Framing Service

Framing is a crucial element in collecting fine art. Not only can a frame enhance the way that a piece looks, but it also plays a key role in protecting the artwork.

We recommend you get your original print professionally framed as soon as possible so you can enjoy it right away, without causing any damage to it.

Disproportionately high frame prices can be off-putting to collectors. With this in mind, we have launched Imprint Framing to provide competitively priced exhibition-ready frames, which are subsequently delivered directly to the Fair.

Just fill out the form on your artist portal and we provide a commitment-free quote up front. This means you have greater freedom to compare prices, which in turn drives down the cost of framing.

If you’re happy with the price, send it or drop it off at The Frame House in Consett and we’ll get to work right away (information below).

While we understand framing can be expensive, presentation is key when exhibiting, and can often be the difference between making a sale and your work remaining unsold. With this in mind, please ensure you have read the following:

• Selected artwork for the Fair must be framed and ready to hang.

• All frames must be of a professional quality; no clip frames will be accepted.

• The name of the artist, title of the work and booth number must appear on the back of the framed and browser works.

• Remember to sign/edition your work (if required) before having it framed.

• Please note that Imprint reserves the right to refuse any poorly presented work.

Imprint Framing can be a more economical option if you’re not based in the UK, as it drives down the cost of international delivery.

We will organise delivery from the framers to the Fair on your behalf, free of charge.

The deadline to get your work to our framing studio is 30 September 2026.
