I painted a section of wall in my computer room with Rustoleum magnetic
paint.  I top-coated it with a neutral gray paint, and I use small,
high-powered magnets to hold up prints.  These are my favorite:

ceiling I attached two pivoting light fixtures.  These are the cheapest
kind of fixture, costing only a few dollars.  They are a plate that screws
into a round electrical box.  The bulb holder can be screwed into any of
three mounting holes, and the holder itself pivots.  I have two of them
connect to a dimmer.  The bulbs are Solux.  If you do it this way, it's
very inexpensive.  If you use Solux fixtures, then it can get pricy.
