Update: Thankfully our workshop and inventory are all safe from the flood waters. Unfortunately many of our our family, friends, and local business neighbors have seen devastating damages. Forgive us if we haven't been active in returning your emails, messages, and phone calls. We will continue to help those around us in need before getting back into the shop and working on orders. If you need any framing done, reach out to Park Place Arts. They could use some love!

📣 A look comparison of Anderson from March of 1913 and August of 2026! Two years, two catastrophic floods! The August, 2026 flood is now the highest crest on the White river ever recorded in Anderson beating the flood of 1913.

-March of 1913 max crest was 23.60ft
-August of 2026 max crest was 24.93ft

Our hearts and prayers go out to those affected by this natural disaster. We know the road to recovery will not be a fast one, but through a process of many months or longer. We hope that everyone affected and even those not directly affected will come together to help fellow neighbors and fellow Hoosiers!
