After a brief hiatus due to major training at the shop, we are psyched to start up our biweekly newsletters again!
Summer is in full swing, and between framing and art classes, we've had our plates full with lots of news to share with you.
Read below for a colorful framer's corner, learn about our upcoming art classes and some celebration of our store...

This month's framer's corner features the one and only, the Notorious R.B.G!

From Butterflies to balloons, and flowers galore... this interactive space is a must see in Midtown!

When you drive down Brooks St in Missoula, you are sure to see your share of car lots, big name pharmacies, and an occasional drive through coffee shop. But one thing that you don't see a lot of is places to walk and interact with Midtown, signs of Missoula's vibrant art scene, or places for kids to safely explore and play.
We wanted to do our part in taking this industrial strip, and bringing a splash of life and joy to it.
On the west side of the building, we've transformed an plain dirty graffitti ridden wall into a place you can explore, play and stop and smell the flowers.

Frame of Mind welcomes local artist Emily Greenlund for an evening of Oil Painting 101!
Learn to magically manipulate the medium of the Masters! Don’t worry, you don’t have to be Davinci or Bob Ross to make something beautiful. This class will focus on the basics, but folks of all skill levels are welcome to attend.
Emily will show you how to get the most out of basic primary colors, a palette knife, and just a few brushes. Learn how different brush styles create different effects, and compose a basic landscape with just a few simple techniques. Emily will share all her favorite tricks, but you’ll also learn from, laugh with, and be inspired by your fellow students. Come to learn something new, dust of your skills, or just relax and have fun.
As always, our Art Supply store has you covered should you need supplies, and students get 10% off.
