Each artist sooner or later comes to the conclusion that he needs to organize an exhibition of his own paintings. Exhibitions may focus more on the buyer of paintings or on how the artist achieve greater popularity. The organization of exhibitions in these cases varies somewhat, but still not too much.
Instruction manual
1
When an exhibition is organized, the first question that you ask yourself is why the exhibition is planned to be held. Do you want to gain popularity with the invitees, or is your goal to sell art objects. When this issue is resolved, further priorities are set in accordance with it.
2
How much money do you plan to spend on organizing the exhibition. This question determines the remaining points, because if you assign a specific amount, which you do not currently have for a particular event, this amount will determine which exhibition hall you take, how much you will spend on advertising, whether you will invite the media and even how you will treat guests at the opening Exhibitions.
3
If the exhibition is done by a novice artist, then you can look for the possibility of a free organization. Will it be possible to sell paintings during the exhibition or not - any exhibition will still resonate. It is possible to organize an exhibition for free if you agree with bars, banks, corporations, in the halls of which you can hang pictures. For example, an exhibition in a bar is beneficial for both the artist and the owner of the institution: the first gets the opportunity to show their art, and the second receives additional profit from the guests of the exhibition who will order something. The artist himself, if he doesn’t even sell anything, can receive work orders.

When the issue is resolved with the premises for the exhibition, the problem arises: how to prepare the exposition, where to hang the paintings, how to arrange everything. You may need a curator who can help with this. Otherwise, you will have to rely on your taste and features of the room.
5
The exhibition is ready, the opening day is scheduled, the most important thing remains - the visitors. It is necessary that people find out that you have arranged an exhibition, otherwise what was the point of starting everything. You will need to organize advertising. You can advertise on the radio, in newspapers and on the Internet. Also today, social networks are quite popular. There are many event related projects on the Internet. Create meetings for your exhibition, and many people will visit it, learning about it from the Internet, this method of advertising is free.
Useful advice
If you yourself are a novice artist and you still have a little work, but want an exhibition, try to find like-minded people - a joint exhibition will give the right number of paintings, and it will be useful to communicate with colleagues in the workshop.
