Gallery with a vision

LOCATED in the heart of Ocean Grove, Framed Gallery is a space where artistic creations meet thoughtful curation.

Founded and directed by artist Fred Thompson, the gallery is both a home to his own work and a platform for selected artists both local and nationally.

Framed Gallery is committed to excellence, sourcing only the finest pieces that reflect a deep engagement with artistic craftsmanship. Every work exhibited is chosen not just for its aesthetic quality but for the story it tells, the mastery behind its creation, and its ability to connect with its audience.

More than just a gallery, it’s a destination for collectors, interior designers, and art enthusiasts seeking distinctive, highly curated pieces.

Framed Gallery takes pride in offering a carefully selected range of contemporary artworks and artisanal objects complemented by expert services, including bespoke commissions, art leasing, and custom framing.

Framing services include:

Art lessons and workshops

Unleash your creativity in a space where expertise meets inspiration. Formerly known as ‘Drips and Sips’, the Masters Studio at Framed Gallery offers the perfect blend of fun and learning, giving you the freedom to refine your artistic practice while being guided by Fred Thompson.

Whether you’re just starting out or already a seasoned artist, Framed Gallery’s small-group workshops (minimum four participants) provide hands-on instruction in technique, composition and creative expression in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
