The new resource from PressCable features step-by-step instructions and a sample press release template tailored for the art world, addressing a gap in how artists and gallery managers approach media relations. The guide is intended to help professionals gain earned media visibility and communicate their stories more effectively, elevating their promotional strategies beyond social media posts.

The timing of this release reflects the growing importance of media relations in the art sector. According to industry research, over 60% of art galleries in 2024 identified online advertising, including newsletters and social media engagement, as their most important method for connecting with potential buyers. Real-world examples underscore this trend: the Guggenheim Museum’s well-publicized Hilma af Klint exhibition attracted more than 600,000 visitors, becoming the institution’s best-attended show. These results demonstrate how effective press promotion can translate into tangible attendance and engagement, validating the need for galleries and artists to adopt professional media strategies.

Press releases, the guide explains, function as official announcements to journalists, collectors, and cultural institutions, distinguishing professional promotion from informal outreach. A strong press release requires factual information such as exhibition dates and location, compelling descriptions of the artwork and the artist’s vision, and relevant background that provides depth and credibility to the coverage.

The guide includes a sample press release template with all required components: a headline incorporating the artist’s name and exhibition title, opening and closing dates, venue details, opening reception information, artist background, artwork descriptions, quotes from the artist or curator, boilerplate information, and contact details. An example provided in the guide illustrates how a professional press release for an art exhibition should be structured, clarifying the writing process for galleries and artists regardless of their experience level.

While creating a strong press release is foundational, maximizing its reach requires strategic amplification. AmpiFire, a content amplification platform, converts a single press release into multiple formats, including blog posts, infographics, and videos, then distributes this content to over 300 high-authority sites.

PressCable’s guide is available to art gallery owners, managers, and independent artists seeking to take control of their exhibition promotion strategies. Additional guidance on how to leverage press coverage to deliver sustainable growth can be found at the link below.
