WELCOME TO
THE STATE COLLEGE FRAMING CO. & GALLERY
We’re a full-service custom frame shop serving individual clients, businesses, and artists. As we move through 2025, we continue our 30th year of servicing the framing, photo printing, and art needs of central Pennsylvania.
The State College Framing Co & Gallery, Inc opened its doors in October of 1995 with the ideals of providing a high-quality product and a high level of service in a warm, inviting environment reflective of the products and services provided. Today, more than twenty-nine years later, these ideals still hold true. We strive to treat all our customers and all projects with the highest level of care. Whether we’re framing a child’s drawing, shadowboxing a signed jersey, or framing an original O’Keeffe painting, we treat the people and the work with the same respect. I would like to invite you to stop by the shop and gallery, take a look around, say “hi”, and see how we can help preserve and present your works of art for a lifetime. — John McQueary II –
CUSTOM FRAMING:
The State College Framing Co. & Gallery is a professional custom picture framing shop specializing in the design and construction of custom picture frames for works of art on canvas and paper, photography, prints, and posters. We also custom-frame a wide range of needle art and textile-based arts, as well as other objects and collectibles meant to be framed and displayed in a shadow box. Whether our client’s item is an original oil by Georgia O’Keeffe, a work on paper thought to be done by Michelangelo, a diploma, a child’s drawing, or a signed sports jersey, it is as important to us as it is to our clients, and deserves better than a one-size-fits-all approach.
PHOTO PRINTING & FINE ART PHOTO REPRODUCTION
We now offer fine art photo printing and photo reproduction services. I have invested in state-of-the-art technology to bring these services to you our guests and our clients. We now have the ability to print any digital image file, scan any photo, slide, or transparency, and create a fine art photo reproduction in its original color or in black and white. This makes it possible for our guests and clients to have one-stop shopping for their photo printing and custom framing services. Stop in and see all we can do. We constantly focus on providing the best in service using the latest and greatest technology available, to bring our customers the highest quality product.
Mark Your Calendar – The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts
July 9 – 13, 2025
The State College Framing Co & Gallery is a proud sponsor of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts
Over the past 59 years, the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts has become one of the top-ranked juried art fairs in the country, the highlight of the State College summer, one of the biggest non-football alumni weekends for Penn Staters, the summer’s economic anchor for downtown State College businesses, and the place to be for art, music, and fun the week after Independence Day.
For many of the 125,000+ visitors and hundreds of volunteers each year, the Arts Festival is an enduring tradition, experienced with friends and family, and not to be missed. Please explore this site to learn more about the many facets of Arts Fest. Note that the full site will be updated as of June 1, 2025. Until then, segments will be updated as they are ready. Otherwise the information will show 2024’s information.

Kate Mount2023-12-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t possibly count the number of pieces we have had framed at SCFC as gifts for our family. They are always treasured. And in our own home I haven’t actually counted but I think I can safely say we have at least 15 framed pieces. We’ve never used anyone else but State College Framing Co. They are so good at what they do. They help to make every piece come alive. They know exactly how to make any piece of art, any photograph, old postcards, kids art work from kindergarten, really anything!, look amazing framed. They help with colors and styles and they’re always spot on! I have never and will never go anywhere else with my framing needs. State College Framing Company also shows other artist’s work in their beautiful gallery store ~ which is so nice. You will not be disappointed if you choose SCFC to frame your next piece. They’ll do an amazing job! Diana Malcom2023-10-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The craftsmanship is superior! We could not be more pleased with the beautiful framing and the sense of care we were provided for the framing of our collage of events posters. We very highly recommend this team for all your framing needs! Plus, there are local artist offerings ensuring unique gift giving! Cory Baggett2023-08-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John provided superb, custom craftmanship and attention to detail and was extremely helpful in selecting the perfect frame for our piece. I couldn't be happier! Thank you! Jonna Jabco2023-03-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very new to the “artist world”. John and Kevin guided me, encouraged me and educated me on what I needed to do. The quality of their work is outstanding. Top notch service and very professional. When I am at the shop with my latest project I always enjoy strolling the gallery, if you have never visited the gallery, I highly recommend it. Thanks so much John for all of your help😊 Jared Rovison2022-12-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They do excellent work and treat your piece as if it was priceless. I’m very happy with how the framing turned out and they were able to give it some new life. The slate was my grandparents and held tremendous sentimental value and it unfortunately got broken we I moved and they were able to put it back together for me and frame it for safe keeping. Ben Beck2022-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John spent a full hour with us (and would have been willing to spend more time, I'm sure)... even 30 minutes past closing hours. We had very little idea what we wanted but he was super patient and walked us through all the options and have us great advice. Seriously pleased with the service! If you need a custom frame this is the place to go. Amber Goss2022-06-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was told that framing is an art that compliments the artwork and was recommended to have John work his magic. I absolutely love the quality and kindness of working with John and his artistic gifts. Chris Weaver2022-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The State College Framing Company & Gallery is awesome. Our company just worked with them for the first time for some office artwork. They were friendly and very professional and the project turned out amazing. Maureen Riley2022-03-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Since moving to State College in 2017, I have had a number of framing jobs done by The State College Framing Company & Gallery. Not only have these jobs been superb, but the two framing artists, John and Jeff, have gone above and beyond to make certain that I was more than happy with the results. Not only is The State College Framing Company & Gallery the only place I will go for framing, but it is also my go-to location for gifts. They have an extensive collection of original art and ceramics (among other things) and I have found a number of wonderful gifts for all sorts of occasions. I'm extremely grateful for everything that John and Jeff have done for me and I will certainly be back for more!
