What kind of frames are you using? Are you using change-out frames like the ones you buy from Michaels or Bed and Bath, etc.? I'm guessing you're not using sealed-back framing with acid-free, archival mats.
I use wood frames, acid-free mats, UV/non-glare glazing, with a sealed back. The frame, mat, hardware and backing alone costs me about $50 for 8 x 10 and 11 x 14, but it looks great, like something you'd see at a gallery. If anyone knows of a source to get this level of frames for less, I'd love to hear about it.

These prices are roughly 3x costs except for the framed 8x10 (I can't see charging $50 for one) and for the Framed 10x22 (custom frame and glass got pretty pricey, but cannot see charging $175). The show types we are looking at doing are along the level of small city art festivals with a few smaller school art and craft shows mixed in.
