Our Story

How It All Started:

While visiting San Francisco in the 1980s, Frank stumbled across a poster gallery on Union Street. The bold, fine art prints sparked an idea—something fresh he could bring back to Adelaide.

We’re Open!

In March 1981, The Poster Gallery opened on Grote Street—the first store in
Australia dedicated to fine art posters. As demand quickly grew for custom framing,
Frank rolled up his sleeves and learned the craft, attending trade shows and framing classes.

From Posters to Prints:

By 1984, a second store—Prints Etc—opened in City Cross, expanding the
business. From the beginning, the focus was clear: help people decorate their
homes with unique, affordable art—not the same old mass-produced prints seen
everywhere else.

Today:

Now known as Art & Frame, the business has proudly operated from its Unley Road
location since 1992. Alongside custom framing for every budget, the store also offers a wide selection of mirrors, limited edition artworks, and in-house fine art prints on both canvas and paper.

What We Stand For:

Art & Frame is all about helping you bring your walls to life. Whether it’s custom
framing or finding the perfect piece, the team is here to guide you—no pressure, just
expert advice. Staying on top of trends, staff regularly attend national and
international trade shows to keep ideas fresh and inspiring.
