Chester Art Centre
Chester Art Centre is within a minutes walk of Chester's new STORYHOUSE theatre in the heart of Chester. We provide both artists and the public with a state-of-the-art Giclee printer with which to print your art and photography. We now have our own picture framing studio where you can get your piece of art professionally 'dressed'.

We know exactly how to compliment artwork and offer 10% off framing services to artists who require picture frames for their own art. Photographers looking to avoid expensive fees can rent out our quiet studio space which is equipped with professional apparatus. By bringing together artists from a wide range of disciplines, we help the arts community, teachers and the interested public find just the advice they are looking for.
Services
We source fantastic local, national and international artists from a wide range of disciplines. We strongly believes in artists and creatives, exhibiting the best already established and upcoming talents. We regularly rotate artwork, giving our guests the opportunity to always enjoy new art.

We hold solo shows for individual artists as wells as open exhibitions on various themes, where different artists submit up to 5 pieces of art on a given theme and the best ones get exhibited.An abstract painting or a copy of a Monet - we do not stick to patterns or clichs. We exhibit very different pieces of art and often those that you can't find anywhere else.
We work with a number of talented artists across various disciplines who are ready to commission your ideas. Oils, acrylics or pencil - whichever theme and medium you prefer for a portrait or that special place you went on a honeymoon to. Working WITH you to create a unique logo for your new business or to re-brand the existing one.
Helping our clients find the right frame for their piece of art with over 4000 mouldings to choose from. We have a professionally equipped framing studio right here in Chester and over 4000 mouldings to choose from! We also offer discounts to artists with their own work. Our framing prices are extremely competitive and we always work towards your budget; no matter how large or small.
Having done photography for many years ourselves, we understand how difficult it can be to find a place for your shoots. Whether you are doing portraiture, product photography or fashion photography - we have tried it all ourselves and know what you need. Quality professional lighting, a 'do not disturb' sign, comfy sofas for your models and a nice stereo to keep you chilled yet focused.
The Centre operates a state-of-the-art Giclee printer which is able to print to paper or canvas providing artists and the public with the means to reproduce art and photography to the highest standards. We like to think that our Giclee prices are quite competitive and have been arrived at by careful consideration of our standing regards to local competition and also the costs involved in the actual print process.

Did an amazing job of framing my oil painting. Rather large frame that wouldn't fit in the car, they were happy to keep the painting until I returned to collect. Very professional and great value for money, would highly recommend.

Travelled to Chester to hopefully find something new and surprising. Only to find this place closed. Not impressed.

Great little studio for photographers. I used their studio to take product photography images for my web clients. Ideal space for photographers wanting a friendly, positive environment to work in. Cheers. Will use again should I get any ecommerce requests :)

A great place to see art by local artists. They have a digital printing machine to scan and make prints of your art work .
