Jean Stryker researched a painting that I had purchased years ago from a different gallery. She has a new fan.She answered every question I had, without expecting anything in return.

We got two embroideries framed here, and Julia was a LIFE SAVER! we weren't sure which way to go with the colors or the design or anything. Julia provided great tidbits and suggestions, she really made the process easy and smooth. Our embroideries are now FANTASTIC art pieces, we are so so so happy with the WHOLE experience.

I'm a local Asheville artist and started working with Black Bird Frame and Art about 7 years ago. They're a fantastic local family business, Uber professional, kind and generous. And although I've never worked for them it's pretty apparent they treat their employees well because they have very little turnover and some of their employees have been with them for over 15 yrs. They just frame an article written about me for a local gallery show and to my surprise they took it upon themselves to frame it for me as a show thanks. Well, right back at you! If you ever want to know how to run a successful business they seem to have written the book on the subject

I have been taking art to BlackBird for years now because they simply do the best job. I have heard near as many compliments on the frames as I have on the artwork I hang in my both house and office.

I've had about a dozen things framed by Blackbird since moving here, including some antique samplers that required special care. They've done a consistently great job. I appreciate their creativity in helping me pick frames and mats, too.

The team at Blackbird Frame and Art is the best in the business.I admire the work they do designing and making custom frames for art and memorabilia presentation and preservation, but more importantly I admire their contributions to community in and around Asheville, NC. If you are seeking to have custom framing done, I recommend you visit Blackbird Art & Frame.

As a local artist it has taken me a while to find vendors that deliver fast, reliable and professional service in addition to fair pricing that allows me to be competitive in this market. BlackBird Frame and Art is just such a place. For the past two years they have cut special glass for displaying & selling my work. Like most artists my work sells in spurts, but when it sells I need fast reliable service so I can keep my customers happy and deliver my work in a timely manner. For the past two years BlackBird has risen to the challenge. I have dealt with just about everyone who works there and have had a friendly, professional experience every time. In addition to a huge supply of frames and framing materials they also precision cut all three types of art glass. Whenever I call or go in I feel like I'm being treated as a preferred customer. They value my business and I value theirs. I highly recommend BlackBird Frame and Art. Quality, professional service - always with a smile.

Beautifully appointed shop with rooms that exhibit original art and other items you can peruse while waiting. The service is friendly and their work is efficient and accurate. Sometimes they are very busy so going at the right hour is great (although that time can shift). There is a room upstairs in the back with some pre-made "accidents" that can be acquired for a discount. They provide UltraVue® UV70 AR Glass which is my favorite. I acquire supplies and frame myself so this all works pretty well for me too. They also give artists a discount.Parking out front is convenient going in, but getting back out is a bit tricky .. I suggest parking in the lot behind the building.

I have used them a number of times, to frame my watercolor paintings. The first time I had 4 paintings framed, they worked with me on getting my prices down. The owners are delightful. The second time I took some paintings in, they were more expensive and not so good on any price reductions. The 3rd time, I had 4 more framed, and it had gotten very expensive. Each time, I used their "discount" Artist's Corner, so expected better prices. They do a beautiful job, but as an artist, I need to find another framer. Between commission to galleries and expensive framing costs, I am making less on my own paintings than they are.If you are willing to pay the price and can afford it, they do a beautiful and professional job.

I've been going to Blackbird for years and have always been very pleased with the results. The owners and staff really care about the quality of their work and you feel that when you walk in. On top of great service they have always been contributing and supporting members of the Asheville community in the many donations they've made to various fundraisers.

Great work, pricey, but worth it.
