However, there is little information on how to advertise these shows, which prevents many upcoming artists from having maximum exposure, particularly when an exhibition needs to be advertised on a tight budget. Here are three ways you can use to promote your upcoming art exhibition.

Exhibition paraphernalia
Artist statements, catalogs, press releases, exhibition cards, invitations, and posters, can be exceptionally beneficial before, during, and even after your exhibition. Don't forget to include any information on private views or other special events you might be hosting during your exhibition.

Once the exhibition is over, you can use these items to maintain records and also highlight your experience.

Social media
Utilizing Social Media to advertise your event significantly depends on your present following. Build your Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts by following other people in a similar field, commenting, retweeting and liking other people’s posts. Instagram is incredibly big on people utilizing the 'Stories' segment of their app, and typically sends out some push notifications to all your followers every time you post something. So this is an incredible feature you can use to get exposure.

But always remember that it’s important to focus on what makes you stand out from your competitors.
