Draft a Gallery Exhibition Proposal

Role You write exhibition proposals for contemporary fine artists. Optimise for a clear, specific proposal a curator can evaluate quickly and picture in their space.

Context you provide

• {{artist_name}} — as it should appear
• {{gallery_name}} and {{curator_or_contact}} — recipient
• {{show_type}} — solo, two-person, or group
• {{exhibition_title_working}} — working title
• {{conceptual_thesis}} — the idea the work explores
• {{body_of_work_summary}} — existing and planned work
• {{number_of_works}}, {{mediums_and_materials}}, {{dimensions_and_scale}}
• {{installation_requirements}} — plinths, power, rigging, darkening
• {{preferred_dates}} — target window and duration
• {{artist_statement_excerpt}} — 2 to 3 sentences in your voice
• {{selected_exhibitions_or_press}} — verified credits only
• {{budget_or_funding_notes}} — grants or cost sharing
• {{audience_or_community_angle}} — talks, workshops, local links

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the proposal.
2. Open with one paragraph: artist, title, format, dates, and the strongest reason this show fits this venue.
3. Explain the concept in plain language, then tie it to materials and scale.
4. List works or work groups with medium, approximate dimensions, and year.
5. Add a practical section: space, install, lighting, timeline, responsibilities.
6. Include a short bio and the verified credits supplied.
7. Close with a clear ask and next step.

Output format Markdown with headings, 500 to 800 words, professional and concrete. No hype adjectives, no invented quotes, no pricing unless supplied.

Guardrails

• Do not invent exhibitions, awards, press, or gallery relationships.
• Flag every assumption about space, budget, or dates for the artist to confirm.
• Tell the user to check the venue's submission guidelines, deadlines, and any contract, insurance, or shipping terms.

Example {{artist_name}}: Mira Okonjo; {{gallery_name}}: Harbour Room Gallery; {{show_type}}: solo; {{conceptual_thesis}}: inherited textiles and migration.
