    First of all get your frame. The put on the wall a frame of wood the same size as the regular (that is the square or what ever shape of the frame without any fancy edges) hinge the frame to the wall piece, place a hook on the other side of the frame and an eyelet on edge of the wall piece of wood. fasten your art work over the glass or over the wall wood. You need the frame to be like a cabinet or cupboard door. You need something to hold the art work on the wall. You want something that can open and close easily & hold the art work safely. Check out theaters or schools to see how they handle ever changing displays.

      What do you think of this idea? Make a frame out of 1x1's, use like a thin piece of work for the back. Attach to the frame. Use plexi glass on the front. Cut in half and use hinges on the outside to be able to open. Use a hook and eye in the center to keep them together. I forget to mention, use cork board on top of the back board to hold pictures. Then close the plexi glass doors. That way you can open the plexi glass and just change up the pictures.
