Waterfront Framing has been a custom frameshop located downtown St. Joe for over 25 years. For the first time ever, you will design your art piece. You will go home with your artwork designed and framed that day!! This will be a fun experience where you will select the art piece of Frida Kahlo, select your mat board color and of course the frame that makes it all sing!
Never framed before? No worries! This is a wonderful intro into designing. Discover the possibilites of all that a frame can do. Join us in an evening of hors d'oeuvres, alcohol- free cocktails and learn more about the Frida Kalho. Leave with a finished art piece!
Frida Kahlo was a central figure in the Neomexicanismo Art Movement in Mexico which emerged in the 1970's. Her art has been called folk art due to traditional elements and some call it Surrealist though Kahlo herself said "They thought I was surrealist, but I wasn't. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality." In May 2006, her self-portrait Roots sold for US$5.6 million dollars setting an auction record for a Latin American art piece. Join us in honoring this artist and celebrating her culture during Hispanic Herritage Month.
