Artifax Software

Timothy Nathan and Nina Kaye formed Artifax Software in 1986, originally specialising in software for artists’ managers called ARTIFAX (ARTi filoFAX), later renamed ArtifaxAgent. This was adopted by most of the leading artists’ managers in the UK and subsequently in Europe, the USA and the Far East. Soon afterwards, development began on a new product for room booking and resource management for the Wigmore Hall in London and the Grieghallen in Norway. ShowRoom, now ArtifaxEvent, became accepted as the industry standard for performing arts centres, used by The Royal Albert Hall, The Barbican and The Royal Festival Hall, as well as many other concert halls worldwide. National museums, galleries, theatres, cathedrals, government and local authority buildings all rapidly adopted the software. Later, working in conjunction with the Edinburgh International Festival, ArtifaxEvent was expanded to cater for arts festivals. We now have clients all over the world—from auditoria to zoos—using ArtifaxEvent and ArtifaxAgora to help their businesses thrive. Artifax Software’s management team comprises Sarah Verge (Managing Director), Andy Wheeler (Development Director), Adam Pepper (Head of Products) and Tim Leighton (Head of Customer Services). Timothy and Nina, who still own Artifax Software, are not actively involved in the day-to-day running of the business, instead providing support as Non-Executive Directors.
