We are thrilled to be in conversation with Verge Frames founders Shashi Caudill and Dann Witczak to discuss the founding of Verge Frames, framing with care, and their perspective on framing as an archiving and presentation practice.

We invite guests to bring an artwork of their own (small/medium suggested) to Tala to meet with framing designers Eric Saudi and Laura Muรฑoz. Following the talk, participants will have hands-on time with Vergeโs framing samples and the chance to talk through questions and solutions for projects they are currently working on or gain inspiration for projects they are not quite sure how to start. Designed to de-mystify the framing world and invite expression into the archiving process, this informal workshop will be a welcoming way for artists and collectors to learn how to elevate and preserve their work.
