An Art Exhibition Checklist for Artists

NEW PAGE: Checklists for artists wanting to submit art to juried exhibitions

My Art Exhibition Checklist - for Artists entering juried and open art exhibitions are now published in an enhanced format - as a NEW PAGE - on my Art Business Info. for Artists website.

You can find it in the SELL ART section.
See https://www.artbusinessinfo.com/art-exhibition-checklist-for-artists.html

It covers:
ART COMPETITIONS

• Art competitions and Juried Open Exhibitions
• what gets Noticed and Selected

CHECKLISTS

• What to think about BEFORE and AFTER entering a juried exhibition CHECKLIST - including questions to ask sponsors
• The "EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO REMEMBER" CHECKLIST for submitting art to an Exhibition

If you're new to submitting artwork to juried exhibitions you tend to find out all the things you "need to know" the hard way - through error and omission! 

Friends will provide their own tips - but very few have ever written down their own checklists.

Many years ago I started to enter my artworks for juried art exhibitions.
Back in February 2013 I decided to write down my own art exhibition checklist and publish it as a blog post - mainly because every time I did a submission I used to forget one vital step!  Guess what? I'd had yet another incident of forgetting to do something crucial!

The things I have forgotten  to do have included:

• place your order for frames in good time - especially during the summer holiday period. I had one very expensive frame bill the time that one happened to me.
• remove old labels from the back boards early if reusing frames to see - so you can acquire/reorder new ones if needed (saves rushing out to get more on the last day when you have the least time!)
• make sure you have new blades to cut your mount BEFORE you start to cut
• get the luggage label on a string - required for hanging over the front of the frame while on the wall - so label on the wall can be matched to the artwork - in good time (Do you know how difficult these are to get hold of or how much time it takes to find something to create a substitute?)
• making sure I've got something big enough to carry the artwork on the Underground in London. (Now driving into London and marking is so difficult, kit to make sure you can transport artwork easily is essential.

There will be another checklist - for art exhibition organisers - coming along in the near future.
