How to ‘Exhibit’ Well! (Winter)
All Skill Levels: Adults
Instructor: Britt Conley
We explore the aspects of ‘showing’ well, from beginners to advanced exhibitors. We begin with what it means to create a thematic show through and finish with your own countdown road map and exhibition timeline. We cover a lot of topics that are essential to showing well. Many already know about artist statements, bio, cv, or resume, but how you determine changes to fit the anticipated show or venue is important. We will go over a variety of subject necessities including presentation expectations for matts, framing, hardware, etc., with tips for framing on a budget. We’ll also cover marketing promotionals: photography essentials and text concepts for social media, your physical show card and putting out a press release. Most importantly, we will go over the logistical and aesthetic rules of hanging a show including concepts regarding the art of hanging including, overall display. By the end of the class you’ll have what you need to guide you through having a solo exhibit or if you are already exhibiting, how to exhibit even better! It’s not just about giving the world what you want to make, it’s about making sure what you’ve made fits into the perfect show or career expectations.
