I recently started dipping my toes back into film photography and was looking for a place to get my…read morefirst roll developed when I ran across the positive reviews for this location. I haven't had film developed since the '90s, so I was certain I was going to end up at a chain, but I decided to look for a local business. Kerry's far exceeded my expectations. I walked in and explained to the woman at the counter that I hadn't done this since likely before she was born. She took my email and told me I would get a message when the film was done and that my scans would be sent via a link. They offered me my negatives, but the first roll was only a test and I said scans alone were fine. I was not expecting my pictures within an hour, but that was the turnaround. The scans were magnificent. I bought a new roll of film while I was there, and the selection is much better than Walmart's and the price was fair. I'm floored with my first experience at this lab. Not only will I be shooting more now that I know I have a lab in the area, but this is where I'm taking all my business.

I learned that this business had the distinction of being the oldest framing shop in the country dating back to the early 1900's and has remained a family run local business during this time. (Wow! That's impressive!) Initially based out of the Arcade in Downcity Providence, they moved to this location in the 1970's and have continued to expand over time. What you will find today are three massive floors filled with artwork, prints, drawings, ceramics, etc from great local artists in addition to their large framing area. They can handle all types of projects small or large and provide service and support both locally and out of state. They boast quality craftsmanship, lifetime guarantees on their work, and prices that are comparable to what you'd find from the big box chains that offer framing services (no coupon needed!) The difference is the years of knowledge and experience you get when choosing Providence Picture Frame as well as the good feeling you get knowing that you are helping a long time family run store stay in business for future generations. You'll also find friendly employees who care passionately about their business, their community, and helping the customer get exactly what they are looking for. Pro tips: Consider shopping in their gallery for unique and special birthday or holiday gifts. Not sure how to display that special photo, artwork, or sentimental item? Stop by to talk to them about their custom framing ideas and to preserve your one of a kind item for a lifetime.

Repeatedly took film here to be developed and it was just fine. Then one time when I went to get my…read morepictures, all I had was negatives. The woman behind the desk said that's what I had asked for. But that wasn't what I asked for. So then I had to spend more money to get those negatives developed into pictures. I think some avid photographers just want negatives for some reason, but I can't imagine most people don't want prints. I didn't even know you could only get negatives from a roll of film. She, as the professional, made an error in judgment by not assuming when I asked for my photos to be developed - like I always had in the past as a repeat customer - that I wanted prints. She wasn't remotely apologetic. I won't go back.

Here to review the framing. I needed a piece framed, matted, and wired in a custom frame last…read moreminute for an exhibition. I called a couple of places in the area and it was clear folks were trying to give me the run around and were being shy in their estimates. One place quoted me a truly unreasonable price for just a simple matte. I've gotten plenty of things matted and have done plenty a matte myself. No one ever charged what they told me. Lucky for me, I called up Jerry's Artarama next. I got a really good estimate for my frame but the framer was also honest about how pricy things could get with certain materials. Throughout the whole experience, I was never blindsided. Fortunately for me I also was able to take advantage of their custom framing sale. And there is another 10 percent off for members! When I first came in, it was clear the framer was sensing where I wanted to go with things, rather than leading me to the obviously most expensive options. She gave me solutions using frames they already have made (they have a large selection for reasonable prices) and also what I could do to make things fancier for extra. She showed me the difference between the museum plexiglass and regular plexiglass and explained that the major difference is UV protection. She also gave me the samples to compare for myself and choose, and we agreed on just appearance they are rather similar. I ended up going for museum grade but I really appreciated how she showed me all of my options and the prices and let me decide. She also helped me pick a frame that they could order in time and helped me choose which frame and matte width looked best. Even the rush pricing was not exorbitant. When I came to pick things up, it was wrapped, wired with bolts, matted, plastic protected, and ready for shipping. I came out of the experience with first class work/service and I never once felt preyed on. I think some framers can take advantage of the fact that a lot of people don't know a lot about the framing process or what is reasonable and so I really appreciated how professional and friendly Jerry's Artarama was through the entire process. I totally recommend them to both art professionals or to anyone who wants to frame a special photo. I am so incredibly happy with how everything worked out and will be back soon!
