Davis Gallery & Framing — Attraction in Austin

Davis Gallery holds high standards for art both thought-provoking and well executed, while sincerely welcoming all who share this interest. If you have felt both comfortable and mentally stimulated at other high-end galleries like Wally Workman's you will be at home here. High quality work and knowledgeable people elevate the experience, and our city. I enjoy the full range of Austin art, especially the Open Studio Tour with over 500 artists, and buy what I can; earrings or prints usually, for now.

Still, the reality is to rise up as a great city you need this level to anchor, to establish as holding your own. We also do this with our increasing nationally recognized restaurants, flagship UT, and such. These supply in part more common or basic needs, while art by its nature operates as the experience within the brain. The whole range of art works together, from a spalted slab with an inlay presented as a table to a ceramic bowl at once like a painting and like a bowl, to a painting just like it, on a 2-D surface...

I recently stopped by this picture frame shop and was really impressed. The attached art gallery was a nice surprise, with some interesting pieces that made the visit more enjoyable. The frames themselves are top-notch, with excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. What really sets this place apart is the way they work with you to find the perfect frame for your art. The staff knows their stuff and really takes the time to help you make the right choice. Overall, it’s a great spot if you’re looking for high-quality frames and a bit of guidance...

The art gallery side of the Davis Gallery makes Austin art and artists accessible to anyone who can take the time to visit their shop. Their shows are as much about trends, themes, and ideas as they are about sales. The Art in their shows seems to be chosen mainly on aesthetic and thematic merit, but, at the same time, there is something for every budget. If you are in town and you only have time for one art stop, Davis Gallery...
