Frame mounting

The O or D rings should be securely installed on the FRAME.

The metal buttons/tabs that hold the backing into the frame MUST be fully into the frame.

If you are looking for "D" rings for your artwork, you can find them at Home Depot and Rona.

If you are using frames with built in tabs on the backing, please be sure they are securely inserted into the groves on the frame. Glass and matting can off-set the connection and damage your artwork.

and where we inspire others to embrace the arts as an essential part of their lives.

and supports visual, audio and new media art. We strive to connect and engage
diverse audiences while providing resources and opportunities for artists to thrive
and create impactful work.

Mississauga Peoples, and is the traditional and treaty territory of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

and waters on which we meet today.
