How Do You Curate An Art Show?
Putting on an art show can be a fun and rewarding experience for everyone involved, and just as much of a headache for the curator. So you’ve found artists that you feel deserve attention, or maybe to sell their work? Read on to learn how to get your show on the road! Find space for your show! It may just be your home or even garage, but you’re going to need a time and place to exhibit. You can call your town hall and inquire about public buildings, talk to local schools, churches, galleries, museums, restaurants and cafes. Consider the theme of your show when negotiating a venue. Try to nail down a convenient opening date. If you want music and catering now is the time to decide what kind of each. You can always cook yourself, have a professional caterer or go to the convenience store and pick up chips and dip but one cardinal rule is you absolutely must feed people at your show. Unless you’re going with work that you’ve already collected, or creating an open show, decide on a theme.
