This week's favorite framing project is an autographed photograph of Joan Crawford inscribed to Clark Gable. The warm matting complements Joan's beautiful, flawless complexion, while the subtle floral pattern of the ivory frame hints at her elegance and grace. A delicate gold inlay further enhances the image, drawing attention to her stunning gown and adding a touch of Hollywood glamour.

What a treat it is to imagine that remarkable era—filled with style, romance, and cinematic magic. Framing pieces like this allows us to preserve not only a photograph, but also a glimpse into a fascinating moment in history. ✨🎬💕

Bring us your treasured photograph, old or new, and we’ll help you choose a frame that beautifully enhances its character and preserves its story.

Chalk the Walk was incredibly popular over the weekend! It is always a joy to see the colorful creations left by customers, people passing by, and those spending time downtown, and often stopping in after hours to add their own artistic touch.

This ongoing, open-ended art experience is available 24/7 under the canopy at Frame Gallery. Just grab a piece of chalk and get started!

Chalk the Walk is an important part of the vision behind Frame Gallery's Makers Market. We believe art should be accessible to everyone, and that the simple act of creating is one of life's greatest rewards.

Join Harriet Runkle for a Whimsical Paper Sculpture Workshop on Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the Studio at Frame Gallery Gifts and Art. This workshop is for all ages, and children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

Using just three simple folded paper shapes (the tear drop, the accordion, and the spiral), you can create whatever your imagination dreams up. Start with one idea and watch it transform into something completely unexpected along the way. From abstract designs to figures, creatures, and wild inventions, it’s amazing what can happen with colored cardstock, glue, a pencil, and your own hands.

This is fun art, not fine art — and the process is every bit as exciting as the final creation. There’s no right or wrong way to do it, just experimentation, play, imagination, and discovery.

The workshop fee is $20 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under. All materials are included, and the sky is the limit on how big, small, simple, or elaborate your creations become — or how many you make during the workshop!

Paper Sculpture Kits, along with other creative kits made from upcycled scraps from Frame Gallery, will also be available for purchase, so the creativity can continue long after the workshop ends. These take-home projects offer a fun way to keep exploring, creating, and transforming everyday materials into unique works of art—just for the fun of it.

This week’s surrounds a gorgeous paper piece by our very own Connie Keetle. We floated the artwork to preserve the beautiful deckled edges of the paper, while warm brown matting picks up the subtle earth tones within the piece. The top mat extends the muted blues and grays of the artwork, and a raised mat adds depth and dimension.

This mixed-media work, created with acrylics, colored pencil, and charcoal, is topped off with a rich, dark wood frame that complements the texture of the piece and highlights the deep walnut inks Connie makes herself.

Custom framing is at its best when it quietly enhances the artwork without competing with it, and this design does just that—drawing your eye to Connie’s intricate details, rich textures, and beautifully layered surface.

While we framed this specific piece for a customer, more of Connie's paper pieces, giclee prints, canvases, and notecards are on display and available for purchase in our galleries. Stop by Tuesday-Saturday, 10am - 5pm.

Sadly, we will have to say goodbye to the few remaining pieces from our current exhibition, “A Lamp, a Ladder, or a Lifeboat: Meditations on Rumi,” this Saturday as the show comes to an end.

Not to worry—you’ll be seeing more of Kate and Kim’s artwork in the galleries, and they are also planning a paper cutting workshop this fall in the Studio at Frame Gallery. Here are a few of the pieces that are still available.

You can purchase artwork through our online shop. Please note that all artwork is available for in-store pickup only.

We’re open Tuesday–Saturday, 10–5, and would love to see you in the gallery!

Come see Hattie’s other faces, Linda’s fabulous wax batik paintings, and more original art by local artists at Frame Gallery Gifts & Art. We are open Tuesday–Saturday, 10–5.
