Framing the things you love since 1960.If you can think it, we can frame it.

The framing counter

You bring in the diploma, the jersey, the wedding photo, the grandmother's needlepoint. We talk it through, pull mouldings and mats off the wall, and build it by hand in the back. Then you see it finished — that is the part everybody loves.

The animation gallery

Walk past the framing counter and the walls change. Production cels, original pencil drawings, background paintings and limited editions from all the major studios — the collection that turned a framing shop into a destination.

Since 1960

If you think it, we can frame it.

Neighborhoods change, storefronts turn over, and Art World is still here in Forest Hills — framing for the grandchildren of our first customers.
