Dear fellow-listers:

We have two galleries that are used for frequently changing exhibits of
artworks hung using screws, nails, and the like. At one point, the walls
were painted, but the frequency of exhibits made constant repainting
impractical (particularly since the galleries are also used as gathering
places and can't be closed for more than a day or two). We then covered the
walls with neutral gray carpeting. This solution has not been satisfactory
because of staining and spotting.

We would welcome any suggestions, recommendations, anecdotes, or cautions
about what we can do to create self-healing gallery walls that will continue
to look fresh.
