Exhibiting and Print Sales with Peggy Sue Amison
Tuesday, 29th March, 2022; 7pm - 8:30pm
-----
This event looks at how you can get your work out and seen in public - through exhibitions and galleries. Exhibiting is a great way to get your work to an audience, but many photographers investigate the idea of exhibiting and retreat, baffled by the gallery system in the UK. This workshop is about demystifying the exhibiting process. It explores:
- How private and public galleries work in the UK and abroad
- Other possibilities for exhibiting: festivals, group shows and alternative spaces
- Organising yourself and getting plugged into the art scene
- Working with curators and building relationships
- Planning a strong show; dos and dont's for exhibiting
- The practicalities of exhibiting: selecting, printing, framing, hanging
- What else you need including the opening, catalogues, publicity, security
- Art sales: pricing prints, and deciding on whether and how to limit the edition of each print.
