Oh! I just realised, i watched this at the beginning of the year, got inspired by it and now ... im having a solo exhibition. Sh*t! Ive just found myself back here seeking handy tips, and realised it's actually all your fault 😄😄😄

This was so helpful! I'm having my solo exhibition this monday and it's a 36 pieces series. I feel so happy about it! Thank you! ❤️

i'm 18 and i started making art like a year ago, now im having my first solo exhibition and this video just helped me so much, thank you!!

i'm having a solo exhibition! ... i'm having a solo exhibition... shit HAHAHAHAHA so much truth!

Omg this just helped me sooooo much. I was so hopeless thinking that I had to have legal stuff to do so but you have opened my eyes & I'm so encouraged. I know I love art & have so much to Express and I just want to thank you so much for this. Your awesome. Good luck in your journey & be blessed

I’m about to have my first solo exhibition as a sculptor by August 17th 2022. I love your video

Wow that show looked amazing!

Great ideas! Thank you!

This was a great basic intro. Simple, flowing, step by step event planning for an exhibit. I'd love to see a highlight video of how your exhibit turned out!

I subscribed just thanks to the intro. The great tips were a bonus, haha

So nice of you to share your experiences with us. You are helping give us great confidence! Thank you!

This video gave me so many great creative ideas on my show. After spending many years running my own galleries repping artists I have my first solo art show in Sedona Arizona June 7! I am so excited because I have hosted so many openings for others. This is the first time I'm doing it for me. This video made me even more excited!

Thank you for this. ❤️

Thank you! I have a solo show opening this Wednesday & have been stressing about everything. Really needed to hear this right now.

The diference between business and creating. Smart guy!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Amazing info as I start preparing for my FIRST solo show! Holy cow! You rock. Mine is already set for a local cafe here in Seattle, but LOVED the idea of renting out a store front (for one of the next ones I will organize) and LOVE the idea to make at least one really trippy interactive piece and superb insight to make it a fun experience for the folks and not focus on selling the pieces, just having a fun experience they walk away from...KUDOS!

I cannot ❤️❤️❤️ this whole concept enough!!!! Thanks, Rafi! You gave me a huge electric jump this morning!!!!

Yes, this helped tremendously! Thank you. I now have some cool ideas simmering.

Thanks! I've got a meeting tomorrow morning with my local community centre regarding doing an exhibition. I only wanted to do some research, but here I am!

Thank for sharing ! Your idea with finding some space with is not used recently is great !

Thanks great tips , my third art exhibition

THANK YOU, THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL. I AM A RETIRE FIRE CAPTAIN, WITH A DEGREE IN GRAPHIC DESIGN. MY GOAL FOR YEARS HAS BEEN TO ONE DAY HAVE A SOLO ART SHOW. YOUR INFORMATION WILL BE A GREAT HELP TO HELP ME ACHIEVE MY DREAM.

I’m having a pop up show tomorrow 🥰😳☺️🤪🥳🤯🙏💗so I’ve been working like a dog getting everything ready. Thank God I’m OCD so I’m pretty prepared. This is a lot of work. But in a good way. Pricing is the hardest. Then u think “what if I don’t sell anything🤯😳and then u go into a visualization that u sell Tons! It’s like a roller coaster ride. So I’m listening to this again before my show🙏😊wish me luck!😍

You're a wonderful person, Rafi! I was just in the process of planning my solo exhibition that I want to hold in late fall. Your advice has given me a completely different perspective on the preparations. That was the first time I've seen and heard so much good advice I've never heard before. Thank you very much Rafi! You're really very cool and helpful!

Thank you for sharing your experiences on how to set up your own art show. Very well explained and great tips! I'm planning to do my first solo art show sometime next year, any ideas on how many painting is acceptable for a solo exhibition?

So much helpful tips..

Great video!

So helpful. Thx

GREAT ADVICE

Hey Rafi, me again, I know I post alot on your videos! but I wanted to tell you thanks , because of this video (and alot of them actually) I tried something knew, approch a coffee shop, to show my art work AND propose to the mall, close to home, to show my work in their empty shop windows until they find a tenant. Well, they got back to me, they have a actual tenant who is looking for an artist!! but I never done anything like this!!! now I am scared and don't know what to present to them.... as for the coffe shot I am going to see them next friday! Thanks for your wonderful work!

It's been my dream....on my bucket list

Thanks!

Wow😯

Thank you so much

Thank you!

💙 thank you for sharing your tips, excellent info! I’m still fairly new to this whole art thing. I’m not sure how I would even approach a gallery. Can the inexperienced/new artists get in?

sooooo relatable

Great information. Thanks

thank you!

THANK YOU for your videos! I've watched a few and you give good advice together with FUN - I like the comments from your wife/lover/girlfriend (?)! I've been in several group shows and only ever done solo Open House where I live and now I've just been offered my first solo exhibition at a local town gallery (owned by local government) here in France where I now live (next year, in 2019 = over a YEAR away = anything can happen before that, no idea what type of art I'll be doing by then, and I could be DEAD!) and I'm absolutely TERRIFIED. I cried after she rang me to tell me: I'm so scared of not having enough good work that goes together (I do so many different things), scared of letting THEM down and letting me down too. Did you ever feel like that? I've got a brain injury and that makes EVERYTHING more complicated and stressful! I don't expect you actually have the time to look at our work (your audience) but in case (ever the optimist, silly me) I've put some of my work on my blog (Instagram in progress) here: jennyhughesblog.wordpress.com All the best to you and thanks again.

man that is so awesome! any tips on being a part time artist? I really don't know how to manage my time. I work 40 hours a week in an unrelated field,( but it pays the bills and some) I have an active daughter in a dance company team , have to cook and clean oh yea and my spouse has to fit in there somehow , cant forget about fitting in my exercise too.. ooh and throw in a few school projects that they say is for the kids but the parents spend endless hours " assisting " the child with . Ugh Help I need to feed my soul art and I am dying without it! Plus I love capturing it on camera and putting on YT but lately I have been skipping that part due to the time it takes to edit and upload. Can you feel the stress ? :( time managing video please.

thank you

Hi Rafi! Thanks for this advice, it's really helped me. My exhibition is in Spring 2020, so I am busy building up stock for it. I usually launch my artwork on my website each time I finish a piece. But should I be holding some pieces back to have the element of surprise at the exhibition? Or would you just get it out there to get money in? What do you do?

Love the video I am working on putting my first solo show up! I am trying to book 8 months ahead. do you think that is too much of an advance for a pop up?

I draw really intricate names with a bunch of my new details. I have 50 + really really good finished pieces that I've put in tens of hours on each my question for you is is there any types of artwork that would be odd to have a show for?

My first solo 2014 ..KL city Gallery

How long did you wait in your art career before you did a solo art show? I'm really just starting out and painting every day but I don't have enough pieces yet to do one. When I do I want to have one but I'm afraid that no one will come even if I advertise. One thing I realized is that a facebook event garners no attention. I had a small show at a coffee house a year ago before I really found my style but I just put it out on facebook and I had about 6 people come for the opening. It kinda sucked. Like I am kind of introverted like most artists. Is there any guarantee? RSVP? I would be crushed if that happened again. Especially if I did a popup show at an empty storefront and I had a lot of work to fill the place. Thank you in advance. I really like your videos and I am learning a lot from your tips and experience.

nice video

So... who decides the prices for the art work? and how?

What kind of food or drink I should use for a solo exhibition?

I’m doing solo art show in secondlife

Bro I live in Marrakech and I used to live in Europe- Amsterdam. And I am now thinking to organise a art exhibition. But how do I connect with the art world I have zero experience. I just like the vibe at the party's hahahaha

Yeah... Made my mind to have art exhibition for my friends etc.... picnic in my garden... about 6 weeks time to finish my 101 paintings series of acrylic pours - paintings - epoxy resins.

Have a book out and let people put their e mail or mailing address if they want to know when and where the next show will be

I’m having a solo exhibition at the end of clobber this year. Already panicking

Hello! I was wondering what kind of profits should you aim for through sponsors.

What about the lay out of the paintings? Do you contrast / paintings or harmonize color pieces together. Sometime the contrast catches the eyes better?

How do you not damage venue space walls

Did you sell tickets to get in or was it free?

👍

How much do you charge for admission? And are drinks/ food complimentary? And do you need a license to have alcoholic beverages ? Sorry I have a lot of questions.

I may have an opportunity to have a solo exhibition. There's a library that does this, I just need to contact them!

As a high school student, am I able to have a small scale art exhibition? I was thinking about asking small coffee shops or other cheaper venues...

are these all of your pieces?

I've decided to really focus on my art - instagram.com/micheal.hensley.art/How essential do you consider exhibitions? I need to build sufficient stock but once I do, should I focus most energy in building an online presence, or build a name through participating in and maybe running my own exhibitions ? I know both are important, so its more 'what would you suggest focusing on initially'.

Hello. I need your help to host an Art exhibition for elementary school somewhere in Nigeria, West Africa. Typed this half asleep...

How long was the preparation for this? I’m wanting to put one together myself.....
