45º Gallery & Framing

I took an art piece I had made decades ago and thought it deserved to have a high quality custom frame upgrade. They showed me the different frames that best complimented and enhanced the piece bringing out the colors and adding to the experience of looking at it. I couldn't be happier with the frame and the high quality job they did! Highly recommend!

If you need a picture hung professionally look no more, Mr. Reed from 45 Degrees Is a highly skilled and professional craftsman. Mr. Reid hung two large frames for me. The first frame was a picture frame above the walkway, wood frame with glass, the second frame he hung was a mirror with a thick wood frame. Each frame weighed about 40 to 45 pounds, both needed special instructions. Mr. Reid handled it like a champion! BTW the “45 Degrees” in not only a picture framing establishment its also an Art Gallery with local talented artist. They also carry fine crafted jewelry, ornamental glass, and beautifully handcrafted midsize tables…. It’s a very nice place to visit in a great location, a place you must see!!! 🙏🏻🇺🇸 I added an update: Mr. Reed has done some outstanding work for us, so we had 45 Degree Gallery come back again and hang some Wrestling plaques. These are California State Triple Crown Winner, National, and USA Wrestling World Team plagues in our son’s in the making ABGTC Wrestling room. Again, awesome work!!! 🙏🏻🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reed and Emily have a gallery filled with a quality collection of local artists' distinctive artworks. Be sure to stop in during First Friday, or other times, to not miss out on new pieces. And I've been delighted Reed's keen eye when he recently helped me select the perfect frame this and other paintings I've brought to him for framing.

This shop has so many beautiful pieces! I stopped in to buy a gift for my husband's nana, her 95th birthday, and I wanted something special. There were so many beautiful vases, cups, and art pieces, and I just didn't know what to choose! Emily was so helpful in giving me suggestions, and I found the piece I wanted. When his nana opened her gift, she was in tears, and everyone else loved it as well. Thank you for helping me find a one of a kind piece!

Love this place. I wanted to frame a Company guidon. The owners worked with me, gave me tips on how to save money, and went out of their way to make it better than the initial design plan. Thank you so much.

Great people, always some of the best art in town at accessible prices. I keep going back and it's always worth the trip.

TL;DR: Incredible customer service, gorgeous art for any budget, and a friendly puppy to boot! My wife and I are visiting from Minnesota and stumbled on this gallery Sunday afternoon after a hike through Garden of the Gods. We were amazed with the quality and variety of the work by local artists, with excellent options for any budget. We were particularly thrilled to discover the work of Stephanie Moon and purchased one of her original works as well as a print. Unfortunately, they didn't have the print in the size we wanted, and we were to head home early Wednesday morning. Since they're closed Monday and Tuesday, we resigned to either having it shipped or picking it up next time my wife is in town for appointments. But Emily (one of the owners) went ahead and texted the artist on the spot and asked how soon she could have a print ready. After learning they could have a print in hand by Monday, they arranged to have us come in on Tuesday morning to pick it up before we leave (even though the shop would be closed)! Reed (the other owner) called me first thing Tuesday morning letting me know it's ready for pickup (including custom matting)! That's top-level customer service that is quite a rare find. And to top it all off, they've got a new puppy named Moose, who is just the sweetest little thing! He's still a puppy in training, so he hasn't quite internalized dog/customer boundaries, but if you love dogs, you simply have to drop by and say hello! Will edit the review to add photos once we've returned home and hung the art, but needed to get my happy thoughts about this place down while they're still fresh!

Years ago, we stumbled upon this gallery after moving to Colorado Springs. Emily and Reed are the owners and they are some of the absolute best people you will meet who genuinely care about their business, their customers, and the artists with whom they work. Fast forward, and DOZENS (maybe even over a hundred) of purchases later, it's safe to say we absolutely love this gallery, not only for our own art collections, but also as a place to buy truly unique gifts for every type of celebration and milestone. The selection of goods ranges greatly to meet a wide variety of likes and needs; and they do framing too! We've purchased so many pieces of art for our friends and family, and they always rave about the quality, uniqueness, and beauty. Sadly, we are moving away but given their online presence, it will likely not be the end of our shopping. Support local artists, support small business, and support 45 Degrees! Thank you Emily and Reed for making our journey in Colorado Springs so memorable.

This place is awesome for picture framing!! I had a couple thankas that I wanted framed, and Reed (the owner) was extremely helpful and insightful in selecting the best mat and frame combinations. What he ultimately produced was wonderful -- the color and frame selections were spot-on for the thankas, and the workmanship was absolutely perfect. A real attention to detail. Thank you!!

Great gallery plus they're the best frame shop in town! Real pros who give you your money's worth. Some other frame shops in the area subcontract to them! (I know this first hand.) Avoid the mark up- go directly to Reed and Emily.

45 Degree Gallery is a delightful place. We were informed that they represent over 50 artists, almost all of them living in Colorado. We, my husband and I, have purchased many lovely pieces for our home from 45 Degree Gallery. It is a joy to have an original piece of work from a local artist. We have had many items framed there as well. The service has always been exceptional. We have been able to purchase terrific gifts for friends and family.

After many quotes I choose 45 Degree to do my framing. I was impressed with the selection. I was given several options and was able to find something to fit my budget. My art, in an AWESOME frame, is now hanging flawlessly on my wall. Thank you 45 Degree!!
