When do you have the sale?
This is our first one! It will be held on Small Business Saturday on November 30 in our Highland Park showroom.

Dates for 2019:

November 30

Where is the sale?
In the Artists Frame Service showroom at 225 Skokie Valley Rd in the Cross Roads Shopping Center.

What kind of stuff is on sale?
All kinds of empty frames in standard and miscellaneous sizes, pre-cut mats, photo frames, photo albums, framed and unframed artwork, framed mirrors and other odds and ends.

Is the sale on custom framing?
There is not. But you can save a lot by purchasing an empty frame at our sale and working with our designers to customize it to fit your art. 

I just missed the sale. Can I get a deal without waiting a whole month?
No worries. Every day in our showroom we offer a selection of the same sale frames in standard sizes. The selection is constantly changing and the prices are the same as Outlet Sale day.

Are these frames really 80% off?
Yes. The frames are high quality frames, many imported from Italy and Spain. They are on sale because they are miscut, leftover, overstocked or discontinued.

Are all sales final?
Empty frames can be returned with a receipt for store credit only within 30 days. All artwork is final sale.

Do you also have the sale at your other stores?
Yes! Our Lincoln Park sale is the OG-OS. (Original Outlet Sale, get it?) That one we have the first Sunday of every single month in our store at 1867 N. Clybourn.

How do I get my art into the empty frame I just purchased?
Option 1: Some of our sale frames are sold with flexible tabs (flex points) that you simply bend up and back to fit your art in. Anyone can do this.

Option 2: For a small fee, we will add glass, backing and the flex points to any frame. We can also cut a custom mat for your art. You are all set up to do-it-yourself.

Option 3: Take your outlet frame and your art to one of our frame consultants to design custom matting. One week later your piece will be complete.

Who should be shopping at the Outlet Sale?
Art lovers, art makers, art collectors, creative types, bargain-hunters, anyone and everyone. You know who you are.
