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.

We appreciate the trust you put in us for every project, but memorials are extra special. ❤️

Just when you’ve thought you framed it all… Go figure.

We’re always all about the details, so we’re always all ears!

Some of our best work is done under a little pressure.

Let’s keep a good thing going with these metallic/silver projects. This 2014 @madisonprintclub print goes architectural and modern, so we did too!

Is there anything better than when a collection comes together?

The way the light catches that silvery frame…

Mats make monochrome marvelous.

“Take that Poppy seed, for instance: it lies in your palm, the merest atom of matter, hardly visible, a speck, a pin's point in bulk, but within it is imprisoned a spirit of beauty ineffable, which will break its bonds and emerge from the dark ground and blossom in a splendor so dazzling as to baffle all powers of description.”
—Celia Thaxter

A quality project always starts with the best ingredients.

Do you love poring over options? Us too! But if you prefer, you can always leave the picking and choosing to our designers!

“The truth is, most of us discover where we are headed when we arrive.”
—Bill Watterson

Anyone remember The Hub at @hilldalemadison? Quite the deals... (And ice cream?!)

It’s been a while since we gave a shout out to our top shop dog, Charlie. What better time to remedy that than on #InternationalDogDay?

A frame is like a snuggle buddy for your art.

Black cats often get a bad rap, but we can give them a good wrap with tasteful black and white mats and classic black molding.

There are many ways to dry flowers. Some methods include pressing, using silica gel, or even microwaving them, but the best method seems to be simply letting them hang upside down in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. It might take a little more time, but the results speak for themselves!

Pulling out a bit of color from a grey print can lend a boost to the hues found within as well as break up the grayness.

Reduce and reuse! We work with both new and old frames so there’s no need to part ways with an old classic if you’re simply refreshing the artwork. ♻️

Deckled edges are always worth showing off with a float mount.

No matter if they’re signed copies, collector’s editions, first presses, or just books you hold dear, we can ensure a clean presentation and safekeeping. Who knows? You just might need to turn a few pages again some day.

Is there anything worse than misplacing your documents? We have a little trick to store those items out of sight but always nearby…

Out of concern for the well-being of our staff, families, customers, and community, we are committed to doing all we can to be as safe as possible. Our steps include wearing high-quality masks, frequent hand washing, sanitizing, not shaking hands, maintaining safe distances from others, staying home if we don’t feel well, and following all CDC and PHMDC protocols should someone have a positive test or close contact with a known positive case.

Thank you for your support and patience as we all continue to navigate these considerations and changes.

Jules Rehder was a popular German painter who spent a considerable amount of time in the Madison area, known well for his landscapes and portraits. We were privileged to work with a couple of his pieces a few years back. Both of these works depict landmarks that are still in place today. The first is a painting of @monroestreetmadison’s Old Plough Inn (formerly the Arbor House, now An Environmental Inn), the second is a view to the capitol from one of Madison’s most popular nature preserves. Does anyone recognize the view?
