Gallery Standards for Wiring & Hanging Your Art

Full disclosure, I am an affiliate. That means I may make a small commission if you make a purchase on Amazon through my affiliate link. 

On this week’s episode of the Honest Art Podcast…we’re showing, not telling.

We’re doing things a little differently this time because I want you to see the full picture. Hanging your work in galleries isn’t just about nailing it to the wall (pun intended) — there are critical details to get right, especially when it comes to wiring and hanging.

I’ve made my fair share of mistakes as an artist, and lucky for you, that means you get to skip the hard lessons.

From nearly getting my work cut from an exhibition to accidentally drilling holes in my art (yep, that happened), I’ve done it all. But in this episode, I’m showing you the right way to do it so you can skip that part and get your work displayed. 

Here’s what you need to know about gallery standards for hanging your art.

This episode is highly visual! If you can, I recommend watching the accompanying YouTube video for the full step-by-step breakdown. But don’t worry — these notes are here whenever you need a quick refresher.

Here’s what I’m walking you through:

• The tools and materials you’ll need
• Common (and costly) mistakes to avoid
• Specific requirements to get your art on those gallery walls (and how to keep it there!)

The devil’s in the details when it comes to hanging your art…so make sure you watch the YouTube video to see exactly how it’s done. Then, come back here for a quick reference when you need a refresher!

Until next time, y’all!
