Visit the 4th Friday Art Walk and help out the food bank!


At The Frame & I and The Art Store, we care about our local community. We are always looking for creative ways to help out those in need. The 4th Friday Art Walk folks contacted us with this great opportunity.
The Prescott Community Cupboard Food Bank, a non-profit, all-volunteer organization which is in need of assistance in these difficult times. Donations of food are not keeping up with the needs of local residents. On the 4th Friday of each month art walkers can bring a non-perishable food item to their favorite Art Walk destination. The food bank suggests such needed items as peanut butter, pasta, dry milk, cereal, canned fruits, vegetables, meat and fish. Monetary donations are always welcome! Food bank workers can buy fresh items such as margarine, ground meat and bread with these donations. If you wish to send a check, please mail it to the food bank at 434 West Gurley St., Prescott, AZ 86301.
Drop by the Art Walk this Friday, February 27th, between 5 pm and 7 pm, enjoy some great art, and help out the food bank. See you there!

Artist of the Month

Every month, local grade schools choose outstanding art students to be named “Artist of the Month.” As a reward, The Frame & I congratulates these budding artists by donating custom framing for these outstanding artworks. This locally owned frame shop has been in business for 24 years and has enjoyed framing student work since they opened their doors. The crew at the Frame & I also uses archival framing techniques to preserve artwork so it can be enjoyed for years to come.
For February 2009, Prescott High School selected this vibrant mixed media piece by an excelling student artist. Stop by the Frame & I Gallery to view this piece and other local artwork!
