We use a cable hanging system (nails and screws are not drilled into the walls) on the perimeter walls of the gallery.

Cleated work will generally not be suitable for cable hanging and will be placed on the T-Walls or other non-cabled wall. All art 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.
