Before & After: Effects of Custom Framed Art

For those of us in the art or custom framing business, we understand its importance and the value framed art brings to a room. We share our passion for it and our knowledge of it with you so you will be excited too. 
Remember, not everyone lives in a home that looks like those we see in magazines. With custom framing you can suit your style.

Dear Friends of the Gallery,

 

"Artistic Minds and Wine", the Gallery's recent fundraiser to benefit the Venice Area Historical Society (VAHS) and to celebrate 30 years on the Island  for Collectors' Gallery was a great success.

Not only did everyone seem to have a good time but VAHS treasurer said that the proceeds of the art raffle "knocked his socks off".

Our artists and customers are the best ! 

Hats off to our featured artists, Bill Buchman

http://www.collectorsgalleryandframery.com/bill-buchman/   , Caroline Jasper  http://www.collectorsgalleryandframery.com/caroline-jasper/  and Vladislav Yeliseyev http://www.collectorsgalleryandframery.com/vladislav-yeliseyev/ who each donated a giclee for the raffle and were on hand to meet and greet.

Thank you one and all for your generosity. Special thanks to Peter Sayer for fabulous staging, Café Venice for scrumptious food and drink and the ever tireless team of Lynn, Ed and Audrey.

 "The Art of Gifting"

The next time you need the perfect gift, consider custom framing a piece of art, a special photo, or a memento. Flowers last a few days, a nice dinner lasts a couple hours, but frames can last a lifetime. Because so many things can be custom framed, you can easily come up with a unique gift for every occasion. Here are some ideas to get your own thoughts flowing.

 

License Plate Framing     

 "Unky Al" is what a lovely young lady named her Uncle when she was a toddler.  Uncle Al was so pleased with this nickname that he had it put on his license plate.  Al has passed away and his niece is now grown and getting married.  Uncle Al's widow had us frame his license plate as a shower gift for her niece.  Wonderful and personal gift giving.   

 

Gift Yourself 

GIVE YOURSELF A GIFT! From time to time we all deserve to purchase something for ourselves. You may have a special keepsake you have been saving that would look perfect in a nice frame. Perhaps you need to find a great piece of art to complete a newly decorated room.
