[OMS_MANAGERS] Historic photo displays

[STUART Sheri * OPRD]

In vacant windows, it is helpful to hang a curtain or set up a screen to block off the rest of the space and create a venue to display the photos. That helps give the photos more prominence and reduce the visual clutter in the background. Nice to create a vignette rather than just putting the photo on an easel by itself. Be a little creative by using props w/the photos! You can sometimes find folks in town who are really good at decorating or good at staging properties. They might have props you can use.

A new way to do the photos is as window stickers/clings/wraps so they can be placed right on the glass…

Astoria has done several. It sounds like you have a store front window?

In that case, we’ve found it best to set up a large upright post of some sort. We’ve used just two by fours on a base. Then we print photos on foam core and attach them to the post. We use form core because it doesn’t require framing and won’t get floppy.

Hi!

Have any of you done historic photo displays in vacant downtown windows? We're working on putting one together in Dallas, and are trying to figure out the best way to literally set the photos up in the window... any input would be appreciated!

Thanks!
