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.

May your weekend be golden!

Framing that sticks out! We added some depth and dimension to this piece with a reclaimed wood combo. We’re always grateful to have the opportunity to work with pieces from Wisconsin artists – especially ones as beguiling as this!

Every piece we work with has a story. This work is based on Eleanor Roosevelt’s redacted FBI files. Did you know she has one of the largest files of any individual – totaling some 3,000 pages – most of which contains her civil rights work?

Big cats. Big frames. Big smiles. That’s a smile, right?

Subtle differences can make a significant impact. Do you prefer the warmer or cooler combo?

When choosing a framer, we suggest working with those who are fluent in cat. Coincidentally, our staff has feline fluency – plus some conversational canine!

Enjoy a few looks at a recent installation for Wisconsin Housing Preservation Corp. Love all those positive vibes!

These Japanese-style Pokémon prints are so much fun. We got some great color matches in the mats and metallic moldings and …it’s super effective!

Curly maple is a lock for this beautiful curly ‘do.

“A rare glimpse of a custom tiger maple frame in its home territory. For now, it enjoys the comfort of whirring saw blades and exhaust fans as it rests. But, it won’t be long before it gets to work, gracing a fine piece of the likes we rarely see...”
–@davidattenborough, probably

Blank or finished, we're happy to give your canvas a stretch!

Mini art, maximum style.

If you got a few record signed (or even if you didn’t), why hide them away on a shelf? Give ‘em the rockstar treatment and show them off!

What. A. Year.

2021 has officially come to an end at Monroe Street Framing – we have closed up shop for a break until January 2, 2022.

The last two years have been unpredictable, scary, and stressful at times. But we adapted, shifted, changed and grew with every challenge that came our way and in those moments, found new opportunities to think about how we wanted to work. The pandemic forced us to slow down in a way we might not have otherwise. Our hours have changed, our workloads have changed, and how we approach day to day operations changed. People first. This is something I'm so exceptionally proud of my work family for – we take care of each other and our customers.

I feel so very fortunate to work with an amazing group of people that have been there to help navigate everything. Talented, caring, exceptional people that held on, waited, and trusted that it would work out. People that came back after everything shut down last year, as well as people that took a chance and joined us during a pandemic. If you know them, then you know. They are exceptional humans.

Everyone at Monroe Street Framing is also blessed with amazing customers that not only trust us to take care of their artwork and framing treasures, but so many people have become friends. Not only could we not do this without you, we wouldn’t want to. We truly love being part of your special moments, preserving them for you for decades to come.

To new friends and old, to my framing team, to all the partners and vendors that we work with and support us…THANK YOU for being a part of Monroe Street Framing! Wishing all of you a very merry, happy, and healthy everything. We can’t wait to see you in 2022!

With much love and appreciation,
Michelle

If we could frame it four times we would.

Gig posters are always a fun time. Anyone catch @kttunstall at @barrymoremsn back in 2016? ✌️

Be honest, is there anything more beautiful than a framed frame?

Owners, let us give you the proper Packer treatment.

Gotta frame ‘em all!

We’re on the brink of the coziest time of year… Stay toasty, friends.

Throwin’ it WAY back with these vintage frames. Some things never go out of style, so these charmers will find a new life on some new pieces!

The SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl doesn’t quite have the same ring as the Rose Bowl, but we’ll still be rooting @badgerfootball on with all the snacks and such we can handle!

Sometimes the simplest presentation is the most powerful.

One of these frames is not like the others. Not that those *other* frames are bad, but we’re just proud of what we can whip up in-house! Go ahead, challenge us on your next project, we’re always game to try something a little different.
