PROJECT DEVELOPMENT II:

Print to Exhibition

Image by SPAO alum Blair Smith

This is part 2 of two companion Project Development courses (Capture to Print and Print to Exhibition) which allow students to develop an original project from the concept stage to exhibition. 

Print to Exhibition will pick up where Capture to Print left off; taking a project from finished imagery to exhibition. In this course, participants will produce an exhibition from pre-existing work and develop it for formal presentation, working with their colleagues and instructors to learn strategies first-hand around curation, promotion, and presentation. This course will touch on:

  • Consideration of framing and presentation concepts

  • Curation and sequencing of works

  • Preparing your work for a jury

  • Promotional strategies including social media and website design

  • The production of an artist statement and bio

Completion of this course guarantees participation in a professional exhibition presented by SPAO.

  • Students must have their own film or digital SLR camera and a computer with Photoshop CS6 or later installed. A reasonably priced monthly photographer’s package can be found on the Adobe website. As this is an advanced level course, participants’ proficiency with camera techniques, their computer, and Photoshop are expected.

  • Project Development I: Capture to Print, or equivalent.
