Frame Chicago
Since 1981
For galleries, fairs, museums, and brand activations across Chicago and worldwide. The institutions whose work hangs on walls people remember.
Frame Chicago partners with the Chicago art world and the institutions that work with it. Galleries planning a fall opening. Fairs setting up at Navy Pier. Brands building a 200-piece corporate collection. Museums prepping a traveling show. The work is volume, but the bench standard is the same hand we use on a single artist's commission.
You get a dedicated point of contact from kick-off to install, a written quote within 24 hours, and a single bench keeping every piece in your project on schedule. Worldwide ship, white-glove install, museum-grade conservation, on-site engraving for plaques and labels, archival framing on cotton-rag mats and UV museum acrylic.
We've framed and installed for Art Basel, EXPO Chicago, the United Center, the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago Fire, and Polo Ralph Lauren. The same workshop builds frames for the artists whose work is hanging in those rooms.
Edition framing on a deadline. Liner mixes pulled from the artist's palette. On-site install the morning of the opening. We've prepped shows at Mariane Ibrahim, Soho House, EXPO Chicago, and a dozen Chicago galleries.
Art Basel, EXPO Chicago, brand pop-ups, hotel openings, hospitality activations. We work to the install date. We crate, we ship, we set, we walk out before doors open.
Corporate collections from 20 pieces to 800. Museum-grade conservation. White-glove delivery and install with a single point of contact. Engraved plaques and labels produced on-site, mounted in-house.
One curatorial piece or a chainwide rollout. Same bench, same hand, no production-line drop in quality.
Custom crating in-house. We ship to fairs, galleries, and collectors in 40+ countries each year.
