New Rochester Sign
This was a significant milestone for us. We upgraded our building sign to leverage our prime location on one of the busiest streets in downtown Rochester, Minnesota. Rochester Framing & Fine Art Printing is located at 400 Broadway Avenue South, Rochester, MN. Our neighboring businesses include Limb Lab, Cambria, and Winona State University - Rochester.
Pittsburgh Blue Steakhouse
The Pittsburgh Blue Steakhouse - Rochester project was an incredibly enjoyable undertaking. These large-format images are from Kodachrome film captured in the 1940s. The people featured are genuine, and the photos were candidly taken at their job locations. We scanned the slides, corrected the images, printed, mounted and framed the images.
Long days and late nights
We knew this was going to be a challenging year. And the biggest challenge is getting everything done.
There are have been many late nights at both the Rochester and Red Wing locations. This won't change any time soon.
Thank you for your patience. It isn't the destination, it is the journey.
No inflatable gorillas
Rochester Framing & Fine Art Printing is Officially Open for Business
Rochester Framing & Fine Art Printing is officially open for business. We are taking in new orders and have already begun delivering completed ones.
We are quietly sliding into opening the business. No inflatable gorillas, balloons, or hot dogs for the kids this time. We'll figure something out later.
This is just a consequence of time. It took longer than planned to build out the new space, and several significant projects are in the shop with tight deadlines.
And then there was this little matter of qualifying for and passing the Master Certified Picture Framer (MCPF) examination, becoming the first MCPF in Minnesota. That was a big deal for us, and we will have an announcement soon.
Delinquent
Sorry for the very slow updates to this blog.
But judging by the complete lack of complaints, it probably doesn't matter.
We announced on April 1st that we are adding a second location in Rochester, Minnesota.
400 South Broadway, Rochester, MN 55904 to be exact.
507-280-4949.
This will be a custom build out situation and it will showcase some of the more interesting projects we have worked on and some of the projects that we are most proud of. It should be pretty cool.
This new business will be called Rochester Framing & Fine Art Printing.
Early June is the target open.
That is all.
