NESBA Framing Guidelines

Example of a D-ring hangers.

  • Hangers should be D-rings. No screw eyes or sawtooth hangers.

  • D-rings should be placed 3-4 inches from the top of your work depending on it’s size.

  • Make sure the wire is taut and will not show above the frame when hanging.

  • If you use a ready-made frame with moving clips, you must stick masking tape over them around the edge where the frame meets the back to lock them in place.

  • Work should be framed with Plexiglass - no glass. If you are re-using a frame, inspect the Plexiglass for scratches and dust. Click here for Plexiglass cleaning tips.

  • White or off-white mats

  • Simple, light , medium or gold wood frames (see examples below) — no metal frames
