Aperture offers a wealth of diverse and exciting photography exhibitions to museums and institutions throughout the world. Our exhibitions range in size from 25 to 300 images and require from 85 to 800 feet of running wall space. The showing period is generally 8 to 12 weeks but we will make every effort to accommodate your needs.
"Exhibit in a Box"
Aperture exhibitions come crated, labeled, and framed, with accompanying captions and text panels, which are also available on disc. Each exhibitor is responsible for producing the main title graphic, which is supplied on disc. Advance materials include press release, information about sponsors if applicable, exhibition checklist, case list, and condition report forms. Each exhibition is accompanied by an Aperture catalog, which presents the images as intended by the artists, using the highest standards of reproduction. The finest quality ink and papers are used to produce the black-and-white duotone, tritone, or four-color images. Many of Aperture's catalogs are available in foreign-language editions. Often our photographers are able to attend openings or educational programs organized by host institutions, and we are happy to facilitate those arrangements.
Exhibitor's responsibilities
The participating venue is responsible for the exhibition fee, pro-rated shipping, and insurance coverage while the work is in the institution. We require a certificate of insurance and a facilities report from each participating venue. Our contract details arrangements with exhibitors regarding security, environmental controls, and other aspects of hosting an exhibition according to standard museum practices.

We would be delighted to hear of your interest and would like to discuss possible collaboration. We are happy to provide additional details about a specific exhibition, including itineraries, fees and facts, and visual materials you may need for review.
