Congratulations on your first show in DC, Jen. Six months is a long time for an exhibit!
Get the work out there!

Great article. I’m happy to say that I have a piece hanging in my very first show in DC. It’s a 6-month show, ending in May. It’s been very exciting.
I was invited to submit work, along with several other artists. I submitted three pieces, and only one was accepted, but I’ve gotten lots of compliments on it (I just hope it sells!)
I’m becoming more and more open to the idea of showing my work. I already regularly do craft shows for my handmade items and photography. I’ve been slower with my paintings.

I couldn’t agree more that exhibiting your work is very important. I had an instructor at an adult ed class who would hold a one day exhibit for her students twice a year in a lounge room at the local community college. The students were taught how to mat and frame their work and then participated in hanging the show. Everyone was amazed at how different their work looked when framed and hanging on the wall, many visitors came, the students (about 75 of them) all got to meet each other, and all were encouraged.

Great post. I’m preparing for my first solo exhibition (for this project http://anthonyquinnartist.com/project-52/) and rapidly coming to the conclusion that non-conventional venues are a viable option.
I’m also of the growing opinion that exhibiting (online and offline) is a discipline, ie a practice that improves over time. In this respect, the idea of using low-risk, low-investment venues that are not necessarily galleries reduces barriers to entry for the emerging artist and provides the opportunity to test the waters, improve skills and gain confidence.
