Dryden Gallery, inside the North Providence location, displays thoughtfully curated art pieces from local and international artists and craftspeople.
BEYOND THE FRAME When a client arrives with an object unusual in size, material or historical significance, Providence Picture Frame’ s fabrication capabilities step in. Recent projects reveal the true breadth of that expertise: display and mounting solutions for an astronaut’ s space suit, a stone sculpture dating to 300 BCE, delicate antique textiles and a series of architectural stained glass installations. Each singular challenge was met with uncommon resourcefulness. Custom metalwork, woodworking, acrylic fabrication and electronics integration mean that almost no display challenge is out of reach.
DIGITAL MEDIA AND FINE ART PRINTING For designers and collectors working with digital files or requiring high-quality reproductions, the studio’ s digital media team offers full-service photography, color editing and large-format fine art printing. Over 4,500 archival exhibition-quality prints were produced in-house last year, using the highest-resolution equipment available and a team that stays current with evolving technologies.
DRYDEN GALLERY Providence Picture Frame’ s award-winning Dryden Gallery is a 3,200-square-foot exhibition space inside the North Providence location, with a roster of more than fifty national and international artists and designers. Solo and group exhibitions are scheduled throughout the year, and original artworks rotate continuously on general display. Whether you’ re just browsing or searching for something that fits a specific space and vision, Dryden Gallery is an exceptional point of entry into the world of original art.
YOUR WORK, FULLY PROTECTED Every piece entrusted to Providence Picture Frame— regardless of monetary value— is treated with the same exacting care. That commitment is backed by comprehensive coverage: a large walk-in fire-resistant art safe and the ability to arrange expanded insurance for high-value projects. From the moment your work arrives to the moment it’ s installed, it’ s in the right hands. ◆
