In American English, they may be called "exhibit", "exposition" or "show". In UK English, they are always called "exhibitions" or "shows", and an individual item in the show is an "exhibit".

"Where We At" Black Women Artists, Inc. (WWA) was a collective of black women artists affiliated with the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. It included artists such as Dindga McCannon, Kay Brown, Faith Ringgold, Carol Blank, Jerri Crooks, Charlotte Kâ (Richardson), and Gylbert Coker. Gylbert Coker started an art column in the African American Newspaper, The Amsterdam News, to present and discuss African American art exhibitions, art work, and artists. In 1969 she became the second black person to work in the art department of the Guggenheim Museum. The first black person was Kynaston McShine, and following Coker was Cheryl McClenney. In 1970 Coker joined the registration department at the Museum of Modern Art. In 1972 she became the first Chief Curator at the Studio Museum in Harlem where she produced a number of important exhibitions, among them The Bob Thompson Exhibition in 1976 and the Hale Woodruff 50 Years of Art Exhibition in 1978. During the development of the Woodruff exhibition she discovered the WPA murals Woodruff and Charles Alston produced inside Harlem Hospital. Her discovery and initiation to gain recognition for the art work helped to save and conserve these murals. She developed a registration and cataloging system for the SMH collection. She went on to catalog the Palmer Hayden Collection, The Charles Alston Collection, and served as the private secretary to his widow Ida Mae Cullen. One of her largest exhibition projects was the 1980 and 1982 outdoor exhibition, Art Across The Park which she produced with David Hammons and Horace Brockington. Where We At was formed in the spring of 1971, in the wake of an exhibition of the same name organized by 14 black women artists at the Acts of Art Gallery in Greenwich Village. Themes such as the unity of the Black family, Black male-female relationships, contemporary social conditions, and African traditions were central to the work of the WWA artists. The group was intended to serve as a source of empowerment for African-American women, providing a means for them to control their self-representation and to explore issues of Black women’s sensibility and aesthetics. Like AfriCobra, a Chicago-based Black Arts group, the WWA was active in fostering art within the African-American community and using it as a tool of awareness and liberation. The group organized workshops in schools, hospitals, and cultural centers, as well as art classes for youth in their communities.

The 62 Group of Textile Artists is an international group of professional textile artists founded in the United Kingdom in 1962. The group is a Constituted Artists Co-operative, focussed on exhibiting the work of its members in the UK and overseas. Membership of the group is achieved through a selection process. The 62 Group requires members to submit work to a selection panel of their peers for every exhibition "If members fail to submit, or are rejected for three successive exhibitions, then membership is forfeited...a policy which ensures that the group consistently produces exciting work." The increased profile of textile art and its evolution in the latter part of the 20th century "has to a great extent been dictated by members of the 62 Group."
