Advice on a small local exhibit?

[smolamj]

A local technical college has asked for local artists to display 9-10 of their "peices" (photos, in my case). I got in touch with them for some preliminary info, and they'd like to me serve as their artist in the fall. Way cool. Of course, now I have some questions and could use some advice. I'll preface this with the fact that I am a relatively poor grad student who enjoys photography as a hobby.

-Most of my photos are still on my hard drive. They won't be paying me, so the cost of printing is all on me. Any suggestions on what (canvas, paper, etc.) or where (companies) to have prints made that won't break the bank? I'm thinking the largest prints will be in the 16x20 range.

-I enjoy taking photos of just about anything. My favorites range from the golden gate bridge to some soap bubbles. Any suggestions for how to incorporate my varied interests into a cohesive display?

-Once the display is done, I'd like to sell some of the photos. Obviously there's a ton of info already here at DPS but any advice here would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Photos on canvas is very expensive. Stick with large prints on either matte or glossy paper in the sizes of 13 x 19, 16 x 20 or 20 x 24. Don't foret about the costs for matting and framing as well.
