National Art and Framing Month at High Desert Gallery -- Conservation Framing
We have a boatload of events in
October! Come “Celebrate National Art and Framing Month” at High
Desert Gallery. We hope you can visit us this month and please read about our events .... but first ....
Do you know what “Conservation
Framing” means or why it is so important to consider? Did you know that High Desert Gallery is a national awarding winning art and custom framing gallery? Remember we are more than just blue ribbons -- We offer quality, everyday value, expertise, and excellence and craftsmanship in every design. All with real customer service and smiles! Stop by and visit us in downtown Sisters and Redmond Oregon.
Conservation Framing (sometimes called
Preservation Framing) refers to the materials and techniques used by
High Desert Gallery to frame valued art and objects to the highest
standard. From matboards to glass to the paper cover on the back of
the frame, we can provide a variety of specialized products and
methods to display art and objects in the best possible environment.
As in any skilled craft, each professional framer develops an individual style of Conservation Framing, but there are a few principles generally regarded as standard:
- All materials used in the framing should be stable, non-staining, and acid-free.
- All attachments used to support art or objects in the frame must be completely reversible, with no harm to the art or objects.
- If glass is used in the framing, there must be space between the art and the glass.
What deserves Conservation Framing?
Anything being framed that has value to you, its owner. This might
be fine art or investment art, or it may be a family heirloom. It
may be a college degree—or it may be a child’s crayon drawing of
a sunny day.
Conservation Framing helps to preserve the value and condition of the framed art and objects you display in your home or office, and it usually doesn’t cost much more than standard framing. We hope that you select High Desert Gallery as your custom framer but if not please make sure to ask about conservation services any time you have something framed that is valuable to you.
We take pride in our custom framing gallery and in our recent awards that makes the gallery unique in Central Oregon. Just a couple of our awards -- High Desert Gallery was honored in 2005, 2006 and 2007 by Decor Magazine as a "Top 100 Art and Framing Gallery in America" and voted "Best Art Gallery" in Redmond, Oregon (2006, 2007 & 2008) and Sisters, Oregon (2005, 2006, & 2008) by the readers of The Source Weekly. In February 2008, High Desert Gallery was awarded First Place and Top Honors in the Professional Picture Framing Association 2007-2008 International Open Framing Competition.
