It’s graduation season!  You or the grad in your family worked hard for that diploma.  What better way to celebrate all that hard work than by framing it to display proudly?  There are endless possibilities when it comes to framing a diploma!  Here are just a few:

	Many clients like to include some piece of memorabilia from the graduation in their designs.  This client frames all of her diplomas in shadowboxes with the graduation tassel.
	Another memorabilia design.  With small diplomas it’s often possible to include the diploma cover itself in the framing design.  This particular one is of historical interest, dating back to when Mass. General Hospital operated their own nursing school.
	This client chose to include an iconic image from her university in the frame design.  The mat choices (green & gold) reflect the school colors.
	Even a simple framing treatment can be enhanced with school colors and a little gold trim!

Remember, gift cards from Baldwin Hill Art & Framing make the perfect graduation present!

Richard Powers: Sea & Sky

Opening Reception Saturday, September 27 2014 5-9PM

Baldwin Hill Art & Framing is once again proud to host works by the 20th century American artist Richard M. Powers. Best known for his surrealistic science-ficiton book covers, Powers’ eclectic output also included children’s books, political cartoons, surreal humor, and fine art. The current exhibit–our fourth of his work –features fine art works inspired by seascapes and skylines from around the world.

Sea and sky were important influences on many of Powers’ works such as the surreal landscapes of his science fiction illustrations as well as many of his fine art works. Previous shows included such works as Rehoboth Beach, Port Antonio After The Storm, and Coral Shoals: Haiti.

Our newest exhibit, opening September 27, 2014 features a number of additional works from the estate. Some of these have never been shown before while others have not been seen in decades. Many feature a bright blue palette that is not seen in his other works.

Please join us for the opening reception Saturday, September 27 from 5-9PM at our gallery at 8 Court Street, Natick, MA. Refreshments will be provided and a member of the Powers family will be there to answer questions and tell stories!

Can’t make the reception? These works will remain on display through October 17 for your viewing pleasure!

For more information on Richard Powers, check out photo galleries from our previous shows of his work, our blog post or an essay by David G. Hartwell.

Hanging out the shingle!

Come help us celebrate the grand re-opening of our shop in our exciting new location!  We are now located at 8 Court Street in Natick, in the former location of Five Crows.

Our Grand Opening reception will be Thursday, September 19, 2013 from 5-9PM.  We will have on display works  by local artists along with some of our favorite framing projects from our past five years in Natick Center!

This reception will be catered by the Grillin’ Greek.  Please join us!

Say you’re out doing your errands and you drive by a major craft chain store.  They have all these signs and banners out front proclaiming “50% Off Custom Framing!”.  “Wow”, you think, “Such a bargain!  I ought to bring them that wedding photo I’ve been meaning to get framed!”

Turns out you won’t be getting the bargain you think you’re getting.  If you notice carefully, there are ALWAYS signs like this out in front of the store.  The percentage may vary, say, from 40% to 60%, but the idea is the same.  Every day they’re doing custom framing for an average of “50% off”.

This can only mean one thing: their “50% off” price IS their regular price.  They’re simply doubling their prices, then offering you 50% off so you can believe you’re getting a deal.  The Attorney General of the State of New York agrees with this.  After a two-year investigation, Michael’s recently settled with the State of New York for $1.8 million over deceptive advertising practices for custom framing.

At Baldwin Hill Art & Framing we offer no-gimmick pricing and top quality service every day.  We actually sent out secret shoppers to some “50% off” big-box stores in the area, and sure enough their “50% off” price was within a few dollars of our everyday honest price.  Let our dedicated staff design a frame that will preserve your treasures and show them at their best!
