What makes our framing process “museum quality”? 

Museum Quality Framing Includes: 

• Using archival methods and materials as approved by the Library of Congress.

• Preservation glazing with Museum Glass and Optium Museum Acrylic. 

• Hinging your artwork with Japanese tissue and starch paste. 

• All framing methods are easily reversible without any damage to the art.

How much does custom framing cost and how long does it take? 

• Prices vary depending on size and type of framing.

• The best way to get an estimate is to bring your artwork in and we can explore different price range options. We accept walk-ins or contact us for an appointment.

• Turnaround time varies starting at approximately 2-3 weeks for basic framing orders.
