An exhibition CV is more than a list of dates; it is the professional narrative of your creative journey, specifically tailored for curators, gallerists, and serious collectors. Unlike a standard corporate resume, this specialized document focuses purely on your artistic milestones—your exhibition history, representation, commissions, and formal training. You need this polished document when applying for gallery representation, submitting to juried exhibitions, pitching for public art commissions, or applying for residencies. A truly standout exhibition CV balances meticulous organization with a clear, elegant layout that does not distract from your work. It presents your career chronology with confidence and clarity, making it easy for a busy curator to instantly see where your work has lived and who has validated your practice. By keeping the formatting clean and the hierarchy intuitive, your CV acts as a trusted ambassador for your studio practice, ensuring your achievements shine as brightly as the art itself.
An artist CV focuses exclusively on your professional artistic achievements, such as exhibitions, press, residencies, and representation. A standard resume includes traditional employment history, skills, and corporate experience that are irrelevant to galleries and curators.
You can list these under an Education and Training or Professional Development section, detailing mentorships, intensive workshops, or specialized studio assistantships. Be transparent about the institutions or master craftspeople you trained under to build immediate credibility.
As your career progresses, you should phase out student shows, minor local cafe exhibitions, or very old events to keep the focus on your most significant contemporary work. Keep your CV curated to a maximum of two to three pages, showcasing only your strongest milestones.
List collaborative projects by stating the exhibition title, the venue, and clearly indicating your role or naming the collaborative group in parentheses. For joint exhibitions, explicitly state Two-Person Exhibition or Three-Person Exhibition to accurately represent the scope of the show.
