I recently had a large canvas (59" x 75") that needed to be stretched onto a gallery-style frame,…read moreand I visited four different framing companies to get quotes. Among them, Affordable Framing in Tempe stood out by a mile, thanks to Kirtis, the owner. From the moment I walked in, Kirtis was incredibly knowledgeable yet personable with a sense of humor to match my own. He was honest and straightforward, taking the time to explain how the costs aligned with the steps needed to complete my project. His genuine interest in my portrait was evident, and it made the entire experience feel personalized and trustworthy. Not only was his quote lower than most of the other companies, but he also completed the project in half the time others had projected. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and the entire process was smooth and efficient. I already have several future framing projects in mind, and I know exactly where I'll be going -- directly to Affordable Framing. No more wasting time shopping around across Phoenix. The best work always comes from someone who takes the time to understand their customers and asks the right questions to ensure the scope of work matches their needs. I couldn't be happier with how this project turned out. It's now the centerpiece of my entryway, and everyone who visits is talking about it. I'm thrilled with the outcome and grateful for the exceptional service I received. I'm happy to share the completed piece below -- I'm still blown away!

They are very knowledgeable and provide perspective and options without overstepping any creative processes. As a designer I know what works well together and they trust me.

I first met Frank in our gym's sauna. After some discussion, I found out he worked at a framing…read moreshop. The timing couldn't have been better because I was looking to get a really nice, customized frame as a gift. After setting up an appointment, giving some general guidelines on what I was looking for, and providing some pictures going along with the frame's theme, I pretty much just sat back and let the talent (Frank and Alex) work their magic. They came up with a product that shattered all expectations. They were both extremely professional and courteous throughout the entire process. I would get consistent updates on the progress and anytime they were making a big design decision, they made sure to include me and get my take on it (although for pretty much everything they sent, I said "looks outstanding! Let's go with it"). The picture below does not do the frame justice to how good it looks in person. But, the below picture is of the gorgeous piece of art Frank and Alex at Celebrity Framing created. Thank you guys!

Great experience. I will be back!!

I honestly cannot believe I have not been here before this recent visit, as I love crafting, but…read moreusually had gone to the Joann's down the street (RIP). I was on the hunt for some specific paper for bookbinding and was not disappointed by the options. Not only did I find the blank paper I needed, I found a great selection of more specialty and fun paper as well as stationary pens and a few other basic bookbinding materials. They have much more than that though, including all your arts and craft needs, paints, pens, pencils, canvas, etc and fun trinkets, cute stationary type such as journals, stickers, etc. The prices are all very reasonable and they do offer student/teacher discounts. They were running a back to school donation drive for the local schools, which you received a 20% coupon for a return visit. It's only downfall is the parking, alas it is on campus and shared space with lots of high traffics restaurants and groceries, but if you don't find a spot right away, usually a lap or two will do it.

J-Wow Fact: I majored in graphic design…read more Yes, it's true. You can't tell by my kindergarten stick figure drawings, but I majored in fine arts AKA my parents' nightmare. With all that said, Jerry's is a delight. I came here as an art student and I still come here now. My niece is into the arts, so popping in here for birthday and holiday gifts is a no-brainer.

It gives a 10% discount on items. Sweet! I bought a blank journal for a bargain rate price. Shared parking lot and WiFi.

I was a…read morestudent in a black and white photography class down the street at Chandler-Gilbert CC when they opened. They had asked us in our class to submit a photo for viewing for a student photography exhibit at Art Intersection. I have visited numerous exhibits over the years since discovering this place. Art Intersection is located on the second floor of the Heritage Court Building. In addition to being a gallery, they offer a variety of photography classes for both beginners and experts. They also have a wet darkroom and both a process and digital lab that you can rent out. I have taken a photoshop class here in the past and enjoyed getting to know the founder Alan Fitzgerald. He has a deep passion and love for photography and is fun to chat with about photography. Every few months Art Intersection showcases an artist's photography work in their gallery. This includes an opening night reception where you can meet the artist and chat with them about their work. It's a great way to learn about many of the local photographers here in the Valley and view their work. The annual "No Strangers" exhibit is one of my favorites to check out. They used to have a fun event called Phototapas where they would celebrate the art of photography during the month of February. If you want to check out some great photography work and avoid the hassle of a larger museum, Art Intersection is open throughout the week and is free to visit.
