PREPARING YOUR FRAMES FOR THE BRYAN GALLERY
In ADDITION to preparing your frames as described below, ALSO add eyehooks and wire as well, so that, if they sell your work, the buyer can take it home and hang it up right away! The screws described below, of course, should extend out BEYOND the eyehooks, so that the screw heads will catch the lip of the wall's hanging slots.
