I have had numerous pieces custom framed at D. Pratt's wonderful shop in Rye! Unfailingly, it has…read morebeen a pleasant experience each time I deal with the knowledgeable and good humored staff. The work is superb as well. To the person complaining about the 'fee', I say, by all means GO to a lumber yard.... You get what you pay for. Additionally, the AIR is always pleasant and smoke free! The prices are in line with what I expect to pay at an award winning frame shop. I heartily recommend David Pratt and his superior staff of framers!

I literally downloaded Yelp because I feel strongly enough about custom frame and color and the…read moreguys who run it to leave another side of the story. They're the best! I've used them for years for framing and matting. They are capable of genius when cutting down a frame to fit another painting. If I want a French mat done, I don't even need to suggest the colors used. If I ask for a watercolor or print to be "floated" on a lower bed while a raised mat surrounds it, a little bit of lovely magic, they can do it. While generally, I do not order frames, they have a great line of frames - both contemporary and traditional. I've priced frames out locally and they are very competitive with their pricing. As to the time it takes for them to complete a project, I've gotten jobs back in 48 hours. It depends on how busy they are. Thankfully for them, lots of people agree with me and there are times when it takes alittle longer to get my project back from them. I have never smelled cigarette smoke in there ever. The gallery is clean, airy,and open. The work that they've done for me has been hung at the Winter Antiques Show in January in New York City. It's hung in my home and the homes of numerous other people. Can't recommend them enough!

This collection of art galleries has decreased by one location since our last visit, but still…read moreworthy of an extended visit. We once again started off at the lobby of the Grand Hotel which featured several paintings by Nataya DeSena. We then went up the hill to Shows where enjoyed the work of David Whitlock. The Gallery offers the works of many artists and currently offers an exhibition of those by William B. Hoyt and, as always, the wind sculptures by Lyman Whitaker.

Great experience! Tess was very helpful and knowledgeable, which made the visit both easy and…read moreinformative. The staff was welcoming, and the gallery has a strong range of artwork that appeals to different tastes. An excellent place to check out and discover great artists.

I had the opportunity to visit the Moss Galleries because my neighbor across the street is an…read moreartist and had an opening there. So close to home! It's a really nice, large space. There's a huge carpet in the middle of the room (at least with the current setup) but I can see how artificial walls could easily be brought in to make even more wall space. Having said that, it would also be a great space for sculptures. The woman working at the desk seemed very friendly, though I did not take the opportunity to chat with her much. I do feel like it's a bit of shame it's in the middle of a strip mall next to Shaw's, but we can't all land primo real estate I guess. Having said that, it's a perfect opportunity to drop by once every couple weeks before/after your grocery shopping. I believe I will do this in the future!

If you want to see (mostly) Maine artists' work, well-hung and well-lit, Elizabeth Moss Galleries…read moreare the places to go. They are welcoming, not intimidating, and the Falmouth gallery has plenty of parking. The line up is always different at the Portland gallery than the Falmouth gallery. Both offer insights into Maine's artist community at the highest levels. Elizabeth is the right person to advise you on choosing art that works for you in your space-- office or home. Their framing services are top notch, but it's the art I go for. I make a point of visiting the galleries regularly. The shows change about once a month and even when I don't want to take any piece home, I do find the work intriguing.
