• The ecology of the art world from the artist-led space to international art fairs via public institutions and commercial spaces
• The roles of curator, gallerist and commissioner as well as other key players in the art world
• The strategies and tools you can use to promote your practice and approach galleries and curators
• Establishing and making best use of your networks
• Identifying local and national exhibiting opportunities
• The background to setting up your own exhibitions
