New Artists

I've actually had a moment to squeeze some new art into the gallery!

Check out who's currently exhibiting.

And remember, we're always looking for new artists to show. So, if you or someone you know is an established or budding artist, we would love a submission. It's easy! click here.

Gallery views and news

Yesterday was a productive day at the gallery & frame shop. We have received some submissions from new artists interested in having us carry their work. This is wonderful as we have put out the Call for Artists and want to fill up the 2008-09 schedule with some new work.

We enjoyed looking through their presentations and look forward to updating the blog with our decisions shortly.



We also spent some time rearranging the gallery for the new work coming in. It's funny but true that you have a to make a mess to make things better. Everything came down from the walls and the place looked quite a sight!

Now the gallery is a showplace again. It's a joy to be in there surrounded by the wonderful artwork.

New year a new focus

It's been busy at Custom Art Framing and Gallery!

The new year brought new energy and members to our staff. Keeley Flynn and Kim Morin Weineck join owner/operator Julie Vecchio, Production Manager Nancy MacCallum, and Rachel Carmine.

Kim Morin Weineck, Gallery Director, brings exciting news: we're seeking artists for the 2008-09 schedule. If interested, please check our submission guide. Keep in mind, we're looking for all kinds of work: oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolor, and also 3D sculpture, jewelry, and other artisan crafts. We do hope we'll be hearing from you soon.

In addition, we're happy to announce our Saturday Workshop Series focusing on the "Business of Art." Learn the ins and outs of being an artist from drafting your artist statement to photographing your work. These two hour classes will be held every other Saturday from 12 noon-2pm. Cost is only $30 and includes lunch and handouts to continue the work on your own. It's a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and learn something new. More information will be following here and on our website.

Looking forward to many postings to come!
