Custom Picture Framing for Manly
Expert Picture Framing for Manly Artists, Collectors & Homes
Only a short drive from Manly, ArtSmart has been providing professional custom picture framing for artists, photographers, collectors, businesses and families for more than 40 years.
Located in nearby Seaforth, our purpose-built framing workshop is trusted by customers throughout Manly and Sydney's Northern Beaches who are looking for exceptional craftsmanship, expert advice and museum-quality framing materials.
Whether you're framing an original painting, a treasured family photograph, a limited edition print or a valuable artwork, our experienced team will help you choose the perfect frame to complement both the artwork and your home.
Trusted by the Local Arts Community
ArtSmart is proud to work with many artists and organisations across Sydney's Northern Beaches, including undertaking framing work for Manly Art Gallery. We also regularly assist local artists preparing for exhibitions, photographers, schools, interior designers and private collectors.
Our team understands that every artwork is different. Rather than offering a "one size fits all" approach, we carefully consider the style, age, value and purpose of each piece before recommending the most appropriate framing solution.
Professional Custom Picture Framing
We frame virtually every type of artwork, including:
- Original oil paintings
- Acrylic paintings
- Watercolours
- Drawings and charcoal works
- Limited edition prints
- Fine art photography
- Posters and vintage prints
- Certificates and awards
- Sporting memorabilia
- Jerseys
- Mirrors
- Shadow box displays
- Aboriginal artworks
- Oversized artworks
Every frame is custom made in our Seaforth workshop using premium materials selected to protect and enhance your artwork for years to come.
Museum-Quality Materials
We believe great framing should do more than simply look beautiful.
Where appropriate, we offer conservation framing techniques using archival materials designed to minimise deterioration over time. We also stock a wide range of premium glazing options, including UV-protective and museum-grade glass that helps reduce reflections while protecting valuable artwork.
