Collecist

We pave the way to your exhibition.

Wherever your exhibition opens, we reach the art lovers, collectors and gallery-goers in that neighbourhood with ads, and bring those who click to your door. And when the exhibition closes, it stays open on Collecist. You don’t need to be a Collecist artist.

Why does an exhibition stay empty?

Most exhibitions go by unnoticed not because they’re bad, but because word of them never reaches anyone. We work on three moments of your exhibition, each one separately.

Before the opening

UsuallyThe poster sits in a story for a day, seen only by people who already follow you.

With Sergine Yol AçThe announcement starts in the neighbourhood 5–7 days before the opening. The invitation also reaches art lovers who don’t know you yet.

Opening week

UsuallyThose who come are people you know; your close circle drops by once and moves on.

With Sergine Yol AçThe ads switch to “now open”. Whoever clicks gets directions and comes to your door.

Final week

UsuallyThe room goes quiet and the exhibition closes without anyone noticing.

With Sergine Yol AçA “final days” call gathers those who missed it. Once it closes, your exhibition lives on through its permanent page on Collecist.

How far should it reach?

We built the packages around distance: from the street outside your door to announcing your exhibition to collectors around the world.

    The ads end, the exhibition stays.

    Anyone can boost a post. What sets us apart is that Collecist itself stands behind the ad.

    The guest book, now your own list

    Visitors who scan the QR code you place at the entrance leave their name and email of their own accord. When the exhibition closes, you have a list of the people to invite first to your next one. And the guest book’s single question shows how many people the ads brought to your door.

    In every package. It works with explicit consent and a KVKK (Turkish data protection law) privacy notice.

    Permanent exhibition page

    A page for your exhibition on Collecist: works, exhibition text, venue, dates. A record you can share and add to your CV long after the room has emptied.

    In Turkish and English with City, in 8 languages with World.

    Exhibition note

    A short piece on your exhibition from the Collecist editorial desk. It brings a voice and a point of view to both the ads and the exhibition page, so it stops being “just another exhibition”.

    In the World package.

    A second life in the 3D hall

    When the physical exhibition closes, the works remain open to visit in Collecist’s 3D exhibition hall. Those who missed it, those far away and collectors abroad can all step inside.

    In the World package, if the number of works allows.

    Newsletter and showcase

    A place in the Collecist newsletter, sent out in 8 languages, and in the homepage showcase. It reaches readers who are already interested in art, beyond the reach of ads.

    Newsletter with City and World, showcase with World.

    What will you see in the report?

    No hidden costs. On a single page you see how many people you reached, how many clicked, how many came to your door, and where every penny went.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I need to be a Collecist artist?

    No. Anyone with an exhibition opening can apply: artists, galleries, collectives, municipal halls, cafés, hotel lobbies. Whether or not you’re a Collecist member makes no difference.

    When should I start?

    Ideally, get in touch 7–10 days before the opening, as the announcement wave starts ahead of it. If your exhibition has already opened, it’s not too late; we’ll plan around the days left.

    I don’t have a poster or a video. What then?

    We prepare the ad visual from images of your works. If you have a poster, we adapt it to ad formats.

    Where do the ads appear, and who sees them?

    On Instagram and Facebook, in feeds and stories. We map out who sees them together with you: the area around the exhibition, people interested in art, followers of galleries and museums. The World package also adds collector audiences abroad.

    Where does my money go?

    Most of the package goes straight to ads; the rest covers design, management and the report. The breakdown is listed in every package, and in the report you see the spending item by item.

    Is the guest book safe when it comes to personal data?

    The guest book only collects details from visitors who give explicit consent, and it works with a KVKK (Turkish data protection law) privacy notice. The list is shared only with you; Collecist doesn’t use it for anything else.

    What does the free calendar listing include?

    Your exhibition appears on the Collecist Exhibition Calendar and the exhibition map. There are no ads. You can switch to a package later if you like.
