Guidelines for Hanging/Mounting Artwork
All work submitted to the Gallery for installation must be mounted correctly on hanging hardware appropriate for the weight of the piece. To avoid problems, please test the mountings beforehand in order to decide if the piece will be stable.
When mounting graphic design works without a frame, they should be mounted on foam core and not mat board. When mounted on mat board, the piece has a tendency to bow and ultimately ruin the work.

When installing a hanging system on framed works, use eye hooks that penetrate directly into the support. Tape will not support a hanging system even if the piece is light and it passes the test at first. In the past, we have had such works fall off the wall and ruin the frame.
