PHOTO FORMAT, PRESENTATION & SIZE REQUIREMENTS
Maximum height or width of any photo must not exceed 96" including the frame. Photos must fit through a 6'6" high x 36” wide door. There is a premium wall which is 17’ long for large size works. Work delivered must be installation-ready. Non-traditional photographic works in two-dimensional form and photographic wall sculptures must be wired or cleated for hanging. We use a cable hanging system (nails and screws are not drilled into the walls) on the perimeter walls of the gallery. Because the cable hooks must not show, the top of the hanging wire should be at least 3" below the top of the frame. Cleated work will generally not be suitable for cable hanging and will be placed on the T-Walls or other non-cabled wall. All photos must be mounted, framed, or otherwise suitably prepared for hanging. Frames must be in good condition and properly equipped with wire for hanging. The wire and eye screws must not show when the artwork is hung. Maximum weight for any artwork is 10 Ibs. per linear foot of width. Minimal assistance available moving large or heavy pieces. Damaged photos, mats, frames, glass and Plexiglas will not be accepted. No sawtooth hangers. The SFVACC has the right to reject any photo not suitable for hanging.
