I live in a very small university town that has a bulging amount of artist types of all sorts. For visual artists it's hard to squeeze work into our few galleries and antique shops due to the masters who live close by and visiting artist from all around the world. Many of the younger artist, like myself, have resorted to hanging work in restaurants and an annual group exhibit that we get a local real estate company to donate the space for a week(which means it's at a different location each time) and get local businesses to sponsor with food and drink. We just have to pay for the electricity and man the gallery. We advertise for the sponsors with a side projector aimed at the most visible and accessible wall, toting photos of their store fronts and we take turns clicking during the opening and encouraging our patrons to do so too. Its all in all a chore to accomplish but we sell tons of work and draw huge crowds..it's usually a party by the end of the opening too.
What do you guys do to get work hung?
