Ways To Make Your Art Display PortableUp until about ten years ago it was extremely difficult to make an art display portable. Protecting the art from damage, creating boards that could fold without destroying the artwork and being able to travel easily were all challenges that were faced when trying to make portable artwork for exhibits, trade shows, and art shows. Up until about five years ago the equipment needed to create a portable art display was so expensive that these challenges were still faced by the majority of exhibitors. However, with prices dropping and technology rising to new heights, it is easier than ever to make your art display portable. There are many ways that you can make your display portable. The traditional way was to create canvas boards and staple the artwork to the canvas. This made changing artwork easy and pain free. Hinges are used to allow the boards to attach and fold. The artwork itself had to be cut in an unobtrusive section and attached to the canvas in such a way that the picture would be complete and the seam almost invisible when folded out. This was highly inefficient, expensive, and often did not give the look and feel desired for exhibits.
Today there is a lot of technology available to help you make portable art display. Some of this equipment can get a little bit pricy, but a lot of it is actually very affordable when you look at the comparative cost of printing, binding, and displaying artwork in other forms and fashions of the past, because you only have to spend the money once. One of the most common ways of making an art display portable is through slide shows or Power Point presentations. These need not be shown on a small laptop screen, either. New projectors that can often be purchased for as little as one hundred dollars are compatible with your laptop computer through a USB port. The projector will work on any blank surface such as the wall of booths or portable display booths. A newer method for creating a portable art display is through the new Smart Screen. This is a new version of previous touch LCD monitors. Rather than simply being an LCD monitor with touch capabilities, this screen actually connects to a base computer or laptop using a wireless network connection. It saves the battery on your laptop, and in itself has a battery life of up to 400 hours with wireless capabilities. Using this new technology you can easily make your art display portable while also making it interactive, which is great for exhibits and trade shows. You will surely agree that these newer methods of making your display portable are much better than in years past?
