Kara, I too coordinate Library Exhibitions and would love a SIG devoted to that topic. Though I'm replying from my gmail account for convenience's sake, I am Reference Librarian/Exhibitions Coordinator at the New York Botanical Garden's Mertz Library: http://libguides.nybg.org/libraryexhibitions. It would be great to share information and ideas with other folks in similar positions.
