MOUNTING THE FULL SHOW:

MOUNTING A SMALLER VERSION OF THE EXHIBIT:
For smaller venues, a show of 30-40 images is practical, and requires 150 running feet of wall space, with spotlights preferred.

STAND ALONE EASELS MAY SUPPLEMENT LESS WALL SPACE:
With stand-alone easels for some photos, one could get by with less than the minimum wall spaces stated above, and accommodate more photos.
