It seems the New York gallery was briefly shuttered due to Covid but is back in the swing of things. Currently, they are showcasing Zachary Armstrong's Twelve Animals which I found to be a very whimsical take on the animals of the Chinese zodiac. The paintings were really textured lending it an air of playfulness. On exhibition as well are Curtis Barnes (We Wear the Mask) and Robert Rauschenberg (Subjective View). Barnes is also based in Dayton, OH but instead of animals, explores the Black experience in the Midwest with an equally lively palette.

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 went to Gallery 25 on 2/1/25 to have some vintage baseball cards framed. I met Chris, who is a…read morevery friendly guy and will talk your ears off. Chris told me that this would take 2 weeks to complete. If by 2 weeks, he meant 10 weeks, then it was 2 weeks. No matter how many times I called, nobody EVER picks up the phone, so I had to keep going in to his shop (I live 25 minutes away). I asked to have pictures of the unfinished product sent to me before the work was completed to make sure I liked it, and everything was the way I wanted it (spacing, borders, colors, etc.) After 8 weeks, I finally got an email of the pictures, and it was wrong so the layout had to be changed. Finally, after 10 weeks, after the changes, I picked up the frame. Then, I gave him much more expensive cards ($2,000) to frame and told him that this can't take 10 weeks. He assured me that this time it would only take two weeks. I told him that this frame had to be the same size as the last one since I would be displaying them together. I called after 2 weeks to see if it was done, and as usual, nobody picked up the phone, so I left a message. I said the same thing as before. Make sure you send me pictures before you seal up the frame. Of course, nobody called me back, I called 4 more times that week, left 4 more messages...not ONE call back. Then, suddenly, I get an email that the frame is done. I went in and picked it up, brought it home and noticed that not only was this frame bigger than the first one, but the borders/frames around the cards were MUCH bigger than the first ones, so the white borders of the cards could not be seen. It made the cards look much smaller. They do not look like real baseball cards; they look like imitations and copies that I've seen online. The spacing of the cards in relation to the engraved plaque was off as well. I emailed Chris again (since there is no point in calling), and he told me that he was NOT going to redo the piece and it looked just fine to him. He didn't even want to hear what the issues were. It could have been a small fix. I would have even been willing to keep the larger frame but at least change the borders around the cards to they look real. Maybe it looked fine to him, but he is in the framing business, not the baseball card business. It was not what I wanted or asked for. You can see the difference in the 2 pieces. One has a slight orange frame around the card for a nice hint of color, while you can still see the white borders, and the other where the white borders are completely covered up and there is a dominating large gray frame around the card. The two look nothing alike. I was going to sue him but it wasn't worth the filing fees, or my time for $230, which I never even got a receipt for since I paid cash. So, if you want to wait 4 times longer than it should normally take for your merchandise to be completed, have your calls ignored, have zero communication with who is doing the work, and have them make their own decisions as to how YOUR items come out.... then this is your place.

The Living Museum is located on the south campus of the Creedmore Psychiatric Facility.

The art is sophisticated, creative, unique, thought provoking, and is for a good cause. This is not only a fantastic art museum, but a wonderful therapeutic outlet for patients. I connected with one of the founders, Dr. Marton, as well as Dr. Reyhani, the director of exhibits. They were both warm, accommodating, and responsive. They helped me to see this exhibit, which I have now recommended to each of my friends who frequent New York. This is emotional. Intense. Maybe life changing. Best museum in New York, hands down.
