Overview
Frames For All Reasons is located at the Elk Meadow Center in Evergreen, Colorado. Among Mountain Area art enthusiasts, the shop has long been recognized as an affordable, professional resource for framing a wide variety of works of art.

The shop was founded in August of 1981 by Julie Jones Mead, who conceived an innovative and affordable framing establishment for different works of art -- paintings, 3-D art, sports jerseys, photographs, and prints. Julie's son, Jim Molenda, joined the shop five years later. Julie also envisioned Frames For All Reasons as a venue for local artists in the Mountain community: a space that would support artists economically and offer them the opportunity to exhibit their work locally, while providing collectors an affordable way to enjoy professionally-framed original artwork.

Frames For All Reasons mounts new exhibitions each month; programs include solo exhibitions; highlight award-winning art selections for the annual Evergreen-area calendar; and include special works by Colorado special-needs artists. The shop maintains art selections ranging stylistically from traditional still-lifes and landscapes in varying media to cutting-edge computer-generated pieces, and finely enhanced photographic works of art.

Frames For All Reasons hopes that through exposure in the shop, many local Mountain Area artists will have the opportunity to further develop their creative work. The shop also supports area special-needs artists by displaying and offering for sale works whose proceeds help offset costs of care facilities for enhanced quality of life for these artists.

Operations
Since its opening, Frames For All Reasons has provided affordable access to framing art by allowing customers to come in and frame certain works themselves. For professional framing jobs, our qualified staff is here to get the job done. The shop's clients include corporations, architects, designers, restaurateurs, established collectors, and people interested in learning more about contemporary art.

Stop by soon and chat with any of our very qualified team: Julie Jones Mead, Jim Molenda, Michelle Gehr, Elise Denbow, Annie Audsley, and Colleen Gottlob(who handles our special framing projects).

Purchases from Frames For All Reasons contribute to the Mountain Area art community. Patronage of the special needs artists' projects helps to subsidize the region's enhanced living programming, especially important during this period of declining public contributions for special needs groups. All of the shop's clients have the satisfaction of knowing that their patronage directly supports the growth and development of working artists in their careers.
