There are lots of companies that make walls and other fixtures specifically for art shows. Off the top of my head I can't remember the names of them, but I'm sure a quick web search would get you quite a few listings. They can be quite pricey.

I did a very big outdoor show last fall (and got a $7,000 commission from it!) I just displayed half a dozen framed paintings on easels, under a white 10'x10' canopy that I bought at a local camping store. I had a few banners and signs made for the sides of the canopy, at Kinko's. I had a card table covered with a floor length elegant table cloth on which I put my portfolio and business cards.

I also did a painting demo for the two days of the outdoor show, which got a lot of attention. It also let me get quite a bit of work done on the beginning stages of a commission I was working on.

Next year I might spring for some more expensive booth fixtures but I haven't decided yet.
