Super successful artists don't generally advertise that they won a highly commended rosette at the Bogworthy and Fartsburg District Sheep, Cattle and Guinea Pig show in their resumes. This will happen naturally though as a sheet of A4 is only so long and after a while you have to start editing down the list.

I recently asked a successful artist if he thought I should include these types of show or only galleries and he suggested only galleries. I think library exhibits are a total legit show to add to your resume but I know how fickle art buyers and gallery owners can be when they go looking at your site.

If you were doing it everyday though, you'd probably need permission to trade as a gallery. It all depends on where you live and how much you annoy the neighbours
