Our staff helps you pick out the best design for your piece. We build every frame on site, using archival materials and techniques. Every piece is framed using our acid-free materials and UV-protectant glazing.

“I have had several pieces of art framed at the old location on Irving and at the new location on California, and I continue to be impressed with the high quality and great service. They make great recommendations, take the time to explain the options, and work within your budget. Definitely recommend!”

DAN AND ASHLEY
“I grew up going to Artisans with my dad. We followed them from Union Street to Irving and now to California Street. This is where I go when I have special photographs or paintings to frame. I let them pick the frame out because they do such a great job.”
As artists themselves, Ashley and Dan have a total of 40-plus years combined experience in the framing and other art industries.
They are committed to continuing the long legacy of the shop’s tradition of preservation framing, involving the direct participation and collaboration of clients throughout the design process—and are excited to help make your framing dreams a reality.
