What makes it a Rhody Gem?
Providence Picture Frame (PPF) is truly an artful oasis on a busy commercial strip. Opening its doors in the Arcade Building in 1879, 100 years later, Dryden Gallery was founded, and together the two components have relocated and expanded, and now inhabit a former furniture store in North Providence, making excellent use of the vast space as a framing center and galleries. Work from all genres, mediums, scale, and price ranges are available with an ongoing schedule of shows. The oldest and largest art services provider in the country, PPF offers a comprehensive selection of framing materials and carries the highest level of conservation-grade materials (acid-free) to support true archival framing, with all work guaranteed for life. Owner Geoff Gaunt and his devoted crew of craftsmen and artists make any visit – whether for custom framing, viewing art, or shopping for gifts – picture-perfect.
