I have taken several projects to Skip for framing and the quality and attention to detail is what…read moreyou would expect in a big city, not a beach town. I had to get some frames replaced and Skip made recommendations that helped save me some $. I then purchased a print of a local mural and Skip matted and framed my newest piece of art within a week. I will trust all my future framing/ matting projects with Skip. This is also more than just a framing store. If you are looking for local art and gifts, check out Tip Top Frame. Local artists have their work displayed in the shop- everything from modern to traditional beach art, small gifts and great Carolina Beach souvenirs.

TRULY an artist at his craft. Saban greatly cares about his projects and clients and despite being…read morethe hands down authority in his field in New Hanover County and beyond, he keeps his pricing below what the caliber of his detail and skill-set commands. Watching his process as he tackles each unique task and brainstorms is a treat in of itself. The wait is worth it each time for the invariable results that over-deliver.

We particularly love the jazz events, as we are passionate about all forms of art and music. Everyone at the gallery has made us feel very welcome as we settle into the area. While we haven't yet been able to take full advantage of everything the Gallery offers, we look forward to attending workshops, classes, and special events, once we are more 'planted'. And of course we will continue enjoying the Art when we visit, and purchasing the works when we are able.
