The work that Monroe Street Framing has done for us and our artists has been incredible – raising the value and the appearance of the artwork in our gallery and shown in our statewide exhibits.

It’s time for a summer fun refresh! Special thanks to @raymawst and @ohyastudio for the incredible work.

Did you know? Free parking is available for customers behind our shop, via the alleyway off Harrison Street.

We had some really great options with this project, eventually tapping into those wonderful hues of blues found in this @welkerstudios print. Why choose one when you can have three?

This project took an interesting twist. Initially, our client wanted to turn this bracelet inside out so the engravings on the inside (initials and birthdates of family members) could be read. But since there was no way to do this without destroying it, Jeremy made molds of the bracelet to cast flat halves of it in plaster. Then, the plaster was gilded to match the metal of the bracelet and incorporated within the frame. The shape of the frame itself, however, retains "inside out" contours to complement the curve of the bracelet. It all came full circle!

Any guesses as to what Jeremy is up to with this project?

Fun art calls for fun frames. Go all out with something chunky, playful, bold, colorful, or intricate; we have TONS of options. The only catch? You have to stop by to check them all out!

Here’s one final look at this springtime-y beauty.

As always, we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Whether on a new or restored frame, gilding bumps up the elegance. ✨

We don’t get too many paper sculptures or reliefs, much less a beautiful work by Frank Gallo. Also, take note of the back of the frame! We now include your project details so you know exactly what is protecting your piece, as well as provide a safe spot for other miscellany or identifying pieces that might get hidden from being in a frame.

Nothing fishy about the frame, but the art? Very fishy...

We are very excited to work with @triangulad0r on a few displays for an upcoming exhibit!

Remember when stamps cost one whole penny? We can’t either!

One of Einstein's lesser-known studies was on the theory of framing, where he postulated that items framed become more enjoyable after they are protected and stylishly displayed in one’s home. We've been peer-reviewing his work for quite some time, and turns out this guy really knew what he was talking about. Who knew?

REMEMBER: Don't forget to mask (for at least a little while longer)!

Did someone say something about cicada season?

A wedding gift of epic proportions!

Everything about this is in such wonderful aesthetic harmony. Who knew an abundance of vibrant colors and whimsical lines could transform into something so dreamy?

We appreciate your trust with priceless originals from upstart artists. ❤️

We hope your week has been... fruitful!

It’s always a good time to support local art. We think this @triangulad0r piece turned out especially nice, love those colors!

We’re always happy to help you explore a variety of options when you have many interests or styles to work with. Eclectic collections are fun!

Details, details everywhere! When color is absent, intricate moulding can be a wonderful companion to an interesting piece such as this.

If daisies don’t just make you smile...
