[custom_adv] So you know that you are coming to the point where you are confident in your work to the point where you can exhibit your work to the general public. [custom_adv] Great stuff! You want to show it off to as many people in the best quality surroundings imaginable.Don’t solely rely upon a website review to know what it is going to look like. Go to the venue, check it out, walk up and down the street a few times, speak to the gallery management. [custom_adv] By checking out the venue, both online and in person. You gain a better understanding of what it’ll be like to exhibit your work there. It may or may not be for you, or, you may find a gallery space 100 meters down the road that’ll suit better to what you have going on. [custom_adv] By making a booking you give yourself a deadline to get the logistics of it all sorted out. At the end of the day, an exhibition experience is all about management of people and making sure everyone knows exactly what is happening at any given point. It isn’t about re-working a project to fit a space. The space is meant to fit around your work. [custom_adv] Don’t forget, snail mail also works. If you have a few special people that you want to attend, give them an invite to the private viewing. It is still nice to have a tangible object in hand that solidifies a presence of your exhibition. Plus if there is a physical flyer, poster or something that can be physically put somewhere it further strengthens the presence of the show. [custom_adv] If you are holding a private view (strongly suggested), invite a lot more people than what the venue can take. The invites you send will have about 1/3 of the people turn up that you had in mind. The gallery may also have a marketing list, it may also have a few names that are influential in the arts circles.
