the photos and text are ready to hang with wires on the back. If you have wallspace, you just hang the photos and text as you would any art show, using nails or pushpins. Photographs are framed with plexiglas covers and measure 16' x 20" (some vertical, some horizontal). Each exhibit consists of approximately 20 photographs. Then there are laminated text panels (thick lamination like a credit card) which measure ll" wide x 17" long. In addition there are quotes that are 11" wide and 8" long (hung horizontally) which you may want to use, too (but may not depending on space and situation). We can tell you exactly what to expect with your exhibit as each one is slightly different but the sizes are the same. Ideally, you would have at least 60 linear feet, but this isn't a requirement. You could double hang the photographs. Some groups divide up the 20 photographs and put them in different areas of a building as well. If you use tables, you will need small table easels to hold the photographs and you can put the text right on the tables. Floor easels can also work, and we've even seen music stands used. Some folks rent or borrow room dividers/portable bulletin boards and hang the exhibit on both the back and front of them. (They must have wood backs, not corkboard, as the photos weigh about 2 pounds and you need the nail to go in solidly). We are happy to talk to you about your individual situation and make suggestions, as we've seen it all!
