The Ultimate Art Show Checklist

to help you create an amazing exhibition of your work

Don't miss a step
when you envision, plan, create, and wrap-up your show.

Whether you want to do an ambitious solo exhibition,
a small group show, or an intimate installation,

The Ultimate Art Show Checklist

has got you covered.

  • Envision your body of work

  • Decide on a theme and show title

  • Find a great venue and set the mood

  • Enlist a “street team” to help you with the show

  • Get press in print and online publications

  • and much more…

This 6-page checklist is separated into phases will help you plan ahead and not feel overwhelmed.

Just a few years ago, I started with small, intimate shows in local cafes.

This year, I had a solo exhibition, filling a 4000-square-foot gallery.

I believe that when artists create their own shows, they make progress - and money. You can do this, too.

I want to teach you how, so I’m sharing my list that includes everything I’ve learned about creating my own solo shows.

The Ultimate Art Show Checklist helps you know what to do next:

  • Get the BIG Picture from this simple list

  • Know all the steps to envision, plan, execute and finish a successful show - so you don’t forget a thing!

  • Trust Your Own Process : Stop second-guessing the plans you lay out for yourself—and make more progress—to create the show you envision.


Hi, I’m Shannon Borg

I’m an artist, author, and certified life coach.

I held back for many years from making art, because of a serious case of Impostor Syndrome.

Finally, at age 50, I vowed to overcome it for myself, and I did!

It took years and a lot of work, but it feels amazing to be creating the life I always imagined: making art, teaching,
coaching, traveling, and living the artist’s life.

Now help other creative artists
get past their own blocks
so they can create an artist’s life they love.

I’d love to help you, too.

All my best advice for putting on a great show.

Whatever your medium,
you can use the list in several ways:

  • To have a step-by-step list for each phase of your show, from envisioning a new body of work, to thank yous and followup.

  • To see the show in phase, helping you break it down over four to six months, or even a year.

  • To get an overview of all the elements of a successful show and reception, so you don’t forget something important.

    Use some of it - or all of it.

You are going to create an amazing show!
