How do I create a good art show set-up?

table camping double image

I'm new to the juried art show world, and I've got one coming up in December. I need a 10x10 booth, which I have to make myself, which also needs to be covered... Finding a camping cover-up that size shouldn't be difficult, but what's a good idea for the walls to hang my paintings upon? It needs to be effective as well as look pleasant.

Answer
Not sure if your art is themed or not, so if you'd need a different background for various paintings, but if you do, try this as a lightweight, easy to assemble/take down & carry to different shows:

1. Use PVC tubing & union joints to build 3 frame walls
that are as tall as you need

2. Find a solid color fabric you like & drape it over each
wall. (You can vary the color/texture/etc. if you want.)
This will give you privacy & define your space. If you
need some extra space to hang small, lightweight
sketches, use double-sided tape to adhere the fabric
draped over the back of your frame, then a small tab
on the back of each sketch to adhere it to the front
for display.

3. Get some room dividers that match each theme of
your paintings. If the divider is fabric covered, use
curtain hooks to hang your pictures; if its wood, use
screw in hooks; if its plastic/vinyl, use 3M hangers;
etc. (Rember to bring a small tackle box you can
keep under your chair with extra hangers, scissors,
tape, etc.)

4. You could lean larger, framed paintings against the
legs of the table you set-up in a corner of your 10 x
10 booth + set-up a couple easels in other corners.

Not knowing exactly the size/weight/medium of your paintings its difficult to give you just one idea. I hope at least one of these helps you think of a way to display your art.

Ok, I have a framed movie still with a female sitting on the edge of a billiards table. The movie info is as follows: Leigh Taylor Young, as a man shredding shrew, plans to put Ryan O'Neal directly behind the eight ball in this drama. So, what is this drama they are speaking of?

Answer
"The Big Bounce"(1969)

PLOT SUMMARY:"Jack Ryan is a young Vietnam veteran with a criminal record, who gets fired from his job as a migrant laborer on a California produce farm run by the mean-spirited camp manager Bob Rodgers. Ryan then meets and teams up with the seductive Nancy Barker the secretary and mistress to the unscrupulous owner Ray Ritchie. When Ryan takes another job as a cleaner at a local motel owned by Sam Mirakian a local justice-of-the-peace, Nancy again approaches Ryan to help her rob Ritchie's safe in his house which allegedly has $50,000 of payroll money. Ryan reluctantly agrees to help with the heist, but becomes highly distrustful of Nancy, suspecting she may double-cross him to keep all the money for herself, and vice versa with her over him."
