Framagraphic Picture Framing and Gallery opened in 1976 on West Broadway, in Vancouver, BC. Throughout our history, the shop has remained deeply committed to providing our valued clients with high-quality custom framing and fine art services. Canvas stretching and needlework framing, shadow boxes, custom mirrors, fine art printing, delivery, and art installation are available.
We get phone calls and emails everyday asking about the various aspects of picture framing. Size is usually the most important aspect of the price -the bigger your art is, the more expensive the framing will be. The fact that you bought a massive painting in Bali for $49 does not mean the framing will be cheap, too.
We have worked with Gerry at Framagraphic - and recommended him to our clients - for years. He delivers superb work at reasonable prices on time, every time. He's everything you want in a framer: talented, honest, reliable, professional; he's even friendly for crying out loud. Go to Framagraphic. You'll be glad you did.
Our framing services include quality custom framing, mirrors, archival printing, installation and delivery. Framagraphic has an extensive selection of moulding, with hundreds of colours, shapes and styles to pick from. Shadow boxes are used for three-dimensional pieces, a unique way to display all shapes and sizes of objects.
With custom art framing, you have the advantage of working personally with a craftsman. The ways to creatively build a frame are unlimited. Multiple frames can be stacked on top of one another, glass can be layered in-between stacked frames, or fillets can be used to create the appearance of a frame within a frame.

These people are wonderful and their professionalism is second to none. I ordered mats and UV non-glare glass to fit a store bought frame that was supposed to be 16 x 20 inches. The glass didn’t fit, it was just perhaps 1/8 of an inch too large. I went back to the shop with my frame this time and it turns out the frame was not exactly the right size. Despite this, they replaced the glass, cut it while I waited and placed it in the frame, put in new clips and backboard, all without charging me. I will definitely be going back there!

Excellent service! I purchased a Groupon voucher and the stuff at Frameographic were helpful from start to finish. I emailed them with an inquiry and they got back to me straight away. I made an appointment to come in and get a painting framed and they had a ton of options, as well as great pricing. Staff were super friendly through email, phone, and in person interactions. I highly recommend them for any of your framing needs!

The purpose of my initial framing consultation with Gerry Giroux of Framagraphic was to determine if my Niece’s art prints could be framed before her birthday next month. The remarkable level of personal attention to detail and the overall service experience is notable from the onset. While the moulding, matting and glass combinations are seemingly endless, it’s the practice of active listening, open communication and Gerry’s professional manner, in and of itself, may be why Framagraphic is considered the standard of excellence against which to measure and compare.

I've had a few prints framed here, the first piece was a limited edition Tokidoki print and I wanted a pink frame for my print. They do such an awesome job here, they recommended a metallic rose gold frame (which compliments the artwork), how much matting I should use for the look I am trying to achieve and what type of glass to protect it from the UV rays. They are professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I am so happy with my first print, it is just so beautiful and I love looking at it!

I have been using Framagraphic exclusively for 20 years to do all of my framing. I will not work with any other framer. The work they so is always beautiful. Keith is just great to work with: he is patient, meticulous, professional and always makes the right aesthetic and technical recommendations. This past December, I had a rush framing job: I needed to get a large paperwork framed for a group art show in Brooklyn opening in just a few weeks. Even though it was the busy Christmas season, Keith made time for my project and made sure that my painting was framed quickly and in the best way: it looked

We are a fine art portrait photography studio and have had nothing but (dozens and dozens of) wonderful experiences working with Framagraphic.
The level of customer service they provide is outstanding. The team is very knowledgeable, with great attention to detail and are happy to find creative solutions to best display every piece of art brought to them. The quality of their work and quick turnaround times have been a game changer for our studio and we will continue to have Framagraphic take care of all our framing needs.

Absolutely excellent service! We had two old frames that we like that got broken glasses. My husband went there with the frames to make sure the new glass would cut in the correct size.
Not only they did the glass service perfectly (and fast), but they also fixed one of our old frames that was in poor condition.
Highly professional and honest services and prices.
If you are looking for a company who cares about the customer, don’t look any further. We are very pleased with Framagraphic!

All said and done, I wish our experience was better.
We went in with a scarf and Keith seemed almost disappointed to have the business, saying, "Oh that's hard"when we took it out of the box. While a scarf is not a print - you are a professional and show scarves being framed on your website. That the job cost just a bit over $500 suggests that it would not be easy.
They did have it framed up in about two weeks which is appreciated.

I had my first experience with Framagraphic this week and they were incredible to work with! I needed to get some custom framing done for work and they were able to help me find a cheaper solution with one of their pre-made frames that fit perfectly. They were incredibly helpful in finding the right colour white for the mat AND they even got the framing done for my event which was the following day.
I am very happy I stumbled upon this place, I will absolutely be returning for other framing needs in the future! Thank you Framagraphic!

I can't praise this framing shop enough. I had a print from ingridArtStudio that I wanted framed for my partner's birthday, but as usual I left it too late. The gentleman helping me explained that, alas, it would not be ready in time. Of course I understood. But the next day I got a call saying that they had rushed it through.
This is the kind of place I like going back to. Totally straightforward, helpful, diligent and extremely precise work.
Terrific!

I had a very precise vision for a custom framed poster as a gift to my brother for Christmas. From start to finish the Gerry and his amazing staff went over all my options/costs/needs and made life easy and understandable. Furthermore, i wanted a quote to be inscribed on the bottom of the poster as a personal touch and they nailed it! Exactly what i wanted! Beautiful work!
And what puts these guys a class ahead of everyone else is that upon pick

This is the place to go in Vancouver for your framing needs: Today I picked up a custom framing job from Framagraphic, and I am *very* happy. Based on my experience, there, I would say Framagraphic offers a rare combination of quality, value, and outstanding customer service.
The frame is perfect for my needs: it is beautiful in a tasteful and yet unobtrusive way that allows the subject matter to be the focus of attention and enjoyment.
The price of the frame, while not easy for me as a lower middle class person, was substantially cheaper than a competitor's price that was offered for the same

When it comes to hands-on experience and attention to detail, I trust Gerry from Framagraphic for all art and picture framing services. They also provide different types of protective glass for your paintings, from regular glass to museum-grade glass with UV protection. Wholeheartedly recommend them.

Getting your art, photos, and precious keepsakes framed properly is worth the time and money. The staff at Framagraphic are knowledgeable, helpful, and professional.
When I walked in, the owner, Gerry, was working with a woman and child (who I assumed to be mother and daughter). The child couldn't have been more than 7 years old, and had made a painting that the mother was having framed. When they were measuring the piece, Gerry politely asked "which way was up?" and the little girl confirmed the orientation. Gerry then showed them several frame options, and suggested mattes to

If you have valuable prints or photographs that need to be framed, this is the place to have it done in Vancouver. Their work is top-notch and the service excellent. They aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for! I've had at least 20 different pieces of artwork framed here and it has lasted beautifully for years.
