Printing and Framing Program

For artists who do not wish to deal with the expense and hassle of shipping, please consider having your work printed and framed by our neighbor Art Conscious.  You will pay them directly for the printing and framing, which may be less expensive than the cost of shipping your existing framed work.  Please be aware that this cannot be considered signed edition works as you will not have the opportunity to sign it.  At the conclusion of the exhibition, if your works are not sold you can chose to pay Arabi Visual Arts a shipping & handling fee to ship the entire works OR remove your print & ship it alone OR remove & destroy your print.  If the second or third option is chosen, the frame will become available for a different artist at a future exhibition.

Currently we have five frames in the inventory for selected photography.  Please use the contact page to let us know if you would like to compete for one or more of these frames.  This is generally reserved for truly outstanding works from international artists, but may be available to photographers who simply cannot afford the domestic shipping fee.
