We too have ribbed carpet on our gallery walls. I love the stuff: I never have to paint it or touch it up; take down one show & put up the next. Vacuum once a year. A little care and clever use of expanded poly as cushioning has allowed attaching large constructions to the walls with sheetrock screws. But, best of all: VELCRO sticks to it! All the labels and texts are supported on the wall with little velcro dots. Valcro also helps to keep difficult artworks (=student) in place and level.
