Use wire for hanging
Wire is the most secure way to hang art. This greatly reduces the potential for damage to the work. Proper wiring is the responsibility of the artist.

Celebrating the FINAL 3 WEEKS OF MARVELOCITY with 3 EAG meet and greet Saturdays
The EAG will be hosting 3 artist meet and greet sessions in the guild gallery on August 5th, 12th, & 19th with some of our amazing EAG artist members.
Each Saturday afternoon, from 1-3pm, 3 of our guild artists will give museum visitors an idea of the various styles and talents of the artists that make up the Elmhurst Artists’ Guild.
Due to the expected high traffic on the final 3 Saturdays of the Marvelocity exhibit, we will not be able to host this meet and greet free of charge. We recommend active EAG members join or renew their membership to the EAM for the low $30 annual rate for individuals. This rate includes your visit to Marvelocity as well as to the Picasso exhibit in the fall. Not to mention all the other benefits listed on the EAM website.
Make sure you’ve renewed with the EAG before you join or renew your EAM membership.
Free entry to the guild gallery will remain available Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday during the After Party: Squares Only exhibit.
