What is the best way to display my photographs for an art show?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Is the art show indoors or outdoors? This might make a difference on how you display them. You better check with whoever is in charge of the art show to make sure there are no restrictions on how you can display your art. I believe there are many factors to consider. I’m not an expert in art shows, but I think the goal is to impress the people viewing your pictures. I’m not sure if you intend to sell them. You want to wow them. Maybe you should try contacting an art framing store and see if they would know what to do in your situation. They would probably have the best knowledge or tips. Or you could look here, maybe this would help you as well. http://photo.net/casual-conversations-forum/00RG60
