Welcome to The State College Framing Co. & Gallery

We’re a full – service custom frame shop serving individual clients, businesses, and artists. As we kick off 2025, we continue our 30th year of servicing the framing 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 five 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, shadow boxing 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.

Customer Reviews

State College Framing Company is our first and only choice when we need a print finished. Whether we need framing, mounting or stretching, John always has the perfect solution!

State College Framing Company has provided excellent quality custom matting and framing for our design clients residentially and commercially. The service is truly wonderful. We have been so pleased with their work for closing in on 5 years. We look forward to working with them often in the future.

I have been using State College Framing Co. & Gallery for over 20 years. When I first met John I was so impressed with his attention to detail and how he cares about every project. He treats everything like his own and his workmanship shows. He and his staff are always welcoming and helpful and excellent with suggestions. I appreciate the service his store provides – something you just don’t get from a big box store. Highly recommend!
