Exhibiting Your Design
Developing your design is just one part of a designer's work in the industry. Presenting your ideas, concepts, or finished products is the next step in finding an audience and, ultimately, a market for your work as a practising professional.
Showing your design in the public arena allows you to present your ideas, contribute to a broader conversation and commentary about design practice, and gain valuable (and sometimes challenging) feedback from your peers.
This Practice Note outlines practical steps in preparing and presenting your design in an exhibition context and covers:
Why exhibit your design?
Applying to exhibit,
Planning the exhibition,
Budgets and finance,
Insurance,
Contracts,
Designing the show – telling your story,
Installing the show,
Documentation and copyright,
Promoting the exhibition,
Bump out and post-exhibition review, and
VIP previews, openings and other events.
