get a painting in a serious art museum

It (graffiti) is a way for people to display their talents-whether or not they are particularly talented-in a public place, instead of trying to get a painting in a serious art museum.

Does the bolded "get" in the above mean "show/present?" If yes, is it a very casual way of expression? Thanks.
