| Feb 8, 2011 at 13:24 | comment | added | PearsonArtPhoto | @JayLancePhotography: Quite frankly, I'll take either. I'd just like to find a way to actually sell some of my prints at an exhibition of some sort. Even if it's simply a display at a local store, it's better than nothing. | |
| Feb 8, 2011 at 7:24 | comment | added | Jay Lance Photography | I think I have an answer to your question but I wanted to clarify a bit first... Are you asking about how to go about getting accepted into photographic exhibitions (generally multi-artist shows of some variety, often with awards, but not always), or are you asking about how to get your work exhibited? Based on your second question it could go either way as to which of the two you're asking about... | |
| Feb 7, 2011 at 20:58 | comment | added | BBischof | I don't know, maybe. It seems a bit half baked and insufficient for such an important question. Of course I am not opposed to this being an answer. Just let me know. | |
| Feb 7, 2011 at 19:49 | comment | added | mattdm | @BBischof — that looks like it should be an answer, not just a comment. | |

Usually you can only hang a few, but at least in my area there are two or three contests per year that let you hang up to three shots in an actual photo museum for the term of the contest. This is far from ideal, but it is a way to get some exposure, and you may even win! I was even fortunate to have one shot selected for their permanent collection after the contest, so there are definitely some benefits! | |
| Feb 6, 2011 at 19:04 | comment | added | BBischof | One obvious way are local coffeeshops. This may not be the style of exhibition you are looking for, but it is: easy to set up, easy to get accepted, and gives a fair amount of exposure. There are some downsides: the prices for prints should be lower to appeal to the market, the work is in danger(could be bumped, touched, espresso splatter), the environment is not dedicated to appreciation of your work, and the shop may restrict certain aspects of your display(subject, size, arrangement, number). These things considered, this is one option. Other varients are restaurants and small theaters. | |
