Services
We take framing seriously, to us creating a bespoke frame is as much an art form as the pieces we're framing. Whether it's the smallest photograph to the biggest artwork, we'll frame it all to the highest standard and quality. We are passionate about bespoke framing because we know that it can help elevate a cherished item into something that will forever inspire the walls of your home or business.
Our unique consultancy service allows us to offer a relaxed environment for a shared approach to sourcing the right piece for you - as well as offer independent advice on the best style, size, frame and location in your home or business based on your unique requirements. If you have your own unique idea in mind, we can work with our artists to help bring a vision to life by understanding the individual specifications for your home or business.
Since 2008 we have provided a relaxed and welcoming environment to source inspirational art. As contemporary art advocates we know that art doesn't just belong in our gallery, it belongs in your home or business. Our collection is ever growing and our space is changing constantly with our revolving collection and new arrivals.

I used Canvas Galleries for all my artwork (both business and personal). The level of customer service I have experienced is excellent, staff have time to discuss your needs from framing to purchasing a piece. It’s a definitely a local store with great product knowledge and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Beautiful little gallery in one of our favourite little spots of Belfast. Paul was lovely, a pleasure to talk to and clearly very passionate about the art they sell. He gave us some really interesting insights into the artists style and techniques and was happy to offer advice and share local knowledge. Some beautiful art in-store with a good mixture of originals and prints. Will be back again very soon!

Very poor. I was interested in framing ten 16" x 25" art posters so phoned the shop, the sales person who answered said he wasn't interested as they have lots on and they weren't worth his time especially with the late notice. Fair enough, though no need for the arrogance. So I went down the road to Town House Framing on Great Victoria Street and they will have 5 of the posters ready by Saturday, at a good price too.

I am basing my review on a launch of an exhibition I attended here in November of last year.
It was a great little show where 50 artists submitted 2 small canvasses each to the show. The canvasses filled the walls and it was fun trying to guess the pairs artists had submitted.
My friend had two fantastic paintings in this show, but some of the stuff submitted was real amateur crap. Like stuff drawn with markers with tinfoil stuck on it. I mean come on!
For someone like my friend, who has a degree in Fine Art, works in an artist studio and is trained to a high level to be exhibiting her work

This gallery was unfortunately rather uninspiring. Yes, there were some nice pictures, it was well laid out and set in a nice, airy space. But all I can really say about it is that it was average, one that could be missed. It was nice that we were left to our own devices to browse through the pieces but at the same time this gave the impression that the owner couldn't really care less about us and was more concerned about having a chat with his mate who just called in rather than serving two paying customers. There is a framing service offered, and I must say there were some nice moulds on

I strolled in here with a friend after having a pizza down the street to be pleasantly surprised. Being someone who studied Art History at degree level, I have quite a specific taste and personal likes and dislikes when it comes to art, especially commercial art that is for sale in local galleries, but I really liked what they were offering here although I couldn't' afford it! The gallery was showing work by Hugh Clawson and Seanna McCann, and the Hugh Clawson ceramic pictures were really pretty, with little Irish scenes painted on the ceramic tile, with bright, eye-catching colours which
