We serve many different segments of the fine art community.

Museums
We are a Professional Member of the American Association of Museums (AAM) We sell to many museums in the country. 
Some of which are: Baltimore Museum of Art, The Art Institute of Chicago, Cleveland Museum of Art, The Getty Museum, The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Los Angeles County Museum, Milwaukee Museum of Fine Art, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Walker Art Center, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Orlando Museum of Art, Princeton University Gallery, St. Louis Museum of Fine Arts, and The National Gallery in Washington DC.

Picture Framers
We are a member of the Professional Picture Framing Association. We sell to picture framers who specialize in framing original fine art to collectors who require fixed corner frames especially with splines.  We are especially known for our white and black seamless corner frames. All of our profiles can be modified to specific sizes or rabbet depths.

We often custom mill oversize frames as well as extra deep frames for shadow boxes.  We can provide cleats for installation. For framers who do gilding we have  unfinished basswood profiles.

Artists and Photographers
                           
We sell to artists and photographers who are responsible for framing their own exhibitions. In addition to purchasing frames, artists can purchase, spacers, strainers, glazing, mats, backing boards, hardware and framing supplies. This takes the stress out of framing exhibitions and makes them much more affordable. If you need to ship a frame(s) from your studio to other locations, Metropolitan can supply you with sturdy shipping boxes with foam corners.

Galleries
We provide frames and supplies for many galleries that are framing for their artists, especially larger exhibitions. Many galleries either do framing or have a local framer.  We can be your back up if there are  time constraints and you need it done quickly. We can ship frames direct to the gallery or to the frame shop for assembly and fitting. Galleries representing artist’s estates often use us to custom mill frames that were similar to how the artist’s work was originally framed.

University instructors and students.
Metropolitan is a long time member of the College Art Association. We sell to many fine art instructors and are an ideal source for BFA and MFA students who need to frame their exhibitions. Students are usually on a “tight budget” but require excellent frames. We can provide low priced options and framing advice to make sure they learn the professional way of framing and mounting an exhibition. Coming soon to our site will be videos that will give detailed advice on all the different aspects of framing.
