When planning to organize an art exhibition, know that it will be challenging and tough but can be really fulfilling when done successfully. The preparation depends on your chosen venue and contract with the owner of the place. The tips discussed assume that you will be organizing it on your own.

All details must be described well and make sure all information are true. You should also create a certificate of authenticity for all artworks.
