Let’s Explore – Mounting and Hanging Your Artworks

Today’s Let’s Explore is essentially a sharing time so bring your works in progress and anything else you wish to talk about.

During the day we will focus on sharing tips and tricks on how to make our work look really professional once it is hanging. This applies particularly to the Challenge pieces, as they have to be wrangled in and out of their carrying case 10 times in the year. It will also help when submitting your work for the next Out of Hand in 2025 or other exhibitions.

Please bring pieces you feel look professional when hanging, and pieces you may be having difficulty with, or feel could look better. This is not about paying large amounts of money to have someone else frame and present your work. Instead it is about understanding how to prepare work for this final stage to look great when hung on a wall at home or at any exhibition.

We’ve asked some experienced people to share their expertise and would love for everyone to share their own tips and tricks.

What to bring

• Any mounted art works which you think look professional
• Any works you feel could look better
• Any other works for which you’d like advice on how to best mount and hang
• Your current project to work on or things you’d like to share
• Your lunch (alternatively there are lots of places to buy lunch nearby)
