At Frames & Stretchers Miami, we bring your artwork to life through museum-quality custom framing, handcrafted with conservation, craftsmanship, and creativity at the forefront. Located in the heart of Miami’s Little River arts district, our custom framing studio serves the vibrant communities of Wynwood, Coconut Grove, Brickell, and beyond. We work with artists, galleries, collectors, interior designers, and corporate clients to design custom frames that preserve and elevate artwork in any setting.
Whether you’re framing an original painting, stretching a canvas for an exhibition, or creating a statement piece for a residential or commercial space, our expert team is dedicated to delivering the highest standard of framing using archival materials, hand-finished hardwoods, museum-grade glass, and a personalized approach.
Miami’s art scene is bold, colorful, and fast-paced. At Frames & Stretchers, our custom framing reflects the dynamic spirit of South Florida, while adhering to strict conservation standards. Our goal is to protect your artwork and enhance its visual impact through custom framing solutions that are equal parts design and preservation.
Clients choose us because we offer:
- Custom wood and metal frames built entirely in-house
- Closed corner frames, floater frames, shadow boxes, and Plexibox displays
- Canvas stretching with custom-built stretcher bars
- Archival matting and mounting with reversible methods
- UV-filtering museum glass and acrylic to protect art from heat and light
- White-glove pickup, delivery, and installation across Miami-Dade and South Florida
Each frame is handcrafted by our experienced team, ensuring precision, durability, and aesthetic excellence. Whether it's a minimalist metal floater for a modern condo or a handcrafted maple shadow box for a textile piece, we customize every detail to suit the artwork and its environment.
Our hardwood frames are made from sustainably sourced woods including maple, walnut, ash, and oak. These frames are ideal for adding warmth, depth, and richness to artworks like paintings, photographs, and prints. In Miami homes and commercial interiors, natural wood frames offer a balance of elegance and durability, especially when finished with UV-resistant oils or stains.
We offer closed-corner frames with splined or joined finishes that seamlessly wrap around the artwork. Clients can choose from natural stains, lacquered finishes, pastel colors, or even 22k gold gilding for a more luxurious look.
In coastal homes and contemporary spaces, welded metal frames offer a clean, architectural edge. We fabricate steel and aluminum frames in-house, available in raw metal, matte black, powder-coated tones, or custom RAL colors. These frames are often selected for minimalism and strength, perfect for large works or design-forward installations in hotels, offices, or private residences.
We also offer metal floater frames that provide the illusion of the artwork “floating” within the frame, ideal for canvas paintings and mixed media work.
If your artwork is on canvas, our gallery wrap canvas stretching services ensure it’s tightly and professionally prepared for display. We fabricate our own stretcher bars from kiln-dried wood, which holds tension even in Miami’s humid conditions.
We can stretch artworks of any size, from small canvases to pieces over 20 feet wide, using techniques trusted by galleries and art fairs like Art Basel Miami Beach. Our stretcher bars are built to last, and we also offer re-stretching, un-stretching for transport, and crating solutions.
Miami’s bright, sun-filled spaces make it especially important to protect artwork from harmful UV rays. That’s why we offer a full range of museum-quality glazing options, including:
Tru Vue Museum Glass – Virtually invisible, anti-reflective, and 99% UV-blocking
Optium Museum Acrylic – Lightweight, shatterproof, anti-static, and UV-filtering
UV Acrylic – A more affordable option for large or travel-prone pieces
These glazing materials preserve color, reduce glare, and protect against fading. They’re essential for valuable prints, photographs, and delicate works on paper.
We specialize in custom shadow boxes and Plexiboxes to frame objects with depth—such as textiles, collages, memorabilia, or 3D artwork. Each frame is designed with custom depths, archival supports, and acid-free materials to cradle and display the piece with elegance.
Clear acrylic Plexiboxes are particularly popular in Miami’s modern art scene for their clean lines and high-impact presentation. Whether you're displaying a jersey, a sculptural ceramic, or a series of objects, we build a unique box that protects and highlights your piece.
Every mat and mount we use is museum-grade and acid-free, with options for conservation rag mats, floated artwork, or hand-wrapped silk or linen finishes. We use reversible mounting methods such as:
- Japanese paper hinges
- Archival corner pockets
- Sink mounts
- Magnetic mounts for especially delicate pieces
These techniques ensure your artwork is preserved without damage, ideal for valuable or historic works.

We draw inspiration from the city’s architecture, coastal light, and colorful art scene. Whether you're looking for a crisp white floater frame for a gallery show or a gilded hardwood frame for a luxury condo, we help you create a design that complements both the artwork and its setting.
During events like Art Basel Miami Beach, our team supports artists and curators with tight deadlines, fast fabrication, and coordinated logistics.
