What a solo exhibition catalog should include
A short statement of intent, then a focused sequence of works. Avoid timelines and bios — those belong in the press kit, not the catalog.
Used by
Emerging painters preparing for first solo shows, residencies, and project spaces.
When to use a solo exhibition catalog
First solo show
An emerging artist's first solo show needs one document that explains the body of work. The statement page sets the idea; the plates prove it.
Project rooms and residencies
A short, focused catalog of a single project helps residency hosts and project spaces archive and promote the show.
MFA and thesis exhibitions
Graduating artists can submit the catalog with their thesis and reuse it as their first professional portfolio.
Example: a solo show statement and sequence
A painter's show titled "Salt and Iron" might open with a 150-word statement on coastal industry and memory, followed by 14 paintings sequenced as visitors meet them in the room — large anchor works first, small studies last. (Illustrative example.)

Solo Show template FAQ
What should a solo exhibition catalog include?
A cover with the show title, venue and dates, a short artist statement about the body of work, then one plate per work with title, year, medium, dimensions and price or availability.
How long should the artist statement be?
Around 100–250 words is enough. Use our artist statement template if you need a structure to start from.
Should I include my CV or biography?
Usually not. Keep the catalog about the show. A short bio can go on the last page; the full CV belongs in your press kit.
