There is a two step processes when purchasing framed artwork for your space from 1-800Artwork.com.

1. Selecting dynamic framed artwork with a moulding that complements your interior.

2. Hanging your framed artwork. 

The framed artwork we send to you may look really awesome, but the hanging of the artwork is an important part as well. We don't leave you hanging to figure out how to get the artwork on to the wall, rather we give you instructions to hang your artwork professionally. All 1-800Artwork.com customers receive hanging kits & instructions with their purchase. Below you can find our recommendations to hang your artwork easily & professionally.

Hanging Guidelines

-Distance from floor- 

Position center of artwork 60" from the floor, (see figure 1). This creates a consistent line of focus when hanging artwork of various sizes and dimensions. This measurement is a general guideline and can be adjusted as desired. For example: Artwork in a seating area can be hung a couple of inches lower than the 60" guideline to provide a more comfortable line of view for seated individuals.

  An Interview with Felice M. Davis

Managing Director | 1800ARTWORK.com

Felice Davis has over twenty-one years of experience in executing roles at The Goltz Group companies (Chicago Art Source, Artists’ Frame Service and Jayson Home). Though initially hired as an intern for a gallery assistant position, she quickly learned both the art and framing business at a point in time where the companies were experiencing rapid growth and was hired to a permanent position. Ms. Davis has earned a BS in Business Administration with a concentration in Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship. Felice has had the unique perspective of working with the various divisions of The Goltz Group companies and she has been the managing director of Chicago Art Source and 1-800ARTWORK.com for five years.

  Q: How is 1-800ARTWORK.com different from its competitors?

A: 1-800ARTWORK.com curates their offerings specifically for its business clients. You don't have to sift through millions of images and you know that what's on the site is workplace appropriate.

Our team works together to give our customers a great experience, both on the website and beyond. We come up with solutions for small, medium and large businesses all across the country. Not many internet companies in our industry are able to be so flexible. Some of our customers have multiple branches that they want to create a personalized art program for. We can help with that. Some customers need to pay by check instead of a credit card. That's no problem for us. If our customer is not comfortable picking out pieces for their office, our team is happy to curate the space with them. We are able to rush orders or rush shipping or both, depending on the need of the customer. 1-800ARTWORK.com is easy to work with and you will be thrilled with our product.  

  Q: What is your role at the company?

A: We are part of a group of companies called The Goltz Group. I am the managing director of the art division, which includes 1-800ARTWORK.com and Chicago Art Source (its art gallery and outside sales team). We have a collaborative approach to 1-800ARTWORK.com so many of us do multiple things, which include working with customers over the phone, helping to source new artwork, and dealing with things behind the seen ~ including marketing and back-end opportunities.

  Q: What do you enjoy most about your job?

A: I enjoy working with so many aspects of the business everyday. None of us has just one job so each day is so different than the one before. I have been with the company for over 21 years and the scope of what I do has changed over time, but every day is an adventure! 

  Q:  What is your favorite framed piece of art or series that we offer?

A: There is a floral x-ray series by McMillan that I really like because they are so delicate and can work almost anywhere: American Elm, Japanese Iris, Red Bud and Daylily. But as the mother of three, I secretly love Golden's "PLAY NICE" and "KEEP IT DOWN" set; I want to hang them in the hallway between my kids' bedrooms!
