October is National Picture Framing Month, and thousands of frame shops and art galleries will be celebrating with a variety of special events and programs designed to promote the enjoyment of art and framing as a part of daily life.

Founded in 1997, National Art & Framing Month is an opportunity to “Picture the Possibilities” that art and framing can bring to homes, offices and public spaces.

The National Art & Framing Month Council helps frame shops and galleries develop programs and marketing plans to bring awareness to the value of art and framing, especially during the month of October.
