About Eureka Art & Frame Co. in Eureka, CA
When you live in Eureka, you know this place holds onto history. From the Victorian architecture of Old Town to the fog rolling in over Humboldt Bay, there is a deep appreciation here for craftsmanship and preservation. That same respect for history and artistry is what we bring to every project at Eureka Art & Frame Co. I’m Gabe Rose, and I have been part of this company since 1986. In 2010, I became the owner, and since then, I have continued the tradition of careful, high-quality custom framing that our community has trusted since 1982.
We are a full-service framing shop, and more importantly, we are a local business rooted right here in Eureka. Every piece that comes through our doors matters, whether it is a cherished family photo, a signed jersey, a fine art print, or an original painting.
A Local Shop with Deep Roots
Eureka Art & Frame Co. has been serving Humboldt County since 1982. Over the decades, we have worked with families, artists, collectors, and businesses throughout Eureka and the surrounding areas. Living and working on the North Coast means understanding the local climate, too. The coastal moisture, cool temperatures, and fluctuating humidity levels can affect artwork and photographs if they are not properly protected.
Because of that, we specialize in archival-quality custom framing. We use UV-protective glass and acid-free mats to protect your items from fading, discoloration, and deterioration. It is not just about making something look good on the wall. It is about preserving it for generations.
Custom Framing Is Our Specialty
Custom picture framing is what we do best. No job is too small or too large for us. Whether you are framing a small family snapshot or a large-scale canvas, we approach each piece with the same meticulous attention to detail.
We carry a large selection of moulding and framing materials, allowing us to tailor each frame to your style and the character of your artwork. From rustic frames that complement Humboldt’s natural beauty to sleek, modern designs that suit contemporary interiors, we work with you to create a unique solution.
I take pride in hand-finishing frames and carefully selecting colors and textures that elevate your treasured items. The right frame should enhance the artwork without overpowering it. It should feel intentional and balanced within your space.
Protecting What Matters Most
I often tell customers that I do not just frame art. I protect memories. Photos from Sequoia Park, artwork inspired by the redwoods, memorabilia from a lifetime in Humboldt County, or heirlooms passed down through generations all deserve careful handling.
Our archival framing process includes:
- UV-protective glass to reduce sun damage
- Acid-free mats and backing materials
- Secure mounting techniques
- Professional sealing to minimize environmental exposure
These steps ensure your photos, documents, and artwork remain vibrant and intact despite the coastal environment.
More Than Just Framing
While custom framing is our core service, we offer much more. We provide canvas stretching, shrink wrapping, and preservation solutions for a wide variety of items. Artists throughout Eureka trust us to properly stretch and frame their work before gallery display or sale.
We also feature art sales from local artist Matt Beard, offering customers the opportunity to bring distinctive artwork into their homes. Supporting local artists is part of who we are, and it reflects the creative spirit that runs through our community.
Whether you are redecorating a home near Henderson Center, updating an office downtown, or preserving a piece of Humboldt County history, we are here to help.
Personalized Service You Can Count On
One of the things that sets us apart is our personal approach. When you walk into our shop, you are not dealing with a chain store or a rotating staff. You are working directly with someone who has decades of experience and a genuine passion for craftsmanship.
We take the time to listen, discuss options, and guide you through the process. Framing should not feel overwhelming. It should feel collaborative and enjoyable. Our goal is to create something that you are proud to display in your home or business.
Over the years, we have built long-term relationships with customers throughout Eureka and Humboldt County. Many families return to us again and again because they trust our work and appreciate the care we put into every project.
