- display artworks by hanging, draping, placing, spreading, leaning, adding height and depth to some exhibits, etc.;
- label the works using manual penmanship (calligraphy) or ICT (computer) prints: name of artist, title of work, size of work, date of production;

- opening and closing of exhibition;
- cleaning, appreciation, appraisal, evaluation, reporting, etc.
Note: display portfolio of own visual artworks in order to document them as well as to educate and inform the public on people in other parts of Ghana.
