Art and frame opened 38 years ago on Riccarton Road, Christchurch, the same spot it is today. As it has always done, Art and Frame prides itself on great quality products at affordable prices. This combined with excellent customer service and a professional team with more than 50 years experience behind them means that you can expect the results that you deserve.
We offer a large variety of services and products. (See Services for a more comprehensive list). We have thousands of prints on offer through our catalogues and 200 in stock, including New Zealand prints and many from overseas that are exclusive to us.
Behind the Gallery is the framing workshop where we frame, stretch, re-glaze, repair-and basically work our magic on almost anything. It doesn’t matter how small or large a job is we can give you an obligation free quote and explain all your options to you. We also stock Sid Dickens Memory Blocks, Frith Sculptures, and a selection of giftware plus a large range of cards. So when you’re next in Riccarton come in and check us out.

Jonathan has been with the team at Art & Frame since the end of 2021. His experience started from home, where he taught himself to frame his wife's photography and some of his own artworks. Since joining Art & Frame, Jonathan has learnt so much more and honed his skills both in the workshop and the consultation process. He is a Magician and a talented artist. Jonathan loves to see a treasured artwork framed beautifully, "The best part of my job is seeing the delight in the customers face when they pick up their newly framed art. Knowing I had just a little part in that is very special."
