Art on Canvas/ Fabric or other Materials: Stretching and Framing
Paintings on Canvas/ Fabric:
Typically, the first step in displaying a work of art on fabric is to stretch the fabric. An oil or acrylic painting on canvas (or other flexible, fabric material) is typically best displayed when it is stretched around a wooden frame commonly known as stretcher bars. A loose, flexible fabric needs to be stretched taut so as to maintain a flat surface. Once this process is done, the stretched canvas or fabric is now able to have an additional frame added. Adding a frame provides an aesthetic enhancement as well as added protection for the artwork. In many cases, stretched art may also be hung on the wall — without an additional frame.
Digital prints:
The rising popularity of good quality printing has increased the offering of art digitally print onto flexible materials. Unlike art-prepared canvases, however, most of these prints can be problematic to stretch using the same techniques and materials which are used for true paintings. Our experience has shown that such digitally printed art is best treated by permanently mounting to a rigid substrate. Once mounted, the art can be framed — either with or without glazing.
Please contact us for more info about digital art mounting and framing.
Art Restoration/ Conservation Services
We are always happy to consult with our clients regarding the restoration and conservation of art. Some minor restoration services may be possible on-site. Services we cannot perform ourselves can be facilitated by highly qualified, professional conservators with whom we can recommend. In order to best advise you, we ask to please contact us in advance, so that we may have qualified personnel available to assist you.

Art Packing: Shipping/ Delivery Services
Within certain size and material restrictions, we can expertly pack your framed (or unframed) art for shipment or transport by truck freight service or UPS. In some cases, art may safely be can shipped via UPS. For a fee, local deliveries can be arranged through either a third party courier service or trucking co. with whom we recommend. Please feel free to inquire regarding available options and price estimates.
*Shipping tip: we strongly advise against the shipping of art with glass. Even when the art is well packaged, it is still highly susceptible to glass breakage. The best practice is to have us remove the glass prior to shipping and either re-fit with acrylic, or arrange for a qualified framer on the receiving end to facilitate the re-installation of the glass.

Hello… I purchased a framed poster of Bob Dylan from your store around Xmas time. I am moving and no longer have space for the print where I am heading. It is in mint condition and was barely touched. Is there any chance you might be willing to re-sell it in your shop on consignment for a share of the profit? Otherwise its looking like I will just have to give it away …
It such a beautiful piece and I would love for someone else to have the pleasure of its company.
Please let me know? I can bring it by your shop anytime this week.
Thanks so much.
Best,
Katy Hansz
Can you tell me if I can get photos printed at your business. I need two 11 x 14 prints done by this Wednesday.
Thank you.
