EXHIBITION PROPOSAL
The exhibition runs across three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable and a review with the venue before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · CURATION AND PLANNING
Finalized artist and works list, curatorial statement, floor plan and installation sketches, loan agreements coordinated with lenders, and a production timeline agreed with the venue.
PHASE 2 · INSTALLATION AND OPENING
On-site installation with the venue's art handlers, lighting and wall text finalized, opening reception coordination, and press preview support on the day of the opening.
PHASE 3 · PROGRAMS AND DE-INSTALLATION
Delivery of the two public programs, professional photo and video documentation of the installation, de-installation coordination, and a short post-exhibition report for the venue.
Not included: shipping and insurance of works (billed separately), catalog printing, artist honoraria (handled under separate contracts), and any press campaign or paid media. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Exhibition Proposal template is a five-page document for putting your engagement on paper before it starts. It carries an overview with stat cards, objectives, a three-phase scope of work, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual deliverables, and set the price. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects a PO number, start date, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
