Custom Framing That Doesn’t Break the Bank.
The Art Center’s custom frame shop is one of the most affordable and highly-rated in Memphis. Our framing experts treat your pieces with the same care and precision as museum curators, but without the intimidating price tag or the pretentious attitude.
Since 1974, The Art Center has been the beating heart of the Memphis creative community. Located right on Union Avenue, we aren't an algorithm or a faceless warehouse. We are working artists, dedicated framers, and unabashed supply nerds. Whether you're a seasoned professional stocking up on premium oils or a beginner looking for the perfect sketchbook, we have over 14,000 reasons for you to drop by. Come get lost in the aisles, talk shop with our staff, and discover why we've been the city's favorite gathering spot for creators for half a century.
