After a family vacation in Clearwater Beach, FL the photographer I hired to do a family photo shoot…read morerecommended My Favorite Art Place for my canvas collage that I wanted. Jess was great to work with and set me up with a gorgeous collage with 9 total pieces. Fast forward a few months, one of the couples in the photos break-up, my son and his long time girlfriend. So, I reached out to order a new pic in the collage. To my surprise Jess mentioned that they may be able to edit this person out of the photos. We opted to replace one of the shots with my son's Golden Retriever. The work that Jess and her team did was nothing short of a miracle! I had no idea that this was even possible. I re-ordered 4 more canvas photos and have a revised family collage! If they can do this, they can do ANYTHING! See pics below

It is quite fascinating to go and see the wide range of approaches -- all beautiful. We do have a particular favorite among the artists: June Harben. Her art is unforgettable, elegant, wonderful and thoughtful. If I had the means, I would fill my home with art by June Harben. I would tell the world about her. I would invite everyone interested in art to come and view her work and the works of the other fine artists featured at Gallery 1356. This place has so enriched our lives and our community.

# First Class Framing: Where Art Meets Community in Belleair…read more For over 30 years, Alexis Perez has turned custom framing into an art form. As the owner of First Class Framing - a veteran-owned, family-run studio - she handles everything from delicate photography and original paintings to 3D keepsakes and memorabilia. Her impeccable craftsmanship and creative flair ensure each cherished piece is preserved and presented with museum-quality care. A lifelong artist and passionate teacher, Alexis shares her creativity with budding creators of all ages - literally from age 2 to 102 - sparking imagination across Belleair. She is deeply involved in the community, volunteering for art projects in local schools and clubs. Alexis is dedicated to making Belleair's art scene flourish through her classes and community events. Clients rave about Alexis's work, praising the "outstanding" results and calling her ethical standards "beyond reproach". With Alexis's unique blend of craftsmanship, creativity, teaching, and community spirit, First Class Framing offers more than beautiful frames. It delivers a first-class experience infused with heart. She is the "go-to" framer for all the local artists in this thriving art community. Up until recently, she held monthly themed art shows at her shop. In March of 2025, she hosted a "Best of First Class Framing" art show at the Francis Wilson Playhouse to provide a platform for local artists to be seen. I recommend her for any framing project you may have. She will take the utmost care and consideration from start to finish. Choose First Class Framing - I promise you will be back over and over.

Dropped of an old picture of my grandfather on his WW2 battleship. The owner was so sweet struck up…read morea really nice conversation with her and it just made me feel really good about coming here. When I went to pick up the finished product it was beautiful. It was a somber moment to see this picture that was in really rough shape in such a beautiful new way. I've never had anything framed professionally before so don't know how to judge on pricing, but I'm all about paying for quality and this was quality. The cherry on top which the owner totally didn't have to do was print out some tidbits about my grandfathers ship and the history surrounding it. What an amazing gesture, and I was truly touched. When, and if I ever need something framed again this would be the only place I would take my business.

I have made several cool projects at this location. I love them and so does anyone who sees them…read more My first project was for a wedding and the bride and groom LOVED it. My second project was for myself and I had so much fun making it with 6 other women doing their own projects. We had a Girl's night out and had munchies and wine and each lady made a very cool project. I know they all had fun and loved their end result. Several were talking of coming back again to do another one. Renee, the owner and Maddie are very encouraging and helpful. I very highly recommend doing this either as a gift, or for yourself. There are so many different projects to choose from and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was.

Different ownership, I know. I was greeted shortly after entering and making my way over to the ornaments. The staff member that was helping me was extremely friendly but must have been newer because she didn't have immediate answers to my questions (one looking for a specific ornament they didn't have & another about an ornament I had in my hand.) I understand everyone has a learning and training period but please don't make up an answer only to finally ask your coworker after I begin questioning your initial answer. Hallmark always has tons of fun trinkets to browse through but at Christmastime it's all about the ornaments, baby! And unfortunately this store did not impress so I'll stick to the one in the mall even though I avoid the mall like the plague this time of year!
