How It Works
Artistek

One platform. Every role.

Promoters, artists, musicians, and venues each have a tailored experience on Artistek — designed around the real work of producing live music, not just the transaction.

Select your role to see exactly how the platform works for you.

Event producers & show organizers

Promoters are the architects of live music. Artistek gives you everything you need to plan events, partner with venues, book a full artist lineup, and manage production — all from one platform.

  1. 1

    Create Your Promoter Profile

    Your promoter profile is your identity on Artistek. Add your bio, past events, genre focus, and social links. Venues and artists will review your profile when you reach out — make it count.

    • Add your background, past shows, and experience
    • List the genres and event types you specialize in
    • Link your social channels and portfolio
  2. 2

    Plan Your Event

    Create an event with all the details — name, date, venue location, expected attendance, total budget, and artist budget. You can start building your lineup before the venue partnership is confirmed.

    • Set event date, start/end times, and capacity
    • Define your total budget and per-artist budget
    • Add venue location details or search for a partner venue
  3. 3

    Partner with a Venue

    Send a partnership request to your chosen venue. The venue reviews your event details and approves or proposes changes via the governance workflow. Once accepted, you're official.

    • Send event-scoped partnership requests from your console
    • Venue reviews and approves the event via governance tools
    • Accepted partnerships automatically form a standing connection
  4. 4

    Build Your Artist Lineup

    Invite artists to specific slots on your lineup. Set the performance time, duration, load-in, sound check, fee, and whether the fee is negotiable. Artists accept, decline, or counter-offer directly.

    • Create lineup slots with full schedule details
    • Set per-slot fees and toggle fee negotiability
    • Track acceptance status for every artist in real time
  5. 5

    Manage via Event Console

    Your Event Console is the nerve center of your show. Chat with the venue, message artists individually or as a group, review governance status, and coordinate production details — all in one place.

    • Group event chat, private venue channel, and per-artist threads
    • Governance tab tracks approval status and workflow
    • Production notes, stage labels, and billing roles per slot
  6. 6

    Run the Show & Pay Your Artists

    On event day, everything is confirmed and ready. After the show, the platform automatically releases escrow payments to each artist. No chasing invoices, no manual splits, no awkward conversations.

    • Escrow protects artist payments before the event
    • Automatic per-artist payout after event completion
    • Post-event reviews build your reputation as a promoter
