PICTURE FRAMER

Art Images Gallery is currently celebrating its 40 the year as an art gallery and Picture Framer in Adelaide and we need an experienced framer.

The business is diverse with a healthy contemporary perspective. The majority of the business revolves around the exhibiting of fine art however a considerable amount goes through the workshop.

It may be best to describe there is a mixture of semi production and custom work. The majority of our work is with production mouldings, with minimal painting and staining or use of top end mouldings.

There is potential to develop the range but as a rule our selection is limited. Custom framing is still an important aspect of the business.

The position has become available due to a retirement, leaving the business with a shortage of experience. There is currently another full time framer and casual working  employed.

While the successful candidate may not be thinking about relocation it is conceivable a two year arrangement could be an option.
