How to Prepare for a Solo Art Exhibit (Tips from an Artist)

Описание: Having a solo exhibition is a wonderful opportunity to showcase your work to new collectors and the art community. A lot of preparation goes into getting ready for an exhibit, even after the paintings are done.

I matte and frame my watercolors myself to have them show ready which is more economical but takes time away from creating art. It's also best to get a handle on how much space you have to hang your work. I noted wall dimensions from my gallery and used these to do a rough physical layout on a large piece of foam core using small images of the pieces on mockups of wall space to make sure everything will work together and fit OK on the space I had to hang the work.

Preplanning is key and shouldn't be skipped. Just remember once you start hanging the work, things may change so be prepared to be flexible.
