BlackBird Frame & Art

Beautifully framed, more affordable than other shops I have tried in the area. Plus it’s a beautiful gallery with very nice art and handmade gifts.

Expert high quality framing for your art. Great suggestions by experienced staff that help you come to a decision when in doubt. Unusual gifts are available for purchase in the lobby.

Wow! the folks at Blackbird (John, specifically) did a great job of walking us through various options for matting, frames, glass, etc. He was patient and the finished product (which did take a bit of time, because it is a large piece) looks amazing! I couldn't be happier, both with the finished product and the process to get here. And, they are Living wage certified! What could be better!

If you are looking for custom framework done in Asheville, look no further. This is the Willy Wonka of frame shops! The staff is amazing, and their work is incredible. I have been in and out several times over the last couple months, and I want to sing out their praises for all to hear!nnThe first time I went in to the store, John, the owner, helped me out. I brought in a beautiful canvas piece of artwork that was a memorial fantasy portrait of my best friend who passed away in April. I had no idea what to ask for because I had never gotten custom framing done before. All I knew was that I wanted something with a little flair that would compliment the vibrant artwork but not overwhelm it. John understood exactly what I meant and what this piece of artwork needed. He helped me choose a shiny yellow floater frame that did exactly what I wanted - compliment the artwork but not overwhelm it. It was unique and perfect, and I don't think I would have ever thought to choose it on my own.nnThe second time I went in, Natalie helped me choose a frame for a print of the same piece of artwork. Again, she selected things that complimented the artwork without overwhelming it. She saw the magic in the art, and we chose a white pearlescent matte with a dark blue metallic frame.nnA couple other times I went into the store, I was helped by Jean, who was every bit as wonderful as John and Natalie had been. I also received guidance on where to take the artwork to ship it, another thing I had never done. They directed me to a specific UPS store that they like to recommend using to ship artwork, and this recommendation was spot on. I shipped 3 pieces to 3 different locations and all made it in tact with no issues.nnI'm so beyond pleased. I had an incredible experience with BlackBird Frame & Art, and I highly recommend them. They also have a lot of cool artwork from local artists in the store, and some of it is made by their employees - something else I love. Please support this incredible business - I know I will certainly continue to do so!

Finally got around to re-framing drawings (1915) my great grandfather drew. Jim McCarthy found me the perfect simple frame to complement the drawings. Now the can last another 100 years. I couldn't get a great picture of them in the frames.
