Do you live in Los Angeles and use the GYST software but don't have time to do the data entry? Do you have a large body of work that you need help organizing and archiving? Let GYST help, by hiring our trained GYST data entry manager to input all of your data and images into the software. Additional, GYST makes house calls in Los Angeles, to determine how much you really do or don't have your sh*t together. We work with you to create a package of custom archiving services tailored to your needs. Please see our website for various pricing and premium services available.

Written for visual artists by visual artists, the dynamic GYST v.3.0 software manages all the business-related paperwork for your art career, plus a whole bunch of educational and information resources, too. The software easily lets you keep track of your art, where it is, price, sales, invoices, and more. GYST includes a mailing list section, an area to manage your artist statement, resume, slide labels, and proposals. It also allows you to easily create and print out exhibition checklists, budgets, to do lists. It will guide you through writing a grant or proposal with detailed instructions. Finally, there are over 400 pages of information artists need to know, like resources, links to web sites, suggested readings, and more. Oh, did we mention that GYST is extremely easy to use? Well, it is.
