Creative Encounters, for 25 years in downtown Keene, has set the bar for custom framing and regional art. Our friendly and knowledgeable design staff work with your schedule, your budget, and your style, guiding you through each step of the design process. With over 60 years combined experience, the staff at Creative Encounters can frame virtually anything. We inspect and check every detail before and during the framing process. Our experts work with every type of mounting using state of the art equipment, and we ensure the best possible care and handling to achieve perfect results.

	•  Voted Best Frame Shop in the Area •  All Framing Done on Premises •  Award Winning Shadowbox Design in Two National Competitions •  Best Archival Materials and Techniques Used •  Voted Best of New Hampshire Regional Print

Creative Encounters offers the largest selection of regional art prints and photographs - historic and contemporary. Our Visit Keene print depicts the historic Cheshire train crossing the drystone arch bridge in South Keene, and Mount Monadnock in the distance. It won New Hampshire Magazine’s 2009 Best of NH award for local print. In conjunction with Cheshire Historical Society, Creative Encounters is proud to offer the widest variety of historic prints of the region. And as authorized dealers of acclaimed artist Edward Gordon, the gallery carries his limited edition Giclée prints.
