In this episode of Deep Dives & Light Laughs, we sit down with Dave Petty, the owner and heart behind The Frame Center (a family-run business with over 50 years of history) in Hanover, MA. As a second-generation business owner, Dave has transformed his family’s framing business into a hub for the South Shore arts community. From supporting local artists and art associations to launching creative initiatives like the Inside the Frame podcast, Dave’s passion for fostering creativity is unmatched. Beyond framing, Dave serves on the boards of the North River Arts Society and the South Shore Art Center. He is passionate about art, community, and the connections they foster.
In this episode, we dive into the following topics with Dave:
- The history of The Frame Center (founded by his father) and Dave’s journey from a teenager in the family garage to leading The Frame Center.
- How The Frame Center supports local artists and contributes to the vibrant South Shore art scene.
- The inspiration behind The Frame Center’s educational videos and podcast, Inside the Frame, and how it builds connections through art.
- Why custom framing is both an art and a science and how it brings out the best in any piece.
- Tips for artists and collectors on choosing the right frames.
