Here at B&R Gallery and Framing in Canyon Country we actually have several activities and services going on simultaneously. Some of these may have not have been suspected. You can see the obvious ones when you visit our 6,000-square foot gallery. Walking into the gallery, you will see that the walls are covered with beautifully framed works of art for sale and for viewing. Yes, we sell a wide variety of originals and reproductions and sculpture to our local customers and visitors.
Next, over on the left wall you will see one of the largest collections of framing corner samples, mats and various framing fabrics that you will find anywhere. We will work with you using these materials to come up with the perfect frames for your art, certificates, photos, keepsakes, jewelry or whatever you want to preserve and display.
So, that’s it. Right? Not exactly. Art display and frame display only make up the tip of the iceberg.
Behind that left wall, hidden away from public view, is another huge space where our framing factory, shipping and long-distance sales areas hum away. The larger part of our business covers most of the world! Via the Internet and national magazine ads we have gained a loyal group of art and framing customers from as far away as France and Japan, not to mention in just about every state in the United States. Our website at www.bnr-art.com attracts all sort of collectors and enables us to go far beyond our walls to display our broader range of products.
Yes, you say, but how do you do framing for these distant people? How can they participate in choosing their framing?
Aha! Here we enter the digital age: we have our full-time webmaster design “virtual” samples of frames on the computer and send them to our distant (or nearby) clients for their choice and approval. For example, we have photos that show artist Howard Terpning’s latest release on canvas, called, “White Water Passage.” The frame shown in that photo is one of several that were designed and created on a computer! If the client approves it then we can expertly ship the identically framed piece 3,000 miles — or maybe less — where he happily puts it up on his or her wall and enjoys it!
Take advantage of your proximity. Come visit us and have a direct look!
