A word to the wise...

Browning Arts does not offer coupons or discounts based on artificially inflated prices. Our everyday prices are the same as the discounted prices of other picture framing shops.

All of our frames are solid wood (except the metal ones), not plastic or man-made composite. We make all the frames ourselves on-site and they are constructed in the traditional, high-quality manner with glue and nails, which insures that if you bump the corner and it separates, it can be fixed to look like new because the wood is not damaged.

Browning Arts has been in operation since 1981 and has years of experience, and a long background in the arts (art degrees from UND). We can solve your problems. We do restoration of all kinds of two- and three-dimensional art and memorabilia as well as regular matting and framing, dry mounting, stretcher building, and shrink wrapping. We also have a great gallery full of artwork of all media and eras.

The person you talk to at the front desk is the same person who does your work, and will take as much time as needed to help you find the right presentation for your artworks, whether they're needle art, paintings, photos, old documents, family heirlooms, prints, etc.

Stop in with your pieces for free estimates and see how great your pieces will look with the right presentation.

Trust Browning Arts for your picture framing and restorations.
