Listing Details
Our exhibition pages have a standard format that is both attractive and informative (see sample page). Any of the pages can easily be printed by a potential host venue, similar to material you would send by mail in hard copy.
There are 4 separate pages for you to utilize for an overall description of your exhibition listing, including a main page with size specifications, fees, crates and shipping; a tour schedule with open and booked dates; a checklist page to list all objects in the exhibition with description and size; and an extensive image gallery page. This allows visitors to easily pinpoint information relevant to their exhibition search.
Up to 40 photos are included with a basic listing. These appear as small thumbnail photos on the “View Exhibition” page of your listing so that the page loads quickly. These images enlarge when clicked for a better view. You can include titles and/or details about each image which will appear below it, similar to a traditional slide sheet.
The Checklist page includes information about each object in your exhibition, and can include artist/origin, title, size and date.
Contact information is listed on the exhibit main page, and potential venues can inquire about your exhibit by sending an email directly to you from your page.

How Visitors Find www.guestcurator.com
www.guestcurator.com is very visible on search engines, including Google, MSN, AOL, and Yahoo, so when people search for traveling exhibitions, they will find us. www.guestcurator.com also emails hundreds of known exhibit venues to provide updates about the site and recognition of exhibitions available for tour. Potential venues can search the site for free. They do not have to pay a fee to see exhibitions on the site, and contact you directly for more information. We work very hard to maintain and increase this visibility to bring you more venues. It may seem obvious, but if potential exhibitors don't find us, they won't find you and you will not receive inquiries. Without high Search Engine placement, we would be out of business! Note too, that www.guestcurator.com does not charge a booking fee for successfully placed exhibitions.

How Visitors Find Your Listing

THE FAQ'S
1. How to List Your Exhibition with us
I have an exhibition available for tour. How do I list with you?

Simply follow the steps to enter your exhibition information. Once you complete the form press the 'save' button and it will be automatically sent to www.guestcurator.com We will then provide a user name and password for you that you will use to access your exhibition for editing text, completing the tour schedule and checklist pages and downloading your photos into the view exhibition section.

Before you begin....
It is beneficial to prepare ahead of time what you would like to say and save it into a Word document so you don't risk losing the information. Once you have secured a user name and password, you can login and initiate the information required on all pages.
2. Why Should we list with www.guestcurator.com?
Why should I list my exhibitions with you?
Currently, there is no centralized on-line location for traveling exhibitions that provides free searching for potential host venues. A current Yahoo© search for 'traveling exhibitions' resulted in over 240,000 websites! www.guestcurator.com is the only website designed for a subscription based, free search database for any type of traveling exhibition. We make it easy for potential venues to locate your exhibition at a fraction of the cost of designing a custom exhibit website.
Also, you should know that we currently receive over 25,000 page hits annually. In addition, www.guestcurator.com will assist with your own marketing efforts by emailing newsletters with information about the site and current exhibitions to a mass email list on a regular basis.
I am already on another site. Why should I list with you, too?
Redundancy is beneficial in the business of advertising your traveling exhibition. The number one method to advertise on the internet is via Search Engines. Each traveling exhibition web site is found on different search engines and some do better than others on different engines. Depending on the location of your exhibit, you are almost always much better off with several web pages.
What does an exhibition listing include?
A listing on www.guestcurator.com actually contains 4 beautifully designed webpages with important information about your exhibition tour. Your listing includes a professional, attractive, colorful, fast loading main page with a 'thumbnail' photo and essential exhibit information such as shipping estimates, number of crates, etc.; a 'view exhibition' image page with up to 40 expandable thumbnail photos of objects and materials included in your exhibition; a current (and updateable) travel schedule page showing booked and open dates in the tour; and an exhibition checklist with object sizes and other pertinent information. Your listing will also include a link to your contact email and another link, if applicable, to your own exhibit web page.
In addition, www.guestcurator.com will assist you with advertising your exhibition with e-mailings to a substantial email listing.
How can I be a 'featured exhibit' on the main page?
The featured exhibits area on the main page will change every 30 days, and will include 4 new exhibits to the website. If there are more than four new exhibits in a 30 day period, they will be changed more frequently to give each exhibit equal representation.
3. Can I have a Link to my Own Website?
Yes. Simply furnish this information in the space provided and a link will be enabled.
