# Venue CMS

> Venue CMS is a headless content management system for music venues, arts organisations, festivals, galleries and independent artists. It manages events and calendars, artist profiles, locations, products and multilingual pages, and delivers them to any website through an open API and TypeScript SDK.

Venue CMS is API-first: every capability below is reachable over an authenticated REST API and two published TypeScript SDKs, so a site can be built against it without using the admin UI. The API is served from a separate origin to this marketing site — see the OpenAPI document for the authoritative and complete surface, including the write endpoints not listed here.
