Participation in exhibitions - a selection
Listed here is a selection of exhibitions in which Peter Ford’s work has been displayed. In some cases he was invited to take part but for many exhibitions his work was selected from an open submission. This means that any artist can enter by paying the fee and observing the regulations. Such exhibitions take place in Britain and many other parts of the world. It is not difficult to send works on paper through the international postal system. (His first success with an open exhibition was inclusion in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, (London) 1975. His first international success was in the New York Miniature Print Exhibition, in 1976.)
