This webinar is designed to provide an overall guide to drafting an exhibition proposal, what should and shouldn’t go into the document, ways to ensure clarity and coherence while sparking interest in the work described. Headings, word counts, and structure will be provided to enable the webinar to be a toolkit for future proposals.
