group show

Multi-artist gallery display

A group show is an art exhibition featuring works by multiple artists, as opposed to a solo show devoted to one.

Galleries and museums organize group shows around themes, movements, or simply to showcase emerging talent: The gallery's summer group show included twelve local painters.

The term appears almost exclusively in art world contexts.
