Inside Angles Custom Framing Gallery has provided custom framing and art resource services in Holland since 1989. The business started at Spring Meadows, moved to Holland Meadows in 1999, then to its current location in the Angola Plaza last March.

Currently located near the corner of Angola and McCord, behind the Shell Station, at 6831 Angola Road, Inside Angles specializes in design and craftsmanship.

Customers have the greatest variety in frame selection and framing techniques, offered by Inside Angle’s experienced custom framers.

Inside Angles is doing extraordinary work making shadowboxes for collections, awards and memorabilia. Their designers are especially great at updating out of style framed images so the customer enjoys looking at them again.

Inside Angle’s current owner, Sue Runkle, took the reins from the founding framer, Janice Dempster, in 2009. She has begun practices to support all levels of affordability, including offering replacement mats and custom cut mats for ready-made framed at deeply discounted prices. In addition, the store’s “Mats for Education” program offers support for students and educators and there are special deals for artists preparing for shows.

Customers looking for just that right image in their home can find a fountain of resources at Inside Angles Custom Framing Gallery. This month, the business will host a one-man show featuring local artist Neil Frankenhauser. A gallery opening event on Friday, November 18, will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The public is invited to join us!

At Inside Angles, ‘We frame anything; practically!”

Dj and live singing.

“I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t have to yell over the music.” ”I had a great time.” “I also didn’t know it was you singing.” Wilusz wedding

If you have employees and need a Human Resource function, let HR Systems help! For a fraction of the cost, HR Systems will customize our services to meet the needs of your organization. Services may be chosen individually or combined to provide a total outsourcing solution. Our programs allow the business owner to focus on what they do best…. generate revenue and grow their business.
