This was the go to shop in Fort Collins for years. Sadly Marcy ( who is just a gifted framer & a…read morenice person) is gone & this shop has changed owners. I brought an original piece of western art in for reframing, mainly because Marcy helped frame another painting years ago & did an exceptional job. BIG mistake! First, the owner handled my art without wearing protective gloves and second, many of the moldings that were chosen were out of stock so a huge waste of time. She also took personal cell phone calls while I just stood there, as if my time and business were not the priority. I felt incredibly disrespected during the entire process and should have bailed right away, but again, I think I was still not fully aware that this shop had taken such a dive. Then there was the price. All framing is pricey, but this was outrageous. She quoted me $1400.00 . I decided to just do it as I had a time constraint , but later found the original frame & decided to tweak that. She was very rude about that even though it was the same day. It took over 3 weeks to complete a VERY simple job. Yeah, won't be back! So disappointing . A total waste of time, emotions and money.

One of my relatives in Colorado had brought multiple pieces in over the years some time ago and has…read morealways received quality work. My 5 star rating comes from a recent experience we had in the store. My family member recalled out of the blue that they had once dropped off a piece of art and had it spec'd here roughly ten years ago but had forgotten to follow up. Most of us feared that the piece had most likely been forgotten or otherwise lost in some way. Without a receipt or paper record, there would be little chance of finding the painting... or so we thought. Upon arriving at Old Town Art & Framery after ten years, my relative was greeted by Marcy, who not only remembered his full name, but also the artist of the painting and where it was stored! 10 minutes later we had the painting in hand and fresh plans to continue the framing efforts! Thanks, Marcy!

***** WARNING TO ARTISTS *****…read more I submitted a fee-based entry for possible inclusion of my artwork into a competition hosted by the Center for Fine Art Photography. I submitted through the artist hosting website the Photography Center chose to utilize which is called Cafe Listings. I logged the notification date as stated in the prospectus on my calendar and looked forward to notification on that day of either acceptance or denial into the exhibition. Having used Cafe Listings dozens of times in the past, I was expecting their standard automated email notification listing each specific art piece with an indication of acceptance or denial into the exhibition. The notification date came and went. I received no notification. In the days that followed, the art pieces I submitted were "held hostage" as I was unable to solicit them elsewhere pending notification from the Center for Fine Art Photography. Days later I checked the Photography Center website and discovered selections had been made days earlier. I contacted the Executive Director and Curator and insisted on a full refund for non-compliance on their part for not having notified me. (Let me note here, that approx. 8 years ago when I contacted the Photography Center for a different incidental business matter, to my shock, they placed me on their mailing list. I immediately removed myself from their list.) The Executive Director and Curator explained that they did send me a notification (not through Cafe Listings as they should have, but instead through iContact, their mailing list), but the notification bounced because I removed myself from their mailing list (8 years ago, mind you!). She also stated she would not be refunding my submission fee. I contacted the credit card company I paid the submission fee with, Bank of America. I submitted to them copies of the prospectus, the email exchanges, and a sample of what a Cafe Listings artist notification should look like. Bank of America has no tolerance for the irresponsible, sloppy, and incompetent business practices that were demonstrated by the Photography Center. They reversed the charge and refunded my entire submission fee. How the so-called Executive Director and Curator does one thing, is how she does everything. Irresponsible. Sloppy. Incompetent.

This little gallery was recently voted Loveland's Favorite Gallery by the Loveland Reporter-Herald!…read moreI think it's deserved. The owner is a very lovely and intelligent lady by the name of Susan Richards. Her MO is to make art affordable to the masses as well as high quality, of course! She does this all as a single mom, too. There is a selection of art--all by local artists that ranges from watercolor to prints to glass, greeting cards, jewelry or pottery. There is something for anyone's price range. The most expensive piece isn't even that expensive by most gallery's standards. The atmosphere is pleasing and not intimidating. Another fun bonus is that Susan holds events such as 'Howling at the Moon' every month or so where folks can get together for a little gnosh and an art project and enjoy themselves. There are other events that you can get on a mailing list to see. No more snotty galleries with exorbitant prices and unfriendly staff!
