for art/print racks and small Greeting Card displays. But they cannot always be placed adjacent to the artist’s pictures are hung due to the risk of blocking
the free flow of visitors. All work in racks must be wrapped in
cellophane and individually and clearly labelled.

Our supplied chains hang down the boards and you affix your pictures to the chains with small "S" hooks (Provided).

Pictures that have no fitted horizontal hanging strings/rings will not be hung in the exhibition
