Self-standing black display boards set up for a school art exhibition with framed artworks

Display Boards: A School Art Show and Exhibition Essential

There’s a real buzz around a school art show or a community exhibition — all that hard work finally up on display for everyone to admire. The secret to making it look the part? A good set of display boards.

What makes them so handy

Our display boards are self-standing, so you don’t need walls to mount anything. They’ve got a black, felt-like surface that’s brilliant for pinning artwork or sticking up posters with Velcro dots. That means you can turn an empty hall, gym or foyer into a proper gallery in an afternoon.

Flexible by design

Because the boards join together at the top, you’re not stuck with one rigid layout. You can create a long flowing wall, a zig-zag run or even little booths — whatever suits your space and the flow of foot traffic. It’s a doddle to rearrange them if you change your mind, too.

Brilliant for…

  • School art shows — show off the students’ masterpieces in style.
  • Exhibitions and expos — create tidy stands and dividers.
  • Information evenings — pin up posters, plans and photos.
  • Community events — split a big room into welcoming sections.

Pins or Velcro?

It’s worth deciding how you’ll be mounting things before the day. For lightweight pieces, good-quality Velcro dots do the trick nicely, whilst the boards’ backing also takes pins for heavier posters. If you let us know what you’re displaying, we can point you in the right direction.

We can set them up for you
