This thesis is the result of an internship at project De FactorY. De FactorY is a social artistic studio in Leuven for people who have difficulty accessing the regular art circuit. The project does not have the right resources to offer enough exhibition options to its participants. That is why this research poses the following question: How can De FactorY support its participants in the process towards exhibiting outside De FactorY as an organization? The goal of this research is to get to know the needs of the participants of De FactorY in terms of exhibiting their own work. When these needs are documented, the study goes on to investigate how De FactorY can play a role in realizing those needs. Finally, the study offers recommendations to De FactorY on how to cater to the participants needs. These recommendations can serve as a source of inspiration for similar organizations. To answer the research question, the study starts with an extensive literature study to initiate and support the practical research. The second part of this thesis gathers the necessary information about De FactorY as a project and what they already have to offer. Through interviews with the participants, it becomes clear what experiences are available in De FactorY and what is still lacking. The information provided by the participants is a formal source of the research. Lastly Greet Verbruggen of Expo Leuven gives insights to substantiate the recommendations for De FactorY. There are several reasons why participants of De FactorY may want to exhibit their own art. One of the motives could be the sale of their works, but that is often only a minor issue. The majority of participants attaches more value to the intrinsic consequences of exhibiting. This includes the positive influence on the maker's self-image and self-development, being able to express their own emotions and thoughts, conveying a message, and learn about the structure of exhibitions and making contacts. These potential positive consequences show that exhibiting their own art could bring sufficient satisfaction to the participants. The interviews with the participants demonstrate that they need support in showing their works outside of De FactorY itself. De FactorY can support its participants by organizing workshops that educate them about exhibiting, assisting them in creating and developing a portfolio, offering a map of exhibition spaces, establishing contacts with exhibition spaces, introducing them to offer their artworks online and finally help participants to familiarize themselves with the sale of their art.
