How it's used
Although 藝術秀 is understandable, native speakers often prefer more specific terms depending on the nature of the event. For a gallery exhibition, 展覽 is the standard choice, while a performance-based show is usually called 表演. Using 秀 is a direct loan from English and carries a slightly more commercial or modern vibe compared to traditional terms.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 展覽, which is the much more common term for art exhibitions in museums or galleries. 藝術秀 is typically reserved for events that feel more like a spectacle or a commercial showcase.
