While exhibitions are of various types, we are limiting our discussion to art exhibitions.
Art exhibitions are traditionally the space in which art objects are displayed to the public.
There are different kinds of art exhibitions, for example retrospectives, which look back over the work of a single artist, individual expositions, group expositions, or expositions on a specific theme or topic.
Such expositions may present pictures, drawings, video, sound, installation, performance, interactive art or sculptures by individual artists, groups of artists or collections of a specific form of art. The art work may be presented in museums, art halls, or private art galleries, or at some place such as a coffeehouse.
Art exhibitions can be juried, invitational, or open. A juried exhibition has an individual or group which acts as judge of submitted artworks and chooses which are to be shown. In an invitational exhibition, the organizer of the show asks certain artists to supply artworks and exhibits them. An open or "non-juried" exhibition, allows anybody to enter artwork and shows them all.
