At Posterity Art & Framing Gallery, we know that every piece you bring to us—whether it’s fine art, family photos, textiles, or treasured keepsakes—carries a personal story. Custom framing is more than choosing a frame and mat; it’s about preserving your memories so they last a lifetime. To help you care for your artwork at home, we’ve put together our best custom framing tips and tricks, including special guidance for the cold winter months here in Michigan.

Art isn’t just something that hangs on your wall — it’s an investment in culture, story, and identity. Collecting art from Detroit and local creators brings long-term value in more ways than one, enriching your home, supporting the artistic community, and building a collection that can grow financially and sentimentally over time.

Commons mistakes artists make that cost their customers hundreds to thousands more at the framing table.

Why choose custom framing for preservation over buying a store bought frame and the process of custom framing explained.
