Are you looking to put on your first exhibition and not sure where to start? Or are you looking for tips and tricks on how to improve your exhibition game? This session, delivered by Convenience Gallery, will share tips and tricks on how you can put on a boss exhibition.

The first part of this session will focus on:

• Planning
• Locations
• programming
• Promotion
• Community engagement

The second part of this session will be interactive and attendees will get the chance to plan their own exhibition, with the support and guidance of Convenience Gallery. We recommend people have examples of their work, or work they find inspiring (images on your phone are fine – no need to bring physical works).

Discussion and Quick fire Q&Q to finish.
