About

Four Corners Framed Art is a local frame shop and gallery that offers excellent custom framing services to the Kansas City metropolitan area. Behind the success of the shop however lies an interesting, beautiful, and inspiring story between two friends. We hope you read on, and come to understand that when you buy or choose to frame a treasured piece of artwork from us, you are also participating in a legacy of friendship and love.

Mutual Love for the Art

We are a family business run by owners, Joseph and Gia Crownover, with help from his good friend, Gregg Cuthbert. With a friendship that spanned over a decade, both men shared a mutual respect and zeal for the time-honored craft of custom framing. They held the belief that the benefits of custom framing should not be a skill only offered to artists or galleries, but to everyone.

How We Came to Be

The two men worked together in Durango, Colorado, in Cuthbert’s gallery and framed art shop, which was the original Four Corners Framed Art. Although our owner left Colorado for Kansas City to pursue other professions, the two friends still kept in touch. When Gregg Cuthbert passed away in March of this year, his parents contacted Joseph, asking him if he’d be interested in purchasing the frame shop and gallery. Not only did he agree to this, but he also decided to keep the name of the original Four Corners Framed Art to honor his friend.

Looking Forward to the Future

Along with his family, Joseph hopes to share their love of art with you and pass on this legacy to their children, Tyler, Libby, and Johnny, as well as all their patrons both present and future. They have worked hard to make their custom frame shop and art gallery come alive, and would be delighted if you help them shape and participate in the stories that come next.
