulating after the hang comes down.
Gallery at dusk
Place pin — destination search for walk-ins and fair weeks.
Works on paper
Intimate viewing room — entry price, separate from large painting.
Close viewing
Surface and light — the save that happens when someone leans in.

FAQ
Stories die with the opening. Collectors browse for months — medium, scale, how a piece lives on a wall — then search the gallery. We treat Pinterest as search inventory for the archive, not another social post.
Start with the audit
The free audit shows which medium and scale queries your program could rank, which boards are named after the gallery instead of the search, and three board clusters built from hangs you already photographed. No charge, no retainer required.

What counts as a normal save rate?
Video vs static, month-by-month ramp for a new account, pin lifespan, and specs. Benchmarks so you can tell whether the problem is yours or the platform's.
