Gallery 1 is literally the best... Chris and Patty are the nicest people and always go the extra step to ensure you feel like family. I end up talking with them for 30 minutes almost every time I'm in there. On top of that, they both approach their craft like true artists. Chris has designed & framed almost all the art hanging in my house and it's all SO cool. If you need something framed, are looking to buy local art (their showroom is awesome) or just want to make some new friends... look no further than Gallery 1!! read more

Wonderful customer service with unbeatable prices! Chris is so incredibly approachable and knowledgeable with his framing insights. The discounts for students, educators, and business owners (artists included!) are very generous. The showroom is such a wonderful hub promoting local artists' work for sale. With a wide selection of custom tailored services and products, I will certainly make Gallery 1 my go-to stop for all my framing needs as a pastel artist. read more

Gallery 1 was recommended to us by our decorator. Our son had recently played baseball in Cooperstown, and we had memorabilia that we wanted to organize and display. We took a grocery bag full of items that we wanted to use, and Chris worked with us to put everything together so beautifully. We had some ideas of what we want to going in there, but Chris knocked it out of the park with all of his wonderful suggestions. We could not be more pleased with the work done, and highly recommend Gallery 1 to everyone. read more

Gallery 1 - Art Galleries Near Me - Waukesha, Wisconsin

Awesome place - so helpful, patient and offer great suggestions for framing ideas. Highly recommend!

I had Gallery 1 re-matte and re-frame a number of pieces I did in High School, as these had considerable personal value to me. They are close to 50 years old and Gallery 1 did an excellent job with them. I was more than pleased to say the least. I highly recommend Gallery 1. read more

I am a perfectionist and rarely do people I hire do work to my satisfaction but Chris and his staff at Gallery 1 always do exceptional work; I would never consider taking items to be framed anywhere else! read more

I've had a couple of my own art pieces framed here (I'm the artist) and for my clients. Always a top notch framing job of the highest quality. Last time in I had them stretch canvas to a gallery wrapped size. Very nicely done at a reasonable price. Lots of frame samples in all price ranges. Staff is friendly and helpful. Lots of original art on the walls too. Easy access parking. read more

Excellent service and workmanship - wouldn't go anywhere else - very satisfied everytime

I've had several art pieces framed here and have always been pleased with their friendliness and workmanship, but this time they went above and beyond! My husband and I purchased two framed prints at Steinhafels which were clearly a pair but they were framed in a way that did not mesh. When we were starting to hang them in our living room our son mentioned that we had room for a third and went online to see what he could find from the print publishers. He did find a third print that was part of the series and we ordered it. So we now had three prints, one unframed and two that were out of sync. We took all three to Gallery 1 and Maria took charge. She was amazing! After studying the prints she suggested moving the unframed print to one of the existing frames and constructing a new frame for one of the others. Maria went through their inventory and couldn't find anything she thought would work, so decided to check online with their suppliers. She still couldn't find anything she wanted so she actually went to Menards, bought the wood, made the frame and painted it the color she wanted for the print. Gallery 1 did not charge us for moving the print to the existing frame, only for materials (matting, glass, wood) and labor. The prints are now hanging on our wall and look absolutely wonderful! Maria is so great at what she does, and the gallery in general is fantastic. I have also bought several gift items there, from notecards to purses to jewelry. Everything is high quality, including the employees! read more
