An online exhibition room for one series
One series. One room. Hung properly.
Onewall turns a body of paintings into an online show that visitors walk piece by piece: an opening statement, a wall label for every work, a closing note and a price list that prints on one page. It runs in the browser, with no account and no server.
Free. No sign-up. Your paintings stay in your browser until you export them.
Mara Ellison Last Boat Out, 2025 Oil on linen · 100 × 140 cm $8,800
The walk
Visitors see your work in your order, one piece at a time.
The show opens with your statement. Then each painting gets the screen to itself, with its wall label beside it: title, year, medium, size, your words, and the price or a quiet red dot for sold. Previous and Next, or the arrow keys, walk the wall. Escape steps back to see the whole room.

How it works
Hang a show in an evening.
-
Write the opening.
Give the show a title, your name, the dates and an opening statement. Visitors read it before they see a single painting, the way they would at the door of a gallery.
-
Hang the pieces.
Add each painting with a photo or a link to one, and write its wall label. Then set the hanging order: move pieces up and down until the wall reads the way you want it to.
-
Open the doors.
Visitors walk the show from your statement to your closing note. When you're done, export the whole exhibition as one file to keep, move to another browser or hand to whoever builds your site.

For the visitor
- A walk, not a grid.
- One painting at a time, from your opening statement to your closing note. Previous and Next sit in a bar at the foot of the screen on a phone, where a thumb can reach them.
- Walks by keyboard.
- Left and right arrows move along the wall. Escape opens the room overview. Every step is announced to screen readers: 'Piece 4 of 8: Ebb.' ←→Esc
- The room overview.
- Every piece in hanging order, numbered, as a grid of thumbnails. Jump in anywhere.
- Wall labels that do the talking.
- Title, year, medium and size in centimetres, your label text, and the price, 'Sold', 'Reserved', 'Not for sale' or 'Price on request'.
For the artist
- A Studio, not a dashboard.
- Edit the show's details, add and remove pieces, write the labels, and move each piece up or down the hanging order. Photos are resized in the browser before they're stored.
- A room sheet that prints.
- Every piece, its details and its price, on one A4 page. Print it for the opening night or save it as a PDF to send to a collector.
- Your show in one file.
- Export the whole exhibition as a JSON bundle and import it anywhere Onewall runs. The bundle is checked on the way in, so a broken file can't break the show.
- No account, no server.
- Everything lives in your browser's storage. Nothing is uploaded, tracked or shared until you choose to.
See it running
This is the real thing.
Below is Onewall itself with the sample show loaded. Walk it, open the room sheet, or step into the Studio and rehang the wall. Anything you change stays in this browser.
Thank you for walking the shore with me. Now hang yours.
That first line is the closing note from the sample show. Yours goes there. Onewall is free and runs in any modern browser.
