I learned that this business had the distinction of being the oldest framing shop in the country dating back to the early 1900's and has remained a family run local business during this time. (Wow! That's impressive!) Initially based out of the Arcade in Downcity Providence, they moved to this location in the 1970's and have continued to expand over time. What you will find today are three massive floors filled with artwork, prints, drawings, ceramics, etc from great local artists in addition to their large framing area. They can handle all types of projects small or large and provide service and support both locally and out of state. They boast quality craftsmanship, lifetime guarantees on their work, and prices that are comparable to what you'd find from the big box chains that offer framing services (no coupon needed!) The difference is the years of knowledge and experience you get when choosing Providence Picture Frame as well as the good feeling you get knowing that you are helping a long time family run store stay in business for future generations. You'll also find friendly employees who care passionately about their business, their community, and helping the customer get exactly what they are looking for. Pro tips: Consider shopping in their gallery for unique and special birthday or holiday gifts. Not sure how to display that special photo, artwork, or sentimental item? Stop by to talk to them about their custom framing ideas and to preserve your one of a kind item for a lifetime.

Ok, I know what you are saying to yourself - Barbara, seriously? And I would say back to you, yes,…read moreseriously! I need to take you back a few years (almost 18) to when Charles Grant was just a name that changed my life. I was on my way for a family vacation when I heard about Swiss Air 111 going down near Canada. I had just been in New York and my dearest cousin was going on a humanitarian mission and was on that flight. This was in the day before cell phones and I honestly did not know who to call. So I just called her number praying someone would answer and SHE did! She told me she was in too much shock to talk about it but that I should relax because she was fine. Years later I meet Charles and my cousin tells me this is the man that saved her life and told her not to get on that flight. Yes ... this really happened. Out of the blue one day, I get a message from him asking me if I was ok. I said yes but why does he ask - he said he received a "message" that there was something wrong with me. He continues to press me about my heart (full work up earlier that month - no issues), cholesterol (beyond amazing), and my blood pressure (low beyond belief). I finally admit to him that my heart is heavy mostly because we were sending my son to school and I was worried about finances. He said not to worry and that a job would come my way soon ... it did and it sort of fell in my lap unexpectedly. I also hosted a high tea for my friends at my house one lovely summer day and he did readings for everyone. The only thing I supplied to him were first names and birthdays (to do numerology for each person). Each person was touched and amazed at what he had to say to them. One woman had just lost her mother and was able to connect with her and was brought to tears. This man is genuine, gentle, and the best.

She was upbeat, informative, respectful to both the sketchers (us) and the models. Made sure there were no photography during class unless it's through them to make the models comfortable. (takes guts to be nude in front of a bunch of people drinking and looking at you!) She brought out the artistic sides of everyone in the room, guided us through different sketching exercises (1-3-5 minute sketch sessions) so we're busy drawing instead of JUDGING what we were drawing. such helpful tips! I think we were all VERY impressed with our own artworks! I really thought I'd be drawing a little more than stick figures before coming here.
