I recommend framing it with glass that filters out ultraviolet. It is more expensive but will protect the colors of your pigment. That is still not an ideal situation for your painting. Instead of putting the painting in the storefront window, would it be possible to make a print of it and framing the print behind glass? That would serve as a good introduction to your show, as you could have your name printed large on the print and then the actual painting could be hung as the first painting they see when entering the gallery.
