(54) Art display system and method


(57) A system for displaying illuminated art which includes an electrical/frame kit with interchangeable components and a flexible media (3) imprinted with artwork which combine for display of the artwork as on a table lamp or hanging lamp. The media (3) is constructed out of a flexible sheet of plastic or a fabric-plastic laminate which is formed into a cylindrical or oval shape or other cylindrical shape. The framework for supporting the illuminated media includes a slot provided in a central ring to accommodate a light source of an electrical assembly, whereby the light source is prepared so that the user assembles it without having to wire the electrical components and wires. A digital library is set up where museums or other institutions or businesses can upload images of selected artworks formatted to be printed on the flexible sheets of the media.
