How to Decorate a Display Easel for Gallery Shows
Even if you are done with the creative process and a gallery has been arranged for your art show you still need to do lots of things. Sometimes just the presentation can reduce the importance of your master piece so you should be more creative in displaying your items on an easel.
Mostly, people do not give importance to the decoration of the display easel and present their pieces of art on plain easels. There are also people who decorate easel in a way that it distracts the visitors from art.
However, you can do it perfectly by decorating it according the theme of the show and genre of the artwork.
