The thing about putting together an exhibition is that it can be very costly for the artist. Even if you intend to hang your photographs in a Gallery, Café, Restaurant or Library, it can cost a lot of money to have enough of your prints matted and framed to fill the walls and stands.
So how do you overcome this challenge?
Team work. If you gather a group of photographers together you have a much better chance of being exhibited and to fill the walls of the venue. Even though you have to share the space, and therefore share the selling opportunity, it’s better than not being seen at all.
Not only do you have an opportunity to sell your work, but you will gain valuable experience in organising the exhibition, communicating with the venue owner/curator, pricing structure, marketing and many other aspects of exhibiting. It is also much less daunting to be working with a team than on your own. You may even like to practice organising a launch of the artwork by inviting guests and helping to fill the venue for the owner.
Once you get more comfortable with exhibiting your work, and sell more and more photographs, you will have the experience and the money to go ahead and organise your own individual exhibition…and why not? You deserve to be hung!
