How to Download Varnam
The Varnam theme is available for download here at Ultrapack. To install it, go to Online Store > Themes > Add theme in the Shopify dashboard and upload the compressed file. After that, register the technique, size and print run of each artwork before publishing the collection.
Anyone who already exhibits in a physical gallery gets a showcase that treats each artwork with the same care given to an exhibition, without reducing the piece to a generic product photo. The layout works both for an artist with few artworks and for a gallery with several names in the catalog.
