Arts take an upswing in the recent years, companies and individuals started investing more money into arts performances, whether it is a classical music concert or another type of performance. The introduction of artworks into the business world has its pros and cons, and these have to be carefully elaborated to make them as effective as possible.

Business Plan for Art Exhibition

The purpose of this business plan is to provide the reader with an understanding of how I have been able to sustain my art exhibition business over the years. It also aims at providing information on how a person can start their own art exhibition business and how they can run it successfully. In this business plan, I will be discussing my experience as well as giving some useful tips that can help anyone who wants to venture into the world of art exhibitions.

I started my first art exhibition in January 2010 and since then, I have been holding different exhibitions almost every year. My first exhibition was held at a venue in my hometown and it was attended by many people from different parts of the country. This event gave me enough publicity so that I could hold more exhibitions in other places later on.

My first exhibition was a success because I used my network to get it advertised. My friends, family members and co-workers were able to advertise for me by telling everyone they knew about it through social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. They also invited their friends and family members who were interested in attending the event so that they could get free tickets from them (Beddoe-Reid & Gee, 2011).

An art exhibition is a curated, usually temporary, exhibition of work. Events that are not exhibitions may also be called art exhibitions, especially in the context of craft. Exhibitions may be in public spaces or privately owned spaces, and often charge an entry fee. They usually include a set of works (usually three) from artists who are invited to exhibit their artworks at the exhibition for a fee (called “a commission”). This exhibition is often accompanied by other events such as concerts, performances, lectures and workshops. The organizers of the exhibition seek to generate buzz about the artists’ work, both among other exhibitors and their target audience.

 

Art exhibitions are held in all sorts of places including museums and galleries, festival sites, hotels and restaurants; some artists have even staged their own exhibitions in their homes! Exhibitions vary widely in size and scope from small-scale local events to large international ones with hundreds of thousands of visitors.[1] They can feature artists or collectives working together on one larger project or several smaller ones.

How to Plan an Art Exhibition

Art exhibitions are a great way to display your works and get them in front of the public. It can be an exciting way to showcase your work, but it can also be a stressful process. Here’s how to plan an art exhibition yourself.

Planning an art exhibition requires a lot of time, effort, and money. If you’re going to do it right, you need to know what you want out of the event — and why people should come.

Step 1: Know Your Audience

The first step in planning an art exhibition is knowing who the audience is for this event. Is it meant for potential customers? Or does it offer an opportunity for networking with other artists? Knowing who will attend will help you make decisions about location and time management later on in the process.

Step 2: Choose Your Venue

You’ll need a venue for your exhibition space — whether that’s a gallery or another space where people can come and see your work. Find out if there are any venues where you might be able to host your event for free or at least at reduced cost compared with renting space elsewhere (such as schools or churches). Some venues may require that you donate some money toward their upkeep through ticket sales.
