Dedicated Project Manager
Free Tier $0"I format CaFÉ public art portfolios, audit bronze casting edition numbers in Artwork Archive, track art crate customs, and supervise client invoices."
Trusted by Fine Art Sculptors, Public Monument Artists & Studio Directors
See how sculptors, ceramic artists, and bronze fabricators eliminate administrative studio drag, win municipal public art calls, and keep gallery inventory spotless with SageDoer.
"Applying for municipal public art RFQs on CaFÉ used to take days of resizing photos, compiling line-item fabrication budgets, and formatting engineering resumes. My SageDoer VA handles our entire proposal pipeline. We submitted 4 public art tenders last month alone and won an $85K commission."
"We have cast bronze sculptures consigned across 7 galleries in Europe and North America. Keeping track of edition numbers, consignment agreements, and certificates of authenticity in Artwork Archive was chaotic. Our VA audit keeps every bronze edition accounted for to the penny."
"The single dedicated Project Manager is what makes SageDoer completely distinct from Upwork. Freelancers on other platforms had no clue what a bronze foundry patina schedule was or how to book a climate-controlled art shuttle. SageDoer's PM manages our foundry liaison and crate logistics seamlessly."
"Preparing for our art fair booth in Miami used to induce panic. Our full-time VA at $6/hour generated tear sheets in InDesign, coordinated specialized art freight crates, logged collector contacts, and sent deposit invoices in QuickBooks. I can finally just focus on creating."
