Fine Art Framing Referrals in Kansas City
As Kansas City’s most comprehensive source of Fine Art support services, we at Soulis have learned that the right frame does more than enhance a work of art — it protects it, often for generations to come.

Why Museum-Quality Framing Matters
Proper framing is critical to safeguarding your artwork. Many commercial framers prioritize appearance but overlook essential preservation techniques.

We guide our Kansas City clients toward framers who specialize in:
Archival materials (acid-free, lignin-free matting and backing)
UV-protective glazing to shield against light damage
Conservation mounting methods that avoid adhesives harmful to artworks
Custom frame designs that respect the period and style of the piece
Whether you’re framing a contemporary painting, a valuable print, or a historic work on paper, our referrals ensure your art receives the care it deserves.

Fine Art Framing Referrals FAQs
nil
What is archival or museum-quality framing?
Archival framing uses conservation-grade materials and techniques designed to protect artwork from environmental damage over time. This includes acid-free matting, UV-filtering glass, and reversible mounting methods.
Why shouldn’t I use a standard commercial framer?
While many framers offer aesthetic options, few prioritize long-term preservation. Without archival materials, artworks—especially works on paper—can suffer irreversible damage from acidity, light exposure, or improper mounting.
Do I need to reframe older artworks?
If your artwork is framed with non-archival materials or shows signs of damage (such as yellowing mats or waviness), it’s wise to consult an expert. We can connect you with trusted Kansas City framers for evaluation.
Is there a fee for your framing referral service?
No. We offer this advisory service as part of our commitment to fine art stewardship in Kansas City. We do not accept commissions or fees from framing providers.
