Questions answered about exhibition proposal

Submit your exhibition proposal in a .pdf format.
Imagine you are proposing this exhibit to a jury, so you will project your .pdf as you explain the exhibition- images are very important to grab our attention.

A press image is the postcard image for example and the press release is the text that announces the show, dates, and concept of the exhibition. The press image and release typically go out to the press a month or more before the show. You will not be sending it out, but you will have it in your proposal.

Good sources for sample loan agreements are to go to the museum and ask for an example, research online, or check out the "legal guide for visual artists".
