Where to buy frames for art? There are lots of stores that sell frames. You can check well known stores or look for a local framing store in your area. You can experiment by seeing what frame will work best by looking for frames at garage sales or thrift stores.
You can buy frames for art pretty much anywhere. It all depends on your budget. You can consider getting frames with glass or plexiglass. Glass is better quality and tends not to scratch and lasts longer but a lot of plexiglass is made to look like glass.
When getting art framed it is good to get a UV protection added into the glass to prevent the artwork from fading over time especially if you are framing original artwork.
Other Considerations for Buying Frames
What other art/photographs are you framing and do you want the frames to match?
What size of frames do you want?
Do you need matting for around the artwork or photograph?
Do you want wooden frames or plastic?
Glass or plexiglass?

Where will you hang the art and will the frames be close together like on a gallery wall?
