Welcome to the Fine Art Trade Guild web site. Everyone working in the art and framing industry should make this their home. The Guild is here to serve you. We hope that the information here will prove invaluable. Let us know if you can’t find what you want; let us know if you find something that you consider needs improvement or correction. The Fine Art Trade Guild is the stronger for your engagement with us. Consumers locate their nearest professional framers through the Guild website; the trade sources their products and equipment here; customers find out what’s on and who sells what in these pages. Ensure your company is found by maintaining Guild membership and your commitment to the Guild Code of Ethics. The public is urged to look for the Guild Commended Framer (GCF) logo! More and more framers are now taking the specialist qualifications available in Advanced Textile Framing, Conservation and Mount Design and Function. Framers, make sure that’s you. Guild Members keep up to date with the latest standards, trends and materials through their regular reading of Art Business Today, which the Guild publishes for the trade. It’s available on subscription, too, but far better to get it free of charge in what is the most comprehensive membership package of any art and framing related trade association, worldwide. If you can’t save money and add value to your business by being a Guild Member, you shouldn’t be in business. Standards and qualifications development, dispute resolution, merchant services cost savings and specialist information are just a fraction of what the Guild provides. These pages cover many aspects of the art and framing industry but only Guild Members get privileged access to all the information, advice and services; after all, they are the Fine Art Trade Guild.
