Nothing is more frustrating than coming to an exhibition to see only 4 or 5 small pieces on the walls. Take the gallery&#8217;s size into consideration and make a good job during the installation. <\/li>\n<li>Be awesome. Work hard and prepare a series of outstanding artworks. <\/li>\n<li>People come to see you. They want to see artworks related to your earlier shows. If your work took a totally new direction, mix the pieces with artworks from your previous &#8220;style&#8221;. You don&#8217;t want to confuse the visitors and the buyers with artworks that look like another artist made them . <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"vertical-line grey-text\">When I work on a new solo exhibition, it takes me an average of 5 months to prepare the artworks. <\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"blue-box\">CREATE THE BUZZ | A successful opening art exhibition brings a lot of visitors. <\/div>\n<ol class=\"grey-text\">\n<li>Write a press release. Find an interesting angle and write what you want to read. Dress a list of all the magazines, newspapers, and websites you like. Find the name of a journalist and send him the press release personally. Never send a group email. <\/li>\n<li>Send a newsletter to all your personal and professional contact. <\/li>\n<li>Post an announcement on your website and share it on the social networks. Do an &#8220;event&#8221; on Facebook and invite all your contacts. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"blue-box\">SET UP | Quality is in details. <\/div>\n<ol class=\"grey-text\">\n<li>Display an <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Artist's_statement\" title=\"artist statement\" target=\"_blank\">artist&#8217;s statement<\/a> near the entrance. You may not talk with every visitor. Give them an opportunity to know what your exhibition is about. <\/li>\n<li>Display a short auto-biography bellow the artist&#8217;s statement. People want to know you better and see what you have done before. <\/li>\n<li>Hire a photographer. If you organize the best exhibition in the world, you should have professional pictures to document it. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"blue-box\">ENTERTAIN | Make sure your visitors stay. <\/div>\n<ol class=\"grey-text\">\n<li>Free drinks are good. Everybody loves free drinks. Curious people will come from the street to see what is going on. <\/li>\n<li>if you don&#8217;t know any DJ prepare a playlist. <\/li>\n<li>Welcome people and be nice. Talk to strangers and don&#8217;t spend all night in a corner of the gallery with your friends. Potential buyers like to meet the artist and you can meet your friends every day. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"vertical-line grey-text\">Every time I do a solo exhibition in Paris, my friend DJ Gero comes to play tunes during the opening night. Thank you bro, it is really appreciated! <\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"blue-box\">BE PRO | Do you want people to take you seriously? Act like a pro. <\/div>\n<ol class=\"grey-text\">\n<li>Don&#8217;t get drunk during your own opening. It is tempting to release the pressure after months of hard work. You have all your friends but don&#8217;t act like a fool. Stay sober, talk with people and be nice. <\/li>\n<li>Prepare a stock of business cards. During your opening night, you will meet buyers, journalists, and art enthusiasts who invite you to future group exhibitions or projects. Without business card you will miss future opportunities. <\/li>\n<li>Be nice and explain you art. Try to talk to everybody and be the focal point of the night. You want everybody to remember how talented, humble and nice you are.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"vertical-line grey-text\">Several times I was stone during my opening exhibitions. After months locked in my studio, I was happy to spend quality times with my friends. Too much weed means less sales&#8230; <\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"blue-box\">AFTER THE SHOW | When the show is over, your work is not. <\/div>\n<ol class=\"grey-text\">\n<li>Post a report on your website. Visitors who see the report will want to come to your next exhibition. <\/li>\n<li>Contact magazines, websites and newspaper to send them the pictures and a nice text to explain what happened during of the opening. <\/li>\n<li>Prepare your future exhibition. Dress a list of the good and the bad points of this show. Learn from your mistakes and improve. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"vertical-line grey-text\">I can&#8217;t tell you how many times this happened to me. I take part in a group exhibition abroad and the gallery is not able to send me a single decent picture after the show. This is very frustrating. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I hope that you enjoyed this simple list of 18 tips to organize a successful opening art exhibition. <\/p>\n<p><em class=\"newfont\">To see my paintings, drawings and screen prints, check my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilovemega.com\/blog\/artworks-by-mega\/\" title=\"ARTWORKS by Mega | Paintings, drawings, screen prints\">artworks<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"orange-button\" href=\"#opening\">&#9650;<br \/><small> Openings<\/small><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ilovemega.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pop-all-the-balloons.png\" alt=\"art shows recap pop\" width=\"550\" height=\"742\" class=\"aligncenter no-border size-medium wp-image-6749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ilovemega.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pop-all-the-balloons.png 1100w, https:\/\/www.ilovemega.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pop-all-the-balloons-550x742.png 550w, https:\/\/www.ilovemega.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pop-all-the-balloons-222x300.png 222w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#9660; Exhibitions &#9664; HOME Prepare a story during 6 months.
