I am having my first show in march and am wondering what is the best method for hanging art pieces. I will be showing photography on canvas panels. Thanks for the input

I use the hangers that ProPanels sells for pictures that are on the top level. Using the extenders tends to make the lower pictures hang out from the wall. For the rest I use the pro-hanger velcro hangers. My photographs are under glass and heavy so they do tend to make the carpet sag but it always seems to go back into shape. Always use more than one pro-hanger per picture. They can get old and give way and you don't want the picture to fall off the wall. I used drapery hooks for awhile and they are hell on the fingers. Also it is a lot harder to more a picture, say 1/2" up or to the left, with drapery hooks. With pro-hangers it's a piece of cake.

I ordered the pro hangers and think I will use the same method for hanging pics as you suggested. The info was very helpful. Thanks a lot
Thanks. I checked out pro hangers so I think for now I will go with the Velcro. My canvas panels are light so I think they will work. Thanks again for the input
I bought the pro panels, checked pro hangers. They are velcro, but I did hear that the velcro cause the fabric to get a little fuzzy with prolonged use.

drapery pins work great on pro panels

I wouldn't use hooks or pins. They break down the Styrofoam over time. I use the hangers that go over the top. http://www.propanels.com/hanging-systems/ I use the hanger kits.

for what it's worth, I've been using drapery pins in the same set of propanels for at least 20 years - no problems.
depends on the weight of your work.

Pro Panels or canvas panels?
Pro Panels sells hangers that go over the top of the panels.
