Gift Idea: Frame Something Special, 20% off this week
Besides framing paintings, prints, diplomas and needlepoint, Galerie d’Art Pointe Claire (open since 1983) can frame coins, medals, awards, sports items, religious objects, souvenirs, keepsakes, family heirlooms or hockey shirts (in shadow boxes).
Until Nov 30th, they are offering 20% off custom framing from well known companies such as Larson Juhl and Verbec.
Mats in popular sizes are stocked, and custom framing is done at reasonable prices. Over 200 ready-made frames are in stock. There are over 500 hundred samples available, so for sure there will be something to match the art you are framing.
How’s this for a great speedy service: You can bring in your art in the morning, and it will be ready by the end of the day. All work is done on the premises – nothing sent out.
The other half of the store is mainly art supplies (lots of how-to books); there are special deals on stretch canvas all year long. Paints you can buy here are: Liquitex Acryliques, Lukas oil colors, Holbein oils and watercolors, and Winsor & Newton artist’s watercolor and oil colors
You will enjoy their amazing personalized service. The staff really knows their products and have a great ability to help choose the correct mats, frames, and colors that will make your framed item just perfect.
