Part-Time Custom Framer

Art Leaders Gallery is seeking an experienced Part-Time Custom Framer to join our team. Our gallery is family-owned and takes pride in offering exceptional service, with custom framing as a major part of that mission. We frame a wide variety of artwork and memorabilia, from works on paper and canvas to sports jerseys, textiles, and historical objects. Every day brings a new creative challenge.

What Makes This Role Different

This is not a corporate environment with rigid structures and layers of management. Instead, you’ll find autonomy, creativity, and impact as part of a close-knit team where adaptability and initiative are valued. In this role, you’ll enjoy:

The freedom to contribute ideas and see them put into action

A chance to make an impact as a key member of the team, not just a number

A dynamic, hands-on work environment where problem-solving is essential

If you’re a motivated self-starter who thrives in a creative setting, this role could be a great fit.
