What is Canvas Framing

Canvas framing is the art of framing stretched canvases or canvas prints, elevating them into impactful displays. Popular among artists and photographers, this process enhances appearance, provides protection, and enables versatile display options in various settings, marrying aesthetic appeal with practicality.
