PixelParish

Ten thousand churches have priceless art and zero idea where any of it is or what condition it's in.

PixelParish is a digital provenance and condition-reporting platform built specifically for sacred art collections — the institutions that are absolutely not going to pay for Salesforce but desperately need object-level tracking for their Flemish altarpieces. Every artwork gets a permanent, verified record with high-res imaging, material analysis notes, conservation history, loan agreements, and insurance valuations anchored to a real appraisal chain. Diocese administrators can finally answer the bishop's question of "where is the 1687 reliquary" without calling six different sacristans.

Features

  • Permanent object-level records with full provenance chain and condition history
  • Supports up to 4,200 concurrent collection records per diocese instance before sharding kicks in
  • High-resolution imaging pipeline with IIIF manifest generation and deep zoom tiling
  • Direct integration with ArtBase and ChurchSuite for institution-side record reconciliation
  • Loan agreement lifecycle tracking with automated expiry alerts. No more lost Madonnas.

Supported Integrations

ArtBase, ChurchSuite, Axiell Collections, PastPerfect Online, Re:discovery Proficio, VaultBase, Stripe, DocuSign, ImageMark Pro, IIIF Image API, NeuroSync Appraisal Network, InsureArt

Architecture

PixelParish runs on a microservices architecture with each collection instance containerized independently — diocese data never touches another diocese's stack, full stop. The imaging pipeline is decoupled from the core provenance service and processes ingest jobs asynchronously via a Redis-backed queue that also handles long-term appraisal record storage. Object records are persisted in MongoDB, which handles the nested conservation report schema better than anything relational would without a dozen joins per query. The whole thing runs on Fly.io with edge caching for the IIIF tile servers because loading a 200MB altarpiece scan should not take nine seconds on a parish administrator's laptop.
