"Art That Fits"

I would like to share with you a neat website www.artthatfits.com. You not only can adjust the size of the art but you can order a sample. For $5 you can order a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" sample of the piece of art you are considering. This way you know the color is what you want without investing the full amount. If you should decide to order the art, then the $5 is deducted from the cost of the piece. You can't lose!

Happy hunting!! Oh, one more thing. Have the art sent to me at The Art Galllery and there is no shipping charges. I will call you when it arrives and help you with the framing choices.

We're located on the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Monroe Street in downtown LaPorte, In. Call (219)362-7211 for more information. Hope to talk with you soon,
Judy

However, the great thing about our custom moulding is that we can make it any size that it needs to be to fit your art work and the look of the space where the art is to be hung.

Stop soon to see Judy and let her help you find what you're looking for in a frame. We're located at 700 Jefferson Ave., LaPorte, IN 46350 Ph (219) 362-7211

Therapeudic effect of art

When art is added to a room it can bring color, style and happiness to the space. A mobile hanging over a baby's crib stimulates his mind. A patient in a doctor's office waiting for test results may feel a sense of calmness looking into a serene landscape image. Therapists often encourage children to draw things they are unable to talk about.

Whether art is used as decor in your home or a tool to work through a problem its very clear...art is powerful.

Visit us soon at the Art Gallery, 700 Jefferson Ave, LaPorte, In. or Call (219)362-7211. Hope to hear from you soon Judy

October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October being breast cancer awareness month is a great opportunity to celebrate the women in our lives. If you know any one who has participated, or plans to participate, in a walk for cancer this would be a great way to keep that memory alive by framing a photo of the event.

Again, its framing a memory that we do best at The Art Gallery. We located at 700 Jefferson Avenue, LaPorte, In. Stop in soon or call 362-7211. Hope to see you soon, Judy

I wonder if you are all familar with the term "man cave". This is a safe haven for the man of the house where he can put anything he wants on the walls. There's always something going on for the sports enthusiast! We have framed boxing shorts, hole-in-one flag & scorecard, and many, many jersies.

We have a new Jersey Pro on display now which opens from the front and gives you easy access at anytime. Its large enough to accomodate a jacket, full uniform or XXL jersey. It has conservation glass so there will be no fading.

We're doing our best to keep memories alive

Let's talk glass for a minute. We all know to keep art out of direct sunlight and we just need to exercise common sense. However, fading comes from indirect light, household lights and age. Sometimes the process is so gradual you don't realize it untill its too late.

Premium clear and non-glare glass protects your art 45% from UV fading. While conservation clear and non-glare protects your art and perhaps heirlooms 99%! Consider Museum Glass which not only protects your treasures 99% but eliminates all reflection. Stop in to see it for yourself.

We're doing our best at keeping your memories live at 700 Jefferson Avenue, LaPorte, IN. Ph (219)362-7211 Stop by and see me soon. Judy
