Portable and Tourable Art Stands

This idea was pitched almost a year ago from Janet Mlodecki, but it's finally started.

We're taking 3 indoor doors and connecting them together to make an "N" shape with standard door hinges to fold together. The N shape will keep them stood to hold art onto them along with removable bottom brackets. The bottom brackets will be built as two triangle on each side, held together by a strip of steel on the bottom. The bottom strip of steel will fit into a grove at the bottom of the doors.

Next is to see if we can modify the size to make the doors more transportable and if we can hollow them out to preplace artwork inside the casing of the doors for a faster setup. They are hollow to begin with but we need to make sure they will stay stable with only one layer on one side. An idea to keep them stable is to add a thicker sheet of plywood on the side that keeps the layer. It also makes it more stable to attach picture hanging accessories.
