For more than 35 years, Frame de Art has combined creativity, community and exceptional customer service to bring its customers’ ideas to life.

Owner Brian Hart opened the Denver-area frame shop in 1991 at just 25 years old. Since then, Frame de Art has grown into a thriving business known for creative framing solutions and a commitment to its Colorado community.

In our Framer Spotlight, Brian shares how the business began, what has kept him passionate about custom framing, and what makes the Frame de Art team’s work so distinctive.

Red into orange. 🔆 We're closing out Feature Friday with Solar Flare — the boldest color in the Nebula collection and the one that stops customers mid-sentence. Six weeks, six colors, zero flat mats.
