Hampton Roads Convention Center
When convention centers rotate their art exhibits, the process can be both time-intensive and costly. Holes in walls, endless patching and repainting, and the labor of repeatedly re-hanging frames can quickly add up. Fortunately, modern wall art display systems present a solution that drastically streamlines the installation and removal of artwork while preserving the pristine look of any venue. In this post, we’ll explore how the Hampton Roads Convention Center leveraged AS Hanging Display Systems’ Click Rail Track to efficiently manage frequent art changes - and why these systems might be right for you, too.
The Challenges of Traditional Hanging Methods
For large, open-wall environments like convention centers, traditional nails-and-hooks approaches come with serious drawbacks:
- Frequent Wall Damage
Constantly putting nails or screws into walls leads to unsightly holes and repeated repair work. - High Labor Costs
Re-hanging an exhibit often requires ladders, multiple tools, and specialized staff, adding to operational expenses. - Downtime for Exhibits
Each time you remove one show and bring in another, the space may be out of use, causing potential loss of revenue.
Wall art display systems, such as AS Hanging Display Systems’ Click Rail Track, effectively eliminate these problems by providing a one-time installation that supports fast, flexible swapping of artwork.
Hampton Roads Convention Center: A Success Story
- One-Time Installation
The Hampton Roads Convention Center shifted from nails and patchwork to a Click Rail Track. The initial setup required minimal wall preparation, significantly reducing the need for subsequent repairs. Once the tracks were installed, staff could easily adjust cables and hooks without drilling additional holes. - Easier Setup and Take-Down
Whether it was a small art showcase or a large-scale exhibit, staff found they could quickly reposition or change displays with minimal effort. Frames simply slide along the rails or adjust vertically on cables, cutting down on both time and manual labor. - Lower Ongoing Costs
By adopting these wall art display systems, the convention center saved on repair expenses, reduced the need for specialized staff, and minimized exhibit downtime. Over multiple exhibit turnovers, the return on investment became clear. - Enhanced Aesthetics
Gone are the days of distracting nails, misaligned artwork, and last-minute patching. With a sleek track and nearly invisible cables, the focus remains on the art itself. Exhibits look professional, and the walls remain in pristine condition.
