painting exhibition

Gallery canvas display

A painting exhibition is a public display of paintings, typically in a gallery, museum, or similar venue.

Exhibitions may showcase a single artist's work, a particular movement or period, or pieces united by theme: The museum is hosting a painting exhibition of French Impressionists.

The term emphasizes the medium—paintings rather than sculpture, photography, or mixed media.
