I trusted them with an old picture of my grandmother that badly needed repair, reframing and protection from sun. We spent time selecting the perfect border and frame and the result was beautiful. My husband just commissioned a new piece of art and we will take it here for framing. read more

Art Etc - My grandmother (sitting) on her 26th birthday served tea by her sister (1897 Denmark) - Art Galleries Near Me - Chico, California

Owner was great to work with. Helped me pick out my custom frame and make it cooler than I had thought it would be. It wasnt the cheapest (I'm not familiar with average cost anyhow) but I definitely left satisfied and it was quality work. Happy to support a local business. I'll be going back here for any future framing needs. read more

Caleb and his crew at Art Etc are consummate professionals!! I had a bunch of diplomas to frame and Caleb suggested a bronze/brushed black combination that was so gorgeous that I designed my decor around it! He used black and gold mats and each one came out perfect. I drove 3 hours round trip to get here and I don't regret it. I'm always willing to make the drive for quality. I'm a perfectionist and Caleb is too. Plus he's super nice and understands customer service - the frames were unexpectedly back ordered till September but he figured out a way to get everything framed using a standard black frame for now, with the understanding that he'd reframe them once the final frames came in. He gave me 10% off for the hassle of driving back and forth; and for the wait; and even offered to drive them to me! He now has a happy customer for life and I'll recommend him to everyone! read more

What a great locally-owned business! Caleb, owner, was a pleasure to work with. I had 4 family photos framed and he helped me pick out mattes that would compliment the colors. Super reasonable prices and very professional. I chose them over another framing place in town and am so glad I did! read more

Art Etc is a great place to get your custom framing needs done. They work with every budget to come up with the best possible frame for your art and photos. It is also home to some very fine artists such as Dave Simcox. Art Etc also has an art classroom in the back, Art-E-Studio. Kids and adults learn the fine art of oil and acrylic painting. read more

I have done occasional design work in San Francisco for local bars, and I brought 6 limited edition prints and 1 original to be framed here, most of which are now hanging happily in a swanky little bar and lounge in San Francisco called ChurchKey. Why would I bring my artwork 180 miles away to get framed? Well, for one thing, it's A LOT cheaper. For two, I had happened to see a few art pieces by Dave Simcox (one of the Art Etc owners) and wanted to inquire about possibly using his art in a few locations in the Bay. Dave and John couldn't have made things easier for me. I generally don't have the desire to look through matte board or frame options, so I pretty much told them "Don't make them expensive, but don't make them look cheap, either." I know, great direction, right? But they got it. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, and the owner of the bar feels the same. They were able to use repurposed wood for the frames to save me a few bucks without skimping on the quality, and I get to boast that we made a slightly nore eco-conscious choice. I am definitely coming to them in the future for framing. Also, just a side note... I've heard those commercials on NPR claiming that Chico Paper Company is the oldest framer in town. Actually Art Etc. has been around longer. It's not a big deal, it's just the facts. read more

I love this place! Anna and Dave Simcox have always been super nice, and very accommodating as far as material costs go. I have a few pieces hanging in my home framed at Art Etc, and they're complemented far more than I would expect a frame to be complimented :).... Overall, a very "Chico" family-run place which deserves your patronage. Plus there's a sweet old collie dog to say hello to when browsing art! read more

You immediately feel welcome and delighted stepping into Art Etc. The shop is visually inviting and the owners are attentive and caring. Anna and Dave not only offer a large variety of services and experiences connected with art, they also encourage and support the community through forward thinking involvements. Art Etc an asset to Chico and the arts. read more

Art Etc. is my go-to frame shop for all my projects. I have never been disappointed. I used to frame my own, then I discovered that I could get my pieces framed less expensively and with the care and quality that I expect. Anna and Dave have created a unique space, blending select local art pieces, framing services, and art classes. They are so warm and friendly, one never feels uncomfortable getting advice from these two talented individuals. They truly care about the Chico art community - and it shows... read more

I wrote a very nice review and it was filtered - so here is one that just can't say as much as I'd like to. Is this Ok, Yelp? Completely agree with other reviews to date. I am not an inherent "art lover" and don't often visit galleries or shops for fun. That being said: Dave and Anna are simply amazing and have created a great nest of really tangible art. It feels like they have done a great job of making art tangible. Our framing has come almost exclusively through Art, Etc, so it is easy for them to match new frames to our old ones. If I couldn't get it from Art, Etc I likely wouldn't have much on my walls. Bottom Line: Go here!! If you need a nice (little?) piece of art as a gift or for house decor, or need great looking custom framing for a fair price, or like local Chico shops that have shop dogs, or don't know much about Art & don't want to feel judged. read more

Anna and Dave are great merchants to have in our community for artists and art enthusiasts. My art students from, Chico Art School, are always very pleased with the framing options and the wonderful service provided for framing children art as well as the adult paintings and drawings. I highly recommend giving them a try for your framing needs. There is also fantastic artwork and gifts throughout their shop. Many amazing works of art by Dave himself. I love the rug he is currently working on made from ceramic tiles. Wow! Go see it!! read more

I went here a while back and brought a painting to be framed. I told them my students budget (which wasn't much) and they totally worked with me! Who does that?! Obviously, their customer service goes above and beyond. Nicest people and superior quality :) read more
