I have a picture frame with broken glass. Can you replace it for me?
Don't feel bad - broken glass is a common problem. We would be happy to help replace it.
Why do I need acid free material/Conservation glass? What if I'm putting my art in a dark place?
Acidic material will damage artwork and light will cause it to fade. Many framed pieces become family heirlooms...it just makes sense to protect them. And as for hanging your art in a dark place...well, no one can predict where art will eventually end up; in fact, it often is hung in a different spot than originally intended. So it's a good idea to keep your options open!
