Frame It Right: A Workshop Exploring Art Presentation with Shan Bryan-Hanson

Concept and Experience

Learn how to elevate your artwork with thoughtful framing and presentation. Your art deserves it! In this workshop, Shan provides examples of frames that work well and explains why, discusses framing choices she's made as an artist, as well as some dos and don'ts based on her experiences as a curator. She also shares her go-to framing tools and preferred suppliers. Learn about DIY options for framing your art, as well as what to consider when hiring a professional framer. Bring your questions, a notebook, and, if you'd like, a work of art (optional) to workshop the best way to frame it. Leave this experience with a deeper understanding of framing and a customized written plan for framing your own art.
