 | | Most prominent art exhibition of contemporary art is the 1955 founded documenta in Kassel, Germany. | | | The art works may be presented in museums, art halls, art clubs or private art galleries. | | | The practice of art exhibitions dates back to at least 1673, when the royally sanctioned French institution of art patronage, the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture (a division of the Académie des beaux-arts), held its first semi-public art exhibit at the Salon Carré. |

| | Afterimage: Art War - anti-war art exhibition |
| | Art Rat (Serbian for Art War) was initiated in the spring of 1999 during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia as a series of exhibitions by a group of students and professors of the Applied Arts and Design Academy of Belgrade at the gallery of the Belgrade Cultural Center and the independent Gallery 12+. | | | Art Rat's presence in the U.S. was mainly at the level of exhibitions put on by other activists in Toronto, Dallas and San Francisco, plus a few art and literary journals. | | | The exhibition space not only countered the media with the Art Rat posters, but also through poetry of witness by Peter Whalen and Faries, who read works inspired by the Art Rat images and their activism in Central America and Yugoslavia. |
