Anyone put paintings in for open exhibitions?

[prettywhiteguitar]

Just wondering if there was anyone else for hand holding ?! I am working on stuff to enter for this autumn and next early year and have absolutely no experience, if there's anyone out there who knows or equally wants handholding join in !

I've heard the numbers count of how many apply, your style of work and the judges too, I would love to get something in somewhere.

My list starts with the discerning eye....

I do sculpture rather than painting, but yes I'm hoping to get some work in somewhere (not that I've really got anything to show at the moment). I finished an Art & Design Foundation course last year and I haven't really done anything since. I'm hoping to enter some stuff into some local exhibitions etc. this year - mostly as a way of making sure the previous 2 years' work doesn't go to waste.
So I haven't got any advice or tips as I'm completely new to this as well, but I'd definitely be up for some hand holding... :)
What's your stuff like?

I've put some paintings on my profile if you want to have a look? What kind of sculpture do you make ? I loved doing art foundation, really was a time to try anything

I'd like to hand hold please, I'm new to it all too! I didn't even do art at school let alone college/ uni but I'm eager to learn and give it a go. I'm looking to do an exhibition in the autumn - I'm planning to put one on myself eeekkkk I'm thinking of holding it at the local theatre and making it into a family fun day event with bands, craft stalls and exhibiting art i think im a bit mad and my husband is supportive but must secretly despair
