To exhibit or not

I've been asked by a local restaurant if I'd like to do an exhibition. While the prospect is appealing for lots of reasons, vanity included, the practical is a different matter. I have an Epson 3800, so I'm more than happy to print at home. I have however been waiting over 2 months on a large batch of Premium Lustre A3+. I've also gone to find the other part that you need for an exhibition: Frames. Some friends run a local gallery and framing service have offered me a good deal on frames, but even at that, it's still a massive investment, meaning I'd need to sell quite a bit to make it a worthwhile exhibition. So do I or don't I?It might be feasible to get a grant for some of it, in which case I most likely will. As to content, I feel it'll be heavily landscape based, rather than people based, unless I specifically start shooting for exhibition.
