Artists and galleries deserve the best for their exhibitions.
We know first hand that you put a lot of effort into your work. That's why we offer the only framing that can properly complement your pieces.
Great Bear Frames often frames entire exhibitions for individuals, galleries, and institutions. Here's why our clients choose frames made by the Great Bear:
- Hardwoods - natural hardwood poplar, maple, oak, and ash.
- A variety of colours - natural grain poplar or maple, transparent white, solid white, charcoal grey, tar grey, solid black, sherwood brown, dark walnut, mahogany, furniture brown, and cloud gray, among others.
- Reusable and sturdy - the lift-out back strainer helps you to use your frames again and again as you swap out your artworks for future exhibitions.
- Aesthetically sleek - suitable for a wide variety of paper artwork.
Take a look at these frames made for the U of A Museums Galleries at Enterprise Square. These natural maple frames were used in their last International Print Exhibition: Canada and Japan.
