The Alley Gallery

The Alley Gallery Expert framing since 1985. Our skilled artists can handle the difficult picture framing jobs that other stores cannot. No project is to big or small!

Independently owned and operated by a small, friendly staff; we go above & beyond to make your custom framing experience phenomenal & fun. If you've been to Downtown Evanston, chances are you've walked by without even knowing it. Tucked down an alley between Sherman and Benson Avenues, we like to think of our shop as discreetly located. There's parking right at our door and our parrot, Jessica, will surely keep you company. Call us or stop in today. We look forward to helping you soon.
