  [2yc]  Styling the name of an exhibition

---[2]-- Q & A --------------------------------------------------

         Date: Fri, 16 May 2003
         From: Robyn Colman, words@word-wise.com.au

Should the name of an exhibition be given in inverted commas or
in italics please? 

The exhibition that prompts my question was not an art exhibition
but I'm sure the same principle would apply.

Again I don't have any of my style guides to hand, but (speaking
off the top of my head) I would have thought the name should be
placed in inverted commas for the first instance, and then just
left unadorned thereafter. For example: 

  The Royal Academy in London is putting on an exhibition
  entitled 'Saving Dresden's Art Treasures' until 8 June 2003.
  [some waffle in here...] The Saving Dresden's Art Treasures
  exhibition includes "photographs documenting the salvage
  operation mounted in the wake of the flood that devastated the
  city in August 2002.

It's not a very good example, and it is early on a Monday...

What do others think?
