Hanging Instructions:
In our gallery, all pictures are hung on chains, and in order to have the art work hang
properly, adjustments have to be made. Two chains are needed to hang each selection of
work.
Wooden Frames: Additional eyes must be placed on the back of the frame, 2 inches down
from the top corners. We use “S” hooks to fasten pictures to the chains.
Metal Frames: Please adjust wire mounts to the highest position on the back of the frame.
Please have work prepared and ready to hang prior to its arrival. Work that is not ready for
hanging may not be included in the exhibition.
Note: If awarded an exhibition, all works must be ready to hang according to PDAC conditions.
