OpenSpaces 2026 | Group Mentorship Session: Troubleshooting Your Exhibition Plans

Tuesday 18 August | 13:00 BST | Online | Free for participating artists

You have your space. Now let’s make sure your exhibition plan actually works.

Planning an exhibition in an everyday space comes with its own set of challenges — and most of them only become obvious once you are deep in the process. This group mentorship session is your chance to bring those challenges to the table before they become problems.

In this open, informal session, participating OpenSpaces 2026 artists can share where they are with their plans, ask questions, and get practical guidance from the VAA team. Whether you are still figuring out the logistics, unsure about how to promote your show, or simply want a second pair of eyes on your thinking — this is the session to attend.

What we will cover

• Practical troubleshooting on exhibition planning, layout, and presentation
• Guidance on promoting your show to the right audience
• Advice on working effectively with your venue
• Open Q&A — bring your specific questions and challenges

Who is this for?
