History
Established in 1996.
Karchelle’s Art & Framing Gallery opened in 1996. The gallery has remained true to the original vision which was to display local original artworks with prints obtained locally, nationally, and internationally. It also has maintained a reputation for completely unique custom framing with the highest possible standards of craftsmanship. Karchelle’s has over 4500 top quality mouldings available and hundreds of selections of textures, fabrics, and colors of mats. While everything produced in the framing department is done by hand, the design department used the most advanced technology available. Karchelle’s has the only Virtual Framing System in Sarasota which allows our clients to see any art completely framed in any and all of their choices of frames and mats from our spectacular collection.
