Staff help match frames, inner borders and glass to the artwork rather than treating every job the same.

The gallery hosts exhibitions, including shows of emerging artists and international artwork.
Several customers describe the framing as reasonably or competitively priced.
Check resolution. If printing photos for artwork, ask which images have enough resolution; one customer received advice on this before ordering.
Choose glass. Discuss the glass and inner border with the framer, especially for paintings where the finish matters.
Confirm dates. If visiting for an exhibition or sale, reconfirm the dates first because one visitor found the event had ended early.
Confirm installation. For delivery, confirm the correct frame and that hanging tools and installation are included before the appointment.
Ask about parking. The gallery has been described as easy to access from the main road, with parking mentioned in a customer review.

Custom framing is repeatedly mentioned, including a frame made as a gift and frames selected to complement paintings.
High-quality prints are mentioned alongside the gallery’s frames and artwork.

The Bottom Line
Picasso Gallery combines an art gallery with a framing shop in Al Quoz. You can frame paintings, posters and photographs, print and frame an old image, or have a canvas stretched onto a frame. Customers particularly value the help with choosing a frame, inner border and glass, including museum glass for a print.
The gallery is also worth considering if you want to browse rather than arrive with a finished project. Reviews mention exhibitions every two to three weeks, with emerging artists and work from different nationalities. One visitor described the atmosphere as pleasant and the artwork as well displayed, while another liked its Al Quoz setting near Alserkal Avenue.
A review also mentions easy access from the main road and parking. Most framing feedback is positive, with comments on detail, speed, fair pricing and friendly service. Still, the negative experiences are serious: one customer reported artwork damaged beyond repair, and another described a wrong frame, confused deliveries and unfinished installation.
For valuable or time-sensitive pieces, confirm the frame specification, delivery contents and hanging arrangements before handing anything over. If you are going for an exhibition or sale, reconfirm the dates; one visitor was told an event would run later than it actually did.
