About The Modern Frame

Discover our story, mission, and the artists who make our gallery a vibrant hub of contemporary art.

Our Story

Founded in 2010, The Modern Frame began as a small passion project by art enthusiasts Sarah and Michael Chen. What started as a modest space in downtown has grown into one of the city's most respected contemporary art galleries.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between emerging artists and art lovers, creating a space where creativity flourishes and new voices are heard. We believe that art should be accessible to everyone, and we work tirelessly to make contemporary art approachable and engaging.

Over the years, we've hosted over 200 exhibitions, featuring works from more than 500 artists from around the world. Our gallery has become a cultural hub, hosting regular events, artist talks, and educational programs for the community.

"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." - Edgar Degas

This quote embodies our philosophy at The Modern Frame. We don't just display art; we create experiences that inspire, challenge, and transform our visitors' perspectives on contemporary culture.
