My students need a series of wire hanging systems to safely display artwork on the walls of our temporary school building while we undergo our two-year renovation.

My Students
My elementary school art students range in age from three to eleven, however, they are far more imaginative than anyone over the age of 30 (no offense, donors)! Our diverse group of learners is increasing every year as enrollment grows, which means our school building is bursting at the seams with kiddos and their fantastic artwork!
Students enter our neighborhood school with heart and brains and it is my job to grow both with art at the core!
My littlest artists come to our art studio with a diverse level of art experiences. Some have been elbow deep in squishy clay before, while a waxy crayon may be the extent for others. Regardless of experience and aptitude, none of them lack in creativity and everyone leaves a more enthusiastic student of art and life come time for middle school!
My Project
Since moving into our temporary "Swing Space" during the start of a two-year building renovation, my students and I have been faced with a real dilemma. None of the artwork will stick to the walls of our "Trailer Village." We've tried every adhesive under the sun and for whatever reason, nothing sticks. Without bulletin boards or cork boards to carefully display the work, our fantastic student artwork is piling up in cubbies and cabinets with nowhere to go. The walls are barren and boring in the new space and our colorful creations would be just the thing to spruce up the place and make this new "house" feel more like home.
I feel like a fish without water being an art teacher without space to display student work.
The wire hanging system would provide a simple, easy to use, and secure way to display artwork without damaging it with holes or sticky tape. The metal fasteners allow you to clip the artwork and hang it from a wire along the length of the hallway walls. This system would provide quick and easy installation and de-installation, every teacher's dream, and the opportunity to display more work more often so that every child has the chance to see their completed creation on display for all to admire.
