I have purchased a number of framed artwork from "art.com" and they were all very well done and less than half the cost of a custom project done locally. According to their website, they will soon be offering framing services for artwork that you mail in to them. If this service is available, I would highly recommend this company.

If it is a standard size, the most inexpensive way to frame it is too look at the ready-made frames available at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc. You can look on their websites first to see if they offer frames in the size you need.

Otherwise, both of those retailers also have custom framing depts. and they can do more than typical rectangular frames if you wanted something different. Check for any available coupons.

We used Michael’s to reframe a piece that was in my childhood home.

They did a great job offering ideas and actually framing it.

The update was 100% successful.

Once again the " TYPICAL " ... Suggestion(s) on where to go for whatever with ZERO Location.

And once again I am " The Only One " who not only named the Business but gave the " Location "

My question is very simple why is it that poster give a name & leave out the location ? ...

I just type the company name into the Google Maps app and it instantly provides everything you need to know about the company: location, directions, phone number, website, hours, etc. The location alone is not much help because I would always call the company before travelling to it, or at least visit their website.

Well, looking at it from that perspective, maybe you should give the OP a lecture, too, for not using google in the first place.
