Founded in 1978 by Jay Goltz in an abandoned factory district of Chicago, Artists' Frame Service has established itself as the premier custom framing shop in the city and is renowned across the country. The company was born out of a vision to elevate framing standards by providing artistic design, an expansive selection of choices, and rapid service. Over the decades, Artists' Frame Service has grown exponentially, becoming the largest custom frame shop in America.
In the early 1990s, the business expanded its horizons by forming exclusive partnerships with manufacturers in Italy and Spain, bringing exquisite frame styles to the American market. This commitment to unique and high-quality products has continued, leading many of their offerings to be exclusive to their services. The company prides itself on its team of experienced professionals, many of whom have been with Artists' Frame Service for over twenty years. Their art and design backgrounds, paired with a passion for quality framing, empower them to provide clients with tailored solutions, whether it be framing modern art or vintage collectibles.
The company's modern 30,000-square-foot facility ensures that all frames are crafted to meet stringent quality standards, as employees are encouraged to halt production if any item fails to meet their expectations. Artists' Frame Service is not just a business; it forms part of the Goltz Group, which includes several design-focused companies united in the mission to help clients create inspiring living and working spaces. The dedication to customer satisfaction is evident, with the brand’s THRILLED GUARANTEE™, ensuring each customer is 100% satisfied with their framing projects. Catering to a broad clientele, from individual art lovers to businesses, Artists' Frame Service continues to play a significant role in the artistic landscape of Chicago.
