Our friends are big fans of Ms Shaw and own a few of her photographs. This a small, pretty gallery…read moreof her new and older photographs. I like how she offers loose leaf binders of her works broken down by location (Greece, Tuscany) or category (lighthouses, seascapes). The surrounding art galleries seem to be disappearing, sadly. Hope Ms Shaw's gallery stays.

Alison Shaw Gallery is open every day from Memorial Day through Columbus Day, and by chance or appointment in the off-season. We're located in Oak Bluffs, on the island of Martha's Vineyard. FYI, we do not do portraits, or family/group photos. We're located on Martha's Vineyard, not on the Cape. Thanks!

We stoped by as part of Gallery Night Providence and I had an opportunity to talk with the owners…read moreand shared that I come from a long line of artists and art lovers, in fact, my great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents have brought many of their items here over the years to be expertly matted and framed. 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.
