Coffee with FRANK - Photographing Artwork
2025-05-03 10:00 - 11:00
Budget-friendly ways to photograph your artby R. Scott HornerFree | Coffee & Donuts Provided

The painting is finished, but now you have to post it to Instagram and your website, or maybe send it off to be jurried, or maybe you need to document your collection. So you have to take a photo.

Of course, the best way to document your work is to hire a photographer with the right equipment – cameras, lenses, lighting etc. But for many of us, we don’t have the resources to do that. In this coffee talk, painter R. Scott Horner will cover budget-friendly ways you can photograph your artwork.

After years of trying to get good photos of his work, Scott has developed a method that is mostly color correct, well lit, and high resolution. Scott will show you how to use your cell phone and free software to get the job done. He will talk mostly about photographing paintings, but will also share tips on photographing three-dimentional artwork.

Join us for our monthly Coffee with FRANK series that invites you to slow down, sip a warm cup of coffee, and engage with the creative community at FRANK Gallery!

Whether you’re a longtime collector, a fellow artist, or someone simply curious about the creative process, Coffee with FRANK provides a welcoming space to explore ideas, build community, and spark meaningful conversations. Surrounded by contemporary art and energized by local voices, these events are designed to foster connection, inspiration, and a deeper appreciation for the arts in our daily lives.

As a mixed media artist she explores painting, drawing and printmaking, developing an experimental and expressive graphic style.

She is particularly passionate about drawing and line and finds great fulfillment in sharing her passion as a teacher. She is dedicated to finding creative ways to enable others to tap into their own unique visual marks, and find joy in the process of drawing and discovering the expressive potential of line.

Off the Wall Gala 2025
2025-10-18 18:00 - 21:00
FRANK’s signature fundraising event is well-known for its excitement, spectacular selection of art, and community roots. Join us at 6 pm on October 18 for our 15th Gala supporting FRANK Gallery’s mission to enrich our community through art.

Attend in-gallery or from home

The Gala will be held in the gallery as well as broadcast live via Zoom for attendees who want to enjoy art and a tasty cheese box in the comfort of their home. For guests attending in person, a full bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres and light snacks will be provided.

How does it work?

With the purchase of an Art Ticket, your name is entered into a pool with other art ticket holders. During the gala, the names of art ticket holders will be drawn at random (this is the fun part!) and read out loud by our emcee, local radio personality, Aaron Keck. Once called, you’ll have one minute to choose your favorite piece of art “off the wall” to take home. It gets exciting as you never know what piece will go next! This event will be hybrid, meaning we’ll offer a limited amount of in-person art and companion tickets, and some online virtual tickets! In-person guests will enjoy delicious food and an open bar. Online guests have the same chance to select art off the wall, but from the comfort of their home.

There will be plenty of donated art (from our generous artists!) all valued at more than the price of a ticket! We invite you to see all the artwork ahead time in two ways, in-gallery or online. Visit the gallery the week before the Gala to see all the donated art hanging. Also, preview the works here as they are donated.
