A gallery apparatus, comprising:
- a pair of main supports extending in a first direction with respect to a surface, each main support having a main support cord terminated by first and second main support terminal ends that respectively couple to surface attachments associated with the surface so as to mount the pair of main support to the surface;
- and
- at least one item support extending in a second direction with respect to the surface and between the pair of main supports, the at least one item support having opposed ends respectively having item support terminal ends for coupling the at least one item support to the pair of main supports,
- wherein the first and second main support terminal ends of each of the pair of main supports respectively comprise:
- a neck portion defining a channel configured to receive a respective terminal end of a respective main support cord;
- and
- a loop portion directly attached to the neck portion, wherein the loop portion is configured to directly engage the surface attachment associated with the surface.
