Exhibiting Your Work: Finding the Right Pathway

Artists today have an expanding range of ways to share and sell their work, from traditional gallery representation to hybrid homewares‑gallery spaces, self‑curated releases, and online platforms. Exhibiting Your Work: Finding the Right Pathway explores how these models operate, how artists combine them, and how to choose the approach that best supports a sustainable, authentic practice.

Join us on Saturday 21 November, 12.00 - 2.00pm at More House, Ashmore Arts for a lively SHED Talk with three arts‑industry professionals working across these different pathways. The panel will unpack what audiences respond to, how opportunities arise, and what artists should consider when navigating the professional side of exhibiting and selling their work.

After the discussion, enjoy a light lunch and continue the conversation with the panellists and fellow creatives in a relaxed, informal setting.
