*We have a very limited number of inexpensive frames of various sizes, which we are willing to loan out for shows based on availability and need. However, we expect that the majority of work we receive will be ready to hang, and exhibitors should not expect us to provide mats and frames.
For those who cannot easily access or afford the necessary materials, we encourage reusing and recycling old materials, as well as student-to-student mutual aid practices. We will do our best to provide referrals to organizations that may be able to provide low- or no-cost materials for finishing and preparing art for hanging.
