I'm new at this and have no idea where to begin. I have a show all put together, just need to know how to go about searching?

Now's the tough part.
You have to approach galleries - restaurants - libraries - offices - cool bars and ask them if you can show your work.
There's no trick - just hard work. The galleries will have guidelines so I suggestst you call them directly.
I suggest SMALLER galleries to begin with because if you're a rookie big galleries probably won't look at you.
Good luck
Very helpful.

So, if you are interested I can... ummm share you a backup copy of them just for your review ;).
Please let me know.

Be aware of the cost factors involved: printing, matting, framing, probably different sizes, perhaps publicizing the exhibition, and your time involved. The gallery will want either a percentage and_or a fee for the use of their space.
When every aspect is considered, many photographers have lost or barely come out even from a gallery exhibition and that is of course assuming sales from the exhibition.
