Art Images Gallery, established in Norwood in ****, is a thriving contemporary art gallery with a busy custom framing workshop.
We're a diverse, creative business working at the forefront of a dynamic industry, and we are seeking a careful, considered and creative individual to join our team.

Stretching canvases
Cutting mouldings, mountboard, glass and backing materials
