Platform Updates: December 2025

By EntryThingy Team

We've been busy making EntryThingy work better for you. This month brought major improvements to how you find and filter opportunities, plus some smart new features that help you discover what you're looking for faster.

Better Filtering, Better Results

Finding the right opportunities just got a lot easier. We've completely redesigned how filters work on the calls list.

New filter options include:

  • Filter by state to find local opportunities
  • Filter by medium (painting, sculpture, photography, etc.)
  • Multi-select source filtering - pick multiple sources at once
  • Sort options to organize results your way

The best part? You can now combine filters. Want to see all sculpture opportunities in California from multiple sources? Just check the boxes and watch the results update instantly.

Try it out: Head to your calls list and explore the new filter options in the sidebar.

Smarter Recommendations When Calls Close

Nothing's more frustrating than finding a perfect opportunity only to discover the deadline has passed. We fixed that.

Now when you click on a closed call, you'll see a helpful modal showing similar opportunities that are still open. Same medium, similar themes, active deadlines.

What this means for you: Less time hunting for alternatives when your first choice isn't available anymore.

Expanded Opportunity Discovery

We've added support for finding opportunities from many more sources. Our system now automatically discovers and adds new calls from art organizations across the web.

This means more opportunities in your feed without you having to hunt them down on individual websites. We're talking about calls from galleries, art centers, and organizations you might never have found otherwise.

The result: Your opportunity feed keeps growing with relevant calls, even from smaller organizations.

Small Changes, Big Impact

We also made the "Include past calls" checkbox actually work (oops), cleaned up duplicate filter options, and made sure all the technical stuff behind the scenes runs smoother.

Plus, we added an FAQ right on the calls list page reminding everyone that EntryThingy is completely free to use. Because it is, and always will be.
