Framing and Wiring Guide

Please follow OPM's guidelines and consider the sturdy examples below when framing and wiring paintings to hang in OPM exhibitions.  Panels should be secured by metal points or offset clips.  Paintings should be hung using hanging wire strung between D-rings screwed to the frame.  Eye-screws and glued hangers are not recommended because they tend to increase the risk that paintings will fall and cause injuries and frame damage.
