    When deciding to have something framed, there are two things that I take into consideration. The quality of the framing and the packaging for shipping. Art Direct checked both boxes. My item was expertly framed and it was packaged perfectly, arriving in mint condition. It would have been nearly impossible for any damage to occur. Art Direct has earned my business. Thank you!

    I'm super excited about my new office gallery wall and especially my beautiful prints from Art Direct! (The four large 16x20s and the floral 8x10 at the top were all printed by Art Direct.) I highly recommend these guys and had to come give them a shout out! I worked with Brent and had an amazing customer experience. He was super responsive and everything happened just as promised/expected. I was able to pick up the prints in Cedar Park within a few days (they also have a location on Anderson Lane). I highly recommend!

    I cannot say enough positive things about Art Direct and the experience I had there! My friend had designed a custom piece of artwork that she told me to have printed on metal using dye sublimation. After calling almost 10 other places and being told "it wasn't possible" and "I'd never find anyone in Austin to do it" my 11th call was fortunately to Brent at Art Direct who told me immediately that not only could they do it but that they were excited to create this piece for me!! Brent, Demi and all the other staff were so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I felt like they cared about the piece as much as I did. The piece was completed quickly and they even delivered it to my house! I would ABSOLUTELY use them again and you should too!

    Fantastic work! We acquired an oil painting on canvas in Europe, rolled it and brought it home to Austin. We also had a few lithographs. We took them to Art Direct to stretch the canvas and add a nice frame, and mount the lithographs with glass and matte. The Art Direct location had a lot of different frames to choose from and the staff was very helpful. This was an expect craftsmanship, I can highly recommend them.

    Fantastic! Had a 40x80 canvas stretched. Solid frame and price was fair and lower than anyone else I spoke with. They are quick to respond to emails and everyone I spoke to was a delight! They don't upsell you, they listen to what you want and walk you through the process. Will ALWAYS use them for all framing needs I have!

    Art Direct is an awesome business. I went to their new showroom/framing shop with a previously framed art piece. The art had been framed by an online framer that promised hinge mount tape, which is an archival mounting process that allows valuable limited edition art to be more easily unframed. Unfortunately, when I opened the frame I found that the art was taped down with double-sided tape to the foamboard and couldn't be removed. The guys at Art Direct took a look, and offered to help with removing the art piece from the foamboard. They called the next day and let me know they were able to get it removed. It had taken 3 1/2 HOURS to remove, but it was done with absolute care and for an amazing price. They went above and beyond for me. My wife came to the second visit when I picked up the unframed art piece and loved the collection of frames that they have on display, and they have HUNDREDS of more framing options beyond the ones displayed. They also print gorgeous art on metal and have a CNC machine for all kinds of custom work. The framer that helped with my project has more than 20 years experience and really loves all the art he gets to work with. I'll definitely be back to support this business as I frame future pieces. Keep an eye on them, they're just getting started with local framing and will be - already are to me - the best place in town to visit for framing.

    What an amazing place! Brent was so helpful and friendly. We found so many amazing art pieces for our home. We highly recommend this place to anyone

    They recently framed a large Dutch print for me and did an outstanding job. Their aesthetic input on frames and mats was really helpful. Their price was fair, and I liked dealing with the folks there. The turnaround was also very quick--less than a week. I'll definitely give them any future business.

    Our finished painting!

    We were gifted a beautiful painting and needed to get a frame to go with it, my fiancé found out about Art Direct through an online search and we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the girl who helped us (I want to say her name started with a D...), but she was absolutely amazing! She was very knowledgeable about all of the different frames and helped suggest different options for our painting. She was very patient with us switching between different options and helping select a frame that fit what we were looking for! When we went to pick up our frame the staff was very friendly as well! They did an amazing job with stretching the canvas and putting the frame with it! We will definitely be coming back for our next framing job. They also do prints, which we were excited to learn about as well!

    Have you ever gone some place and felt totally transported to another place in time? That is…read moreexactly how I felt today. The is the one of the coolest art galleries I have ever been to. A05 gallery features work from a variety of artists in so many mediums. Dr. Seuss collection is one of their consistently highlighted pieces. In addition, they also have a Disney section. The key thing I like most about this art gallery is the uniqueness of the pieces - from African inspired pieces to Austin-centric pieces. There are works of art portrait-like to many items that are abstract, my personal favorite pieces of art. Today, I wanted to see if they had any lacquered pieces. The ones on display were of Marilyn Monroe and Madonna. Not sure I want to view these ladies every day... Smile. It was great to see Todd again, the manager of the store. He reminded me that they were open 7 days a week and that they had more pieces online. Todd is always so pleasant to talk to. Another joyful aspect of visiting A05 gallery is that you do not have any high-pressure salespeople putting you in a chokehold trying to sell you something. Some of their art pieces are quite pricey, and some very affordable. Net, net, I love frequenting this gallery.

    I had no idea this place existed until Shana found it. We don't come to the Arboretum shopping area…read moremuch but we have been and never noticed this place before, it has some amazing art for display and sale. From big names to local talent it has something for everyone. They have art on skateboards, movie frames, artwork on Cap Metro bus tickets, a whole section of cool artwork from Dr. Seuss stories. The guy behind the counter was very nice and full of helpful info without being pushy or coming on strong. There are so many things to see here and they used the space very well. We ended up picking up a few things, the owner also has viewing parties and events you can go too. Being artwork some of the pieces can be pricey but they have different types and sizes of artwork to fit most budgets. It was a hidden gem and if you are an art lover or an artist I suggest taking a look.

    UPDATE: Recently went back to get more ACL gear framed. Malu did an amazing job, will be back…read moreagain! We had a great experience getting our ACL gear framed by Malu. Malu was clearly very passionate, creative, and knowledgeable when it came to picking out specific frames and mattings to really make our items pop (she was very patient in allowing us to look through various samples until we found the pefect combinations for each piece). Pricing was super transparent and fair, lead time to get the framing was great especially for being during the holiday season, and Malu was super communicative throughout the process. The shop itself was very warm and welcoming. Malu does a great job of hanging pieces throughout the space so you can get a sense of the options and styles that are available. We will definitely be back for our future framing needs!

    A loved one passed away a few months ago. In going through their belongings, I came across an item…read morethat immediately had immense sentimental value for my family and I knew it had to be professionally framed. By chance, I visited Blue Skies Art & Frame shop on the first or second day of its opening. I had not scheduled an appointment and Malu wasn't quite yet ready to be able to serve a walk in. I mentioned I would be leaving town for a month or two that same day so I, unfortunately, would not be able to schedule an appointment around that time. I was very understanding as to why I couldn't be helped but to my pleasant surprise she accommodated me without hesitation. Malu guided me through the process with such patience and positivity that I left knowing my personal item was in the best possible place and in the best possible hands. Malu kept me informed on the progress throughout the process, which I appreciated. After months went by, I finally returned to Austin and her shop. I still remember seeing the finished product for the first time hanging on her wall and immediately being blown away. The frame absolutely exceeded my expectations, and I could not be happier with how it came out. Even though Malu had been busy the months prior getting her business set up, she still remembered how important the item was to me and treated it and me with care to the very last moment. The fact that the frame came out beautifully and my family loves it, is the cherry on top. I'm not one to write reviews, but this is the best framing experience I've ever had, hands down. Malu is a great person, extremely talented, and you can trust her to deliver high-quality work.
