Hi,  I am new to the art fair scene and was hoping to get some tips from the pros.  I sell large acrylic paintings on gallery canvas.  I need some suggestions on how to display them. Wire vs panel walls?  Where can I rent/borrow these items?  I am hesitant to purchase them because this summer will be my first and I would like some experience before I invest more money.

I will be in Northville, MI June 25, 26, 27 and Plymouth, MI July 9, 10, 11.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • You can find them at retail price by going to www.gridwall.com

    Another route is through Craigslist.org

    I peeked there earlier and saw several listings. I searched on "gridwall" and "grid wall".
  • Thank you!! Where do I find these gridwall panels? Are they sold at art stores or home improvement type stores? I will try to look them up online for local retailers, but if you could send me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Thanks for the response!

    My personal preference is to use steel gridwall panels, 2 x 6 ft. each. They add a lot of stiffness and weight to your tent, and the price is usually less than $20 per panel. A lot of the artists in my area, painters and photographers, use them for the same reasons. Get gridwall hinges to attach 2 or 3 together. That way you can also use them inside arranged in a zig-zag type of setup. Use ball bungees or tie wraps to attach the panels together after they are setup, and lot's of bungees to attach them to your tent legs and tent frame.
