The Canadian business KeenART Media will be celebrating its 20th anniversary next year. From its start as a retail store in 2002, the family-run business evolved with their services. It now offers a wide range of fine art print and custom framing services to customers all over Canada and the US.
With the company's years of expertise, we guarantee the highest quality of art products. We offer a wide selection of custom frames for all your art making and wall display needs. They all vary in color, textures, finishes, material and depths.
One of our most popular types of picture frames is the canvas floater frame. This suits canvas or thicker artworks that have visual elements close to the canvas edge. As the artwork sits on the inside lip of the floater frame, one can adjust the gap width between the art and frame. This gap will create a “floating” effect around the artwork.
Our biggest collection of frame mouldings are the classic frames. Whether one is looking for a modern looking or ornate frame, we offer an option that best suits a variety of needs. For an extra layer that complements a wood frame, one can add a linen liner around their paintings. These serve the same purpose as a matboard, separating the artwork from its frame.
Acrylic, mat and other framing boards
Our talented in-house framers can create supporting pieces for one's specific framing needs. We custom make plexiglass or acrylic sheets, museum quality matboards, and backing boards. They also come in various colors, textures, and widths to cater to different visual art styles.
Canvas and wood panels
The framing services offered are not limited to picture frames. In recent years we have started offering non-standard sizes of canvas and wood panels. The canvases have primed/unprimed fabric and heavy duty stretcher frames with depths from 7/16" to 3". The cradled wood panels have a Baltic birch front panel and a basswood cradle with depths from 1/2" to 5". Our talented framers can create a panel to any requested size.
Framing guides and resources
Aside from providing services, we also take the time to help and educate our customers. Whether one is a DIY-er or a fine artist, we provide online guides for customers to learn more about what they buy. How-to articles, art tips and videos are available for anyone who checks out our website.
Some Interesting Resources to check out:

Our online guides often mention different picture framing tools used while framing. To make customers' shopping experience easier, we also offer these products to buy. Some hardware we offer include clips, artwork spacers, wires, hooks, cleats, buttons and bumpers. Because these may be unfamiliar to the average person, our team is always available to answer any concerns online or over the phone.
While the majority of the business's services include custom framing, we also offer a small collection of ready-made frames. Among these we have options such as (jersey) shadow boxes, bulletin boards, snap, and oval frames. Because these frames have limited artwork sizes and styles, our team would suggest a custom frame to have more options.
The business has grown a lot since 2002 but this does not mean the growth should go stagnant now. KeenART Media aims to remain up to date with the current trends in the art and home décor industry, to evolve with our customer's needs. We hope you can join us in celebrating 20 years of creating unique, long lasting pieces of art that people will cherish for decades.
