Morphology
The meaning 'a period when exhibitions are held' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'exhibition' (a public presentation) with 'season' (a marked period). This noun+noun composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern (e.g. 'temporada de exposiciones') so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase exhibition season comes from galleries and fairs: an exhibition is a public 'show' and a season is a busy time. When many galleries, venues, and trade fairs put on shows in the same period, that time is called the 'exhibition season', meaning the busy period when many public exhibitions happen.
