This includes proper framing, mounting, and labelling. Consider using protective materials during transport, as outlined in the checklist, such as blankets, corrugated cardboard, and protective corners to safeguard your valuable paintings.

Installation and presentation: Consider the practical aspects of setting up your exhibition. The checklist reminds you to think about hanging system, string, tools etc Pricing and sales: Be prepared to discuss the value of your paintings, not the price.
