Studio 3 celebrates its 44th year!
When Studio 3 first opened in Downingtown in 1965 it opened as a gift shop and art
gallery. The brainchild of New York artist and collector, Hilda Rath,
it was the first of its kind in the area.
In September of
1978, Mary Holleran purchased Studio 3 from Hilda. Owning a shop may
have been new to Mary, but art materials and framing certainly were
not. In fact, while in high school, Mary began working as an apprentice
at Studio 3. Over the years, Studio 3 evolved and left the art supplies
behind. The business expanded to offer museum-quality framing by a team
of skilled employees. After 28 years of being the heart and soul of
Studio 3, Mary was ready to retire.
June 13th, 2007 marked
the sale of Studio 3 to Kyley DiLuigi. Kyley's love of art and framing
led her to pursue her dream of owning a frame shop after graduating
from Kutztown University with a degree in Fine Arts and a concentration
in Photography. As Studio 3 began to change once again, one thing could
be certain: Studio 3 would always be the place to go for custom framing
and quality service. A staple of Downingtown is Studio 3's ever changing window displays. You can watch a slideshow of images through the years by clicking Here!

While you may not consider a diploma art it represents years of hard work and schooling that you should be proud to display on your wall. The best way to preserve this memento of your schooling is to have it framed. There are many great ways to frame a diploma, whether you choose to showcase your school colors with matting or follow a more traditional approach, each one will highlight your achievement. During the month of June Studio 3 will have on display several examples of diploma framing.
