Gallery Frames


What’s in a name? In the case of a gallery frame, everything! Generally hung in wall groupings in homes, museums, studios, or at art galleries and exhibitions, gallery frames usually have a simple, contemporary design that helps focus your attention on what’s being framed, whether it’s a favorite digital photo, watercolor painting, colored pencil drawing, postcard, vintage magazine cover, or memorabilia item. Made of wood, metal, or eco-friendly materials such as bamboo, some gallery frames can accommodate stretched canvases, and yet others include striking ready-to-hang artwork for an instant impression.


Blick offers gallery frames of all types, and most include a glass face and mat for quick, easy assembly. Open back gallery frames only include the frame, so you can choose to mat (or not mat), glaze (or not glaze), and add your own backing material and hardware for wall or tabletop display. Whether you’re looking for an understated frame that complements your urban décor, a dramatic frame that lends the appearance your artwork is floating, or smaller frames for tabletop or bookcase display, Blick has everything you need for creating your own custom gallery. When you’re ready to hang, learn how to arrange your frames into a stylish gallery wall with our How To Make A Gallery Wall tutorial!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will frames I buy from you be ready to hang?

    Some frames are ready to hang as soon as your artwork is installed. However, many of our frames, such as open back frames and floater frames, are sold as just the frame face, so the artist can choose whether to purchase glazing and what kind of hardware will be best for their artwork and the space it will inhabit. Be sure to check the notes in the frame description to determine whether you'll need additional materials to complete your framing project.

  • How do I know what size frame to buy?

    Frames are sized by the size of artwork they're intended to hold. The front opening will be approximately 1/4" smaller on all sides so the artwork will be securely held in the frame. For frames with mats, the mat opening will also be approximately 1/4" smaller than the anticipated artwork size, again to ensure that the work is securely held behind the mat. This can vary from one brand to another however, so be sure to check the product description.

  • How do I know what thickness of artwork I can put in a frame?

    The final image on each frame page is a diagram of a cross section of the frame molding. You'll find the frame's inner depth, also known as the rabbet depth, indicated on that diagram. Remember to factor in the thickness of any glazing, mat, mounting board, and backing you may be using in addition to the actual artwork.
