Gallery System Art Displays helps people create better art displays with less effort, with elegantly simple art hanging and integrated lighting systems. We've been in business since 1995, and our systems are trusted at tens of thousands of installations across the US and Canada—museums, Ivy League universities, large and small businesses, libraries, galleries and homes.
The Gallery System hanging concept is simple. Three basic components—tracks, hangers and hooks—make up a picture hanging system. Each component offers several options to match almost any art display need.
• Tracks (in white or paintable anodized aluminum) mount on your wall, typically eight to fifteen feet above the floor. Track sections can be mounted end-to-end to span a long wall, or cut to fit a short space.
• Hangers (stainless steel cable or clear plastic tape) are inserted into the track, and hang close to the wall. The hangers slide horizontally along the track to any position along the wall.
• Hooks attach to the hangers, and slide up and down to any desired height

Gallery System Lighting
Gallery System's unique integrated lighting option makes exhibition-quality illumination easy and economical - use it along with your Original Gallery System's art hanging capabilities, or install on its own to provide easily adjustable art lighting across any wall. Our track-and-wand system offers a flexible, safe, and professional way to illuminate art displays of any size:
- Sleek light wands move easily when your art illumination needs change - the wands can be positioned along the track independently of hangers and aimed to illuminate artworks at different heights.
- Light wands lock onto Original Gallery System track (they are not compatible with the GalleryOne system) at any point; a hidden flat power cable carries low-voltage current along the track.
- LED lamps offer long life, low electricity costs, and art-appropriate illumination
- Low voltage (12 volt) current is completely safe to handle
- Most light components are covered by a 5-year limited warranty, except for light bulbs and Power Pack power supplies which are covered by a 2-year limited warranty
For Basic Setups, Start With Our Handy Power Pack; for Larger Installations, We'll Customize a System for You
Whether you're lighting one wall or an entire gallery, we can help.
For basic installations of up to five light wands, get started with the Gallery System Power Pack. It provides everything you need to power up to five light wands (sold separately) across up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) of Original Gallery System wall track (not compatible with our GalleryOne system).
Will your installation require more than five light wands or span more than 25 feet? Let us build a custom system to your specifications.
Our customer service team can help configure a convenient system that meets your needs and your budget.
The Gallery System Lighting Power Pack includes a UL-listed 60-watt power supply (dimensions 4-5/8 x 2 x 1-1/4 in; 118 x 51 x 32 mm), on-off switch, wall-mounted junction box, and all cabling needed for lighting installations with up to five light wands (wands sold separately).
Use the Power Pack for installations covering up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) of Original Gallery System wall track - note that it is NOT compatible with our GalleryOne system.
Sleek, stylish, and easy to install, our light wands lock onto the Original Gallery System track at any point, and can be moved or adjusted as needed. They draw safe 12-volt power from a hidden cable via contact probes on the wand base.
Wands include specially selected cool-running LED bulbs that provide art-safe exhibition-quality illumination. Their color rendering index (CRI) is 95 and color temperature is 3000K; this means they deliver neutral light that will not alter the colors of your artworks.
