What is Up front art space?

Up Front Art Space is a Custom Frame shop, Art Restoration shop, Art gallery and Art Gift Shop in the heart of downtown Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

With new shows and fun classes there is always something different to see and do at Up Front Art Space.

We also offer truly customizable framing and art and frame restoration.

Think outside the big box stores and let our experienced framers find the perfect frame for your art! With choices from a complete line of made-to-order custom frames and restored vintage frames ready to use, there’s a frame for every style and budget.

We restore artwork and frames too! Torn paintings, discolored photos, cracked 3-D art, stained needlepoints- stop in for an honest and realistic quote on any piece. Our restoration department will take the same care to preserve and revive your art as any high end dealer would with a masterpiece.

Love that old frame, but it’s chipped or missing pieces? We can fix that! And then use it to frame your artwork. We have a selection of refurbished vintage frames to choose from when picking out a new frame.
