Frame conservator, frame historian, & master gilder William Adair began his career in frame conservation at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. This special exhibit features a collection of frames created by Art League students who have participated in Bill’s gold leaf workshops. Artists created their own artwork & then developed frame designs to complement and become extensions of the work.
