Should I print and frame all my pieces before displaying them in a public space like a doctor's office?

You don’t need to spend heavily on framing everything upfront. Use ready-to-hang media like gallery-wrapped canvas or metal prints that don’t require frames. If you want to include paper prints, then yes, you’ll need to frame those to make them wall-ready. Test different media types in the space to see what sells best and what fits the environment. The key is to make sure everything looks professional and is ready to hang.
