PREPARING AN EXHIBITION PROPOSAL

This webinar, led by Frances Jakubek, will help artists, curators, and collectives feel prepared to submit an exhibition proposal. Using Filter Photo's current Call for Exhibition Proposals as a framework, we'll review the step-by-step requirements, as well as how to organize your materials and communicate your vision clearly and concisely. We will also discuss best practices for researching the reviewers and choosing the best images to reflect your submission. We will close with ample time for any questions about the application process and what to expect. Though the discussion will be geared towards submitting to Filter Photo's current call, the insights and tips shared will be informative for anyone preparing an exhibition proposal.
