Lowell Gallery

A few years ago we framed four pieces for the artist Mark Dion IG: @markdionstudio . If you've been to any contemporary art museum in the last 10 years you've probably seen his elaborate installations. He seems to always introduce some element of humor or inside jokes into his work and and these prints were no different. #contemporaryart #customframing #markdion #historyofnaturalhistory #taxonomicalart #lowellma

Almost ten years ago if you stepped into Cliff and Linda Hoyt's home in Lowell you'd travel back in time with their vintage ad collection, many of which the Lowell Gallery framed including this giant iconic Ayer's Hair Vigor poster from the late 1800s. These artworks capture the charm of an era unaware of the danger of ingredients like lead acetate! #VintageAds #Nostalgia #RetroCharm #HistoricalArt #AdvertisingHistory #customframing #lowellma #shoplowell? If you're fascinated by this era of advertising history, we have a copy of the Hoyts' compendium of JC Ayer advertisements titled "A Century of Cures" in the shop, or you can purchase it at https://lnkd.in/eQZVySvj. Amazing documentation and in full color.

We've got new regular hours starting this week: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 11-4pm. That doesn't mean we're closed Monday, Tuesday or Saturday, nor does it mean we aren't around earlier and later in the day. Just give us a ring or check the Booking button to find out.

Here's a picture we found of a large work we framed years ago. It's by the prolific and talented artist Stephen Clements. If you haven't seen his work you're missing out on one of the most collected artists in the area. This one you can't have though as it's already found its home long ago. #StephenClements #ArtCollectors #FramedArt #LocalArtists #ArtCommunity #customframing #lowellma #shoplowell

Ever thought about custom shaped mats? Did you know it was possible? The truth is, almost everyone "just wants something simple", usually because they've never seen what's possible. This "Moss Lord" 3-color #linocut by Kathleen Neeley (Instagram: @kathleep ) — evoking the lush and bountiful beauty of nature — seemed to be begging for this treatment and there isn't anything extravagant or ornate about it. It's still simple and it works. We do it all the time with our computerized mat cutters #CMC and you'll never get that service with the online places. #custommats #endlesspossibility #creativepossibility #customframing #natureart #lowellma #kathleenneeley

This summer we've been finally trying out regular hours after almost 4 years. It's limited, only Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 11-4pm. However that doesn't mean you can't set up appointments for other days, and earlier and later times. Check out our availability on our Facebook page and click on "Book Now".

Gone golfing? Here's a project a customer brought us to commemorate six businesses they worked with. Each golf ball has the logo of the business, and the balls are mounted non-destructively using a special technique for jobs just like this. Adding anti-reflective Museum Glass makes it look like it's not even there at most angles. #golfingmemorabilia #customframing #customframingideas #framingmementos #businessgifts #businessgiftideas
