How to Hang Your Work 101

The center of your wall-hanging work should be at 60" from the floor. To determine where to put your hanging hook (or nail or whatever) follow these steps:

1. measure the height of your piece (for example 50")
2. divide #1 by 2 (25)
3. measure the distance between the top of the piece and the hanging wire--or whatever you're hanging the piece by--be sure to stretch the wire tight (3")
4. subtract #3 from #2 (22")
5. add 60" to #4 (put your hook at 82" off the floor)

  1. Hey guys, I am posting this to let those who are going to be in the space tomorrow morning that I won't be able to be there as I am scheduled. My daughter had to go to the doctor today and we found out that she has pnumonia, double ear infections, and a chest infection. So obviously she can't go to day care and my wife has to go to work. So unfortunately I will have to stay home with her.

    Now this creates another problem for me in that I am unsure when I will be able to bring in and hang my work. If there will be someone at the space thursday night after 9, I could hang everything after I get out of work. Or if there will be someone there Fri. morning I could do it then. If both of these are problems, hopefully I can get in there and hang before the show.

    I know this sucks and I hope I am not putting anyone out but I have no options.
