Getting in the Game: Research, Prepare and Negotiate the Exhibition of your Artwork

The Dayton Visual Arts Center, Rosewood Arts Centre and the Springfield Museum of Art present Getting in the Game: Research, Prepare and Negotiate the Exhibition of your Artwork. This three-part, three-venue series will focus on different aspects of exhibiting artwork, from finding appropriate exhibition opportunities, preparing a strong portfolio and application, and best exhibition practices. This is the inaugural event in a series of practical practice workshops for artists. Attending all three sessions is encouraged as the sessions are organized cumulatively; however, participants may attend any or all three.
