Art-A-Ron-Dack Chairs are here!

How can you make art a more relaxing part of your life?
The answer surely lies in the Art-A-Ron-Dack Chair.


After months of anticipation, The Framed Art Superstore in North Conway has received their Art-A-Ron-Dack Chairs from Dianne Mello and Sally Dinsmore.


The chairs are being auctioned off as part of a fundraiser with the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce.


Local artists have painted forty Adirondack chairs that are spread throughout town. Attached to each chair is a clip board for the silent auction.


Dianne Mello, continuing in the vintage style that has made her famous, has produced her very first Summer vintage scene.


Dianne's "People's Choice" winning chair features a couple lazily rowing along in their canoe in an image that captures the fun and relaxation that keeps visitors coming back to our valley.

Sally Dinsmore continues her tradition of capturing the true beauty of the valley with her waterfall, cascading over and down the chair and even onto the arms.

It's a scene that whisks your thoughts to the old swimming hole, enjoying pure Summer bliss (well, at least that's where it whisks my mind).

We are excited to have the chairs in our store. Since we decided to sponsor the program, we had been waiting with bated breath to see them. And they are gorgeous!

Now, we already have three bids in these chairs. They will be on display until Labor Day (Sept. 7th), when the bidding stops.

So be sure to stop by in our brand new location in North Conway Village (right next to the Sunoco station on the southern end of the village) and check them out in person.

But if you can't make it to town, you can also bid online by e-mailing to art-a-rondacks@mtwashingtonvalley.org or you can call Siiri Grubb at (603) 356-5701 ext. 312

Also, you can keep track of the bidding online as well. Go to The Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce website to make sure that you still have the high bid on your chair.

Be sure to get you bids in soon. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to not only own original, relaxing work of art, but art that you can relax on.

We hope to see you in the store and good luck in the auction!

The Framed Art Superstore is located at:
2548 White Mt. Highway
North Conway, NH 03860

What's the simplest and most contemporary way to frame art? No frame at all! The industry calls it a Gallery Wrap or a Museum Wrap. A Gallery Wrap has the image wrapped around the edges of the stretcher bars, and a Museum Wrap has white edges and the entire image is on the face of the stretched canvas. As you can see by the sample pictures here, this creates an even simpler and more contemporary art presentation than even the simplest black frame. Available at the Naked Wall Art Gallery as either a gallery wrap or a museum wrap, the canvases can still be framed in the future if styles and/or your tastes change or you decide you want a more traditional look. Be careful though, if you want the choice of future framing, not all galleries and web sites offer the right size stretcher bars for this option. The thickness of the sides makes all the difference. 3/4 inch thick stretcher bars allow for the option of framing, while the 1 1/2" think versions do not. Another issue to consider is the image itself - if the picture will hang where you cannot see the sides, then you may not want to loose any of the image to the sides - for some images this matters more than on other images. Confused? The easiest solution is to call 1 888 669 - 6167 and talk to the naked wall experts at the Framed Art Superstore - the folks behind the Naked Wall Art Gallery. There's also lots of details available at http://www.framedartoutlet.com/
