Art and Photography Exhibitions August 2014
Here at Picture Frames Express we work with a number of exhibitions, museums and galleries to provide a great show by supplying quality picture frames. Whether you are an art collector, an artist, a photographer or just someone who enjoys great work, we have compiled a list of some prime opportunities this August to feast your eyes on quality work both from top artists/photographers and the more hobbyist among us.
