Simple Things You Must Do to Be Exhibition Ready
Getting your artwork ready for an exhibition involves much more than choosing what goes on the wall.
Simple Things You Must Do to Be Exhibition Ready is a practical guide by Shruti Dugar of SD Doodles, created to help artists prepare both their artwork and themselves for the exhibition experience.
Based on Shruti’s own experience exhibiting her work, the guide takes you through the small but important details that can make the process feel more organized and less overwhelming — from deciding whether an exhibition is right for you to presenting your work professionally, preparing labels and portfolios, promoting the show, speaking to visitors, documenting the experience and following up afterwards.
Inside the guide, you’ll find:
Questions to ask before saying yes to an exhibition
Tips for curating a cohesive selection of artwork
Presentation, framing and display considerations
A practical artist exhibition toolkit
Guidance for preparing your portfolio, bio and artist statement
Artwork label and pricing basics
An artwork label worksheet
Simple exhibition promotion ideas
Setup and exhibition-day tips
Advice for engaging with visitors without hovering
Photography and documentation reminders
Professional follow-up and reflection prompts
Tips for participating in a multi-artist exhibition with just one artwork

You’ve made the art. This guide helps you prepare for what comes next.
Who is this guide for?
This guide is designed for digital artists, traditional artists and hybrid creators preparing to exhibit their work.
It is especially useful if you are approaching your first few exhibitions and want practical guidance without an overly formal or complicated gallery manual.
Is this only for first-time exhibitors?
No. While it is beginner-friendly, the checklists, preparation reminders and professional-practice tips can also be useful for artists who have exhibited before and want a more organised process.
Can I use this for a group exhibition?
Yes. The guide includes a dedicated bonus section on making an impact in a multi-artist exhibition even when you are exhibiting only one artwork.
