Practice with Exhibity

Try one task before the doors open.

Practice gives a volunteer a private space to get comfortable with a specific exhibition task before working with real artists, buyers and artworks. It is free, needs no sign-in, and can be repeated whenever it is useful.

A rehearsal, not a test

Try the work at an unhurried pace.

Each attempt is a private run-through of one task, not a shared exhibition someone has to set up in advance. Open the desk you will use, work through a real scenario, and take as long as you need.

There are no scores and nobody is being assessed. Questions, repetition and the occasional wrong turn are all part of becoming familiar with Exhibity.

01

Pick a task

Choose the desk you want to try—Receiving, Sales, Collection or the volunteer rota—straight from the sign-in page. No account or setup needed.

02

Choose a difficulty

Easy for a first look, or Hard for a trickier situation, such as a split payment or a rota session that needs reallocating.

03

Work through a real scenario

You land on the same desk volunteers use on the day, with a short brief showing what to do. Pause, make a wrong turn, try again.

04

Come back whenever it helps

Try a different task, a harder difficulty, or the same one again—for a new volunteer, a refresher, or anyone who wants another go.

Safe to explore

Practice stays separate from the live exhibition.

  • each attempt is private to the person trying it, isolated from every real exhibition and from anyone else practising at the same time;
  • nothing done in Practice alters a live exhibition's record;
  • Practice never creates an exhibition charge.

Familiar on the day

The desks work in the way volunteers will see live.

  • Receiving follows one artist and their works at a time;
  • the Sales Desk keeps its useful information close at hand;
  • Collection distinguishes work returning to artists from purchases going to buyers;
  • the volunteer rota shows the same reallocation tools an exhibition admin uses on the day.

Part of getting ready

Try it once, come back for a refresher, or hand it to a new volunteer.
