The Frame Shop Gallery 912 is wrapping up its third annual sale, so go grab some great deals on some amazing artwork.
As the family of artists that show at Gallery 912 produce new creations, they tend to outgrow their own workspaces. To make room for new additions, owner Roger Laurent created the Artist's Closet Sale, where they can sell their pieces at a discounted rate for the few weeks that the sale lasts.
The sale ends this Saturday, so don't miss out on adorning that bare wall that is just begging for some freshening up. Learn more and check out some of the artwork here.
