“A Window into the Artist’s Mind”

EASY LANE FRAMES & SELECT ART GALLERY
3440 Broadway in North Bend

We are excited about our current featured show: “One of my Favorites”. This show features work from 26 local artists whose work was completed in various mediums. Each artist was asked to select a piece that was a favorite and then the artist was quoted as to the reason it was a favorite. Some of the work was selected because of sentimental attachment to the subject, the complexity of the techniques used, the memories that it recalls for the artist or a special medium or color scheme. By reading each of the artwork tags you will see into that artist and learn more about what inspires our local artists. We ask all of the visitors to the gallery to write a comment in the guest book and then at the end of the show those comments will be shared with all of the artists. Come and take the time to really get to know our talented artists. This show will be featured until July 2nd.

We are a full service frame shop and enjoy the challenge of framing your pieces to set them apart and enhance your artwork. We are equipped with a computerized mat cutter that can do all sorts of fancy cuts and designs. We also have the “Visualization” program in which we can try different mats, moldings and designs and then show you what the completed piece will look like before you make the purchase. This is especially helpful with large artworks. The framing and matting is like the frosting on the cake…don’t under estimate what it can do for you work. We always offer a 10% discount to students, BAAA and CVAA members along with the military.
