I am passing on some info for all artist who work hard at creating one of a kind pieces of art and who derive their living from their art. A fellow artist local to me in Georgia e-mailed this site to me. I think it will be in Ya'll's ( I am f

Where will you be? The Big One, Coconut Grove? The
Can you put a cover over them (sheer fabric perhaps) and still use them to hang heavy work on? I had green fabric hanging over my walls last year and really liked the look, but I want to hang glass panels from my walls this year....
