Online booking for performance artists
Your work is shown in galleries, festivals and public spaces, but around it there are moments people can book: a movement or voice workshop, an open studio visit, a mentoring session for a younger artist, a first call with a venue about a commission. Put those on one booking page and stop arranging each one by email — €5/month, everything included.

What a performance artist can open for booking
Performances themselves are usually programmed with a gallery, a festival or an institution, and Book doesn't replace that. What it handles well is the rest of your practice that runs on appointments: workshops with a set number of participants, studio visits for small groups, one-to-one mentoring or portfolio reviews, and first conversations with people who want to commission a piece or book a private performance.
Each of these becomes a service on your page, with a short description and an optional price. You decide which dates you open, and people choose among them without writing to you first.
Workshops and studio visits with limited places
A workshop depends on the room and on how many people you can work with properly. Set the number of places on each workshop slot: every participant books one place, and when the slot is full it no longer appears on your page. The same works for open studio visits, where you may want eight people at a time rather than a crowd. If someone signs up by message instead, book a place for them yourself from your calendar.
Use the service description for what matters: comfortable clothes, what to bring, whether the session is filmed, access to the space.
Setting up your page
- Create your services: workshops, studio visits, mentoring, portfolio reviews, first calls about commissions.
- Open slots on the days you are in the studio, with the right number of places for group sessions.
- Repeat regular sessions: create a slot once and repeat it on the weekdays you choose until an end date, for example a mentoring slot every Tuesday during a residency.
- Share the link on your website, in your bio and in the programme of the venue that hosts you.
When you travel for residencies and festivals
Your page shows times in your business's time zone, with its name displayed, so people abroad know which hour they are booking. When you are away on a residency, simply don't open slots for those weeks, or open workshop dates in the city where you'll be.
People book without an account and receive a confirmation email; you receive an email for each new booking. Reschedule or cancel from your bookings list and let the person know. Your calendar syncs with Google, iPhone or Mac. Book doesn't sell tickets or take payments: it handles appointments and places, for €5/month, everything included, with unlimited bookings, no commission and no contract.
One price. Everything in it.
