The piece is fantasy style and she had after much going back and forth found 2 frames in a fantasy style, one had similar colors in the frame to the needlepoint ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! She also allowed my 9 month old poodle into the store as well. I have more needlepoints that need to be framed and I will keep coming back to get them framed. Terri hope you get this but I found the name of the website where I get my needlepoint threads and I think they are reasonably priced it is www.everythingcrossstitch.com they are located in another state and do ship I've been using them for years and I found their prices to be better than going straight to the DMC website!

Upscale contemporary art gallery. This one is located in midtown on 10th avenue (they have a Los…read moreAngeles location as well). Large, airy. As with most other galleries, free. They have some lesser known artists, but most of their exhibitions seem to be from bigger names. I visited for the colorful, powerful, larger than life (literally, with 10-12 foot plus paintings) Kehinde Wiley expose. If you need a refresher, one of his career highlights was painting Barack Obama's presidential portrait. They represent and present a broad range of artists with eclectic styles. I recommend checking in periodically to see if there is anything to interest you.

It is still conveniently close to the original location but significantly more spacious and comfortable, which really enhances the overall experience. The studio is a Black& woman owned business, and the owner was professional, welcoming, and very clear with her instructions throughout the session. I appreciated how easy it was to follow her directions while painting on canvas, which made the experience enjoyable and stress-free even for someone without a strong art background. This is a great creative space and a business well worth supporting.

The visit turned into a real eye-opener. Fabio, along with Patricia Delahanty and Elizabeth Helm, generously put their work aside to spend time with me -- so much so that I started to feel guilty. They walked me through the remarkable history of the NSS (founded in 1893, making it one of the oldest sculpture organizations in the country), explained the benefits of membership, showed me around the space, and shared their beautiful publication, Sculpture Quarterly. Big changes are also coming to their website -- worth keeping an eye on. If you are a sculptor working in any medium, or simply an art enthusiast who finds yourself in Midtown, stop by. It's the kind of organization that reminds you why the arts matter.

My Friendly Frame Man on Flushing Main…read more If you grew up in Flushing you definitely know 'Busy Bee' now called Busy Mall. You had the video game store in the back selling used SNES games and Super Famicom games. Of course, you can't forget the guy in the back with the pony tail selling Zippo lighters and all kinds of knives. It was truly a young Asian miscreant's candy store. He even carried pepper spray and ninja stars. FYI his shop is still there minus the weapons. The jewelers also pierced your ears and chained you up to look the part during the days of wide legs, black lip-liner, beepers, and bleach blonde bangs. I can't help but to have a nostalgic moment of the Flushing of my youth upon entering this establishment. Now, let's get to the real reason of the review. I purchased several prints on Art.com intended to be gifts. Sadly, the site charges a ridiculous amount for the prints to be framed. After a little research, I decided to have them framed at this local spot that's been there forever.They have a section tucked in beside the jewelers on the right. The jobs were all done within a week's time and came out looking flawless. I almost wanted to keep the art for myself. It's absolutely amazing how a nice framing job accentuates the visual appeal of an art piece. The best thing is you can negotiate price the friendly frame man. I got three large prints done for $120. The largest piece was a 40'x30'. I think he originally wanted $130, and I talked him down to $120. He was reluctant to agree, but he hooked me up. I liked the impeccable quality of his work so much I went back to frame another print. He asked for $40 but I talked him down to $35 after an endearing conversation about how he should quit smoking cigarettes. I'm definitely going back for any future framing needs.

I have been to countless openings , and exhibitions. All of them flawless and impeccably curated. Unlike many of the galleries in the area, or city, for that matter, the front desk staff and associates were very professional, engaging and curteous, (not pompous or aloof). Some of the most outstanding artists of the world are represented here, and the staff represents this level of representation and curation, as well. Lovely people and I am always invited to their openings.

Awesome art installation by Leo Villareal. I have nothing but awesome feelings for the artist and…read morehis amazing light installation artwork. The lights are simply stunning. The chandelier lights and the square ring of light would look amazing in any home. Chandelier light is massive. Security guards both times were rude. The female security wouldn't allow us to take a photo underneath the light installation. Which I guess I understand except I see photos of people geotagged on instagram and they're underneath it. It just seems like security wants to play favorites which is unfortunate because it took away from the experience. I have money saved I'm not going to spend it all by breaking art pieces. I'm not klutzy when it comes to expensive items. It just cheapened the experience when the two female security guards both times (could be the same woman) were being so rude. Especially telling us we needed to move. But where were we moving to? There were people standing on one corner (and security was on the other corner) like do we ask the gallery goers to move over? I would've thought nothing of it had it been more people. But we specifically went on a non-weekend day and at that time we entered there were no more than 6 people including security and my friend and I in a 700-800 square footage of space in the second room. I would've happily moved had there been people behind us who wanted a better view. Except nobody was behind. What are we moving for? Just don't quiet understand security like there are more pleasant security at Dominique Ansel bakery and their line was out the door. The doorman at the Dominique Ansel was so kind to my friend and I last summer and that place is smaller and narrower. Maybe Pace Gallery should up the class and hire more pleasant security to make a more pleasant experience. I wouldn't even mind pay as you wish many museums do if it meant hiring security without attitudes. Both times the female security here were so incredibly snarly. The two women at the front desk were incredibly nice and welcoming. The security man in the back was nice and pleasant too! So it's not everyone it's just the female security here. Something is just not right with the female security.
