Great Escape Frame & Art

My sweet husband bought me a beautiful painting on his last trip to Ukraine, so we wanted to take it to a good framing shop. His colleague, who is an avid art collector, referred us to Great Escape since he’s been going there for years.
The owner was very helpful and gave us a lot of options and advice, which was much appreciated since we weren’t really sure what type of frame to get. The pricing was reasonable and we had our painting back in about a week.
The shop also carries lots of artwork and sports memorabilia for purchase, so if you’re looking to spruce up an empty wall, this is a good place to check out.
The parking lot in the back gives you access to the back door, which is open, or there’s usually plenty of parking on the street as well.

Established in 1989, The Great Escape is not only a framing an art shop, but a store that understands the value of customer service.
For example, if you live in the downtown area, they will pick up and deliver your items for free. They will also spend a few moments to answer your questions even if they are busy. They carry over 1,000 frame choices from simple to extremely ornate. They, like most frame shops, have a generous amount of matting options as well including various textures: silks, suedes, leathers, etc.
They turnaround your order in about a week which seems sooner than most other local framers. It’s not only art and photographs that they work with. They do mirrors and jerseys as well. They have a nicely done, framed jersey on display which exemplifies their craftsmanship. To get something similar done, it will cost around $ 300 which is a bit higher than most others charge.
Currently, they are having a sale on their prints. In the window, they have a few large and beautiful pieces of art for purchase. One piece was originally marked at $ 375 and is now only $ 195.
Parking is not too much of a problem since there are free spots along Mills that never seem to be completely taken.
