Floating box canvas, by Greekboy on Sept 22, 2015 22:37:13 GMT 1, Could anyone share info in regards to floating a box canvas in a tray frame? There are a couple of pieces I am considering framing, but my framer insists that the canvas is screwed into the tray frame to hold it in place. Is this standard practice? Any info would be appreciated.

... a common way is to screw a wedge shape to the tray and then add an opposite wedge to the canvas frame and with a bit of skill lift and join the two wedges together a bit ying and yang so to speak ...

... he could even leave off one side of the frame and slide the two wedges into place before sealing it screwing the edge frame into place - if you are after a tight-ish tray frame.

MEMBERS • Please Post & Share Links to New PRINT RELEASES and Auctions below

rparducci • That's a good idea ,have you got any pictures of what exactly you meant? Was thinking of maybe ornate in red too? What are your thoughts

ollie123 • @

Daniel Silk • We are getting some very encouraging stats on the forum this week as I continue with the board and threads changes.

zatarro • Looking for artwork of ROA. If someone has art from this artist to sell, please let me know. Thx

cdot • www.instagram.com/p/DCmJRlct3XV/?img_index=4&igsh=Mmc3MnZmajhkM3Fx

Daniel Silk • The number or Boards and Threads continues to fall as we simplify the layout of the forum.

Daniel Silk • I hear a lot of Artists complaining about Instagram in the past year, how it used to be a good tool for Artists, but it's not good anymore, is that true?

anyaart • For Brett Kern fans, I noticed there is a spinosaurus for sale on E-Bay. It's a limited edition, one of only 60 made. This is the rarest of his dinosaurs. I am not the seller. I already have the same dino purchased in 2016. I've never seen one up for sale

Dive Jedi • Get well soon, Daniel Silk . All the best !

Daniel Silk • Apology • Sorry I have been offline this past few weeks, due to a very bad Fever. I'm slowly getting better, step by step, and catching up with things here on the forum on the days I'm well enough. Thank you for your understanding.

Boy Wonder • I read that they were more or less nicked the same day they went up. Loads of fakes exist.

milou2 • Would love to see any photos of Banksy's first exhibition at the Severnshed in Bristol (2000). Who was there? *

jirr • Hi all, over here in the states. Pandemic put me out of business, need to sell this asap. Please send offers thanks so much

matgab • Steven Harrington - Gotcha first ed for sale.

1nkling • I can't help but think that a more reasonable tier for people who just want to support the work you guys do would raise more income. Then other tiers for those that want specialist benefits.

1nkling • As soon as I saw the heading for the email I thought 'Oh yeah, I use that place a lot. I'd happily support it'. Not at £40 a month though. I have a paid sub for a Formula 1 site I use that is very active. They have a high uptake on subs at £12 a year.

1nkling • Pricing on the new supporters sub seems a bit poorly thought out. £40 a month to have a pinned sale thread being the only listed benefit?

Daniel Silk • The forum now has more than half the number of Boards than it had a year ago! As we work towards simplifying the layout.

Daniel Silk • Become a UAA Supporter - urbanartassociation.com/thread/109961/supporter-urban-art-association

Daniel Silk • You might have noticed we are still working hard to reduce the excess of threads across the forum. We are down 10,000+ already.
