Elevate Program
The Art of Custom Framing (ACF) is proud to host the Elevate Program, a new initiative designed to support professional-driven artists in our local community. Elevate is ideal for artists who possess a strong creative vision and a cohesive exhibition concept. The ideal candidate will be ready to showcase their practice while also being involved in building and installing a body of work that requires production support.
The Elevate Program connects selected artists with a team of experienced printers, framers, and designers, giving them access to production and curatorial expertise. Participants receive a variety of benefits, including discounted art and design services, solo or duo exhibition opportunities, and increased community engagement. Our mission is to empower artists by providing professional resources and a platform to grow and gain experience.
If interested in the Elevate Program, contact co-founder Tryst Red at TrystRed@gmail.com
