Category:  2015 Success Stories

After a year of hands on training in the framing industry, Allison Kalpin and her husband, Dustin, purchased an existing Gillette business, Wyoming Art & Frame.

They took the reins in February 2015 and the business has exceeded their wildest dreams. “Upholding a reputation of quality custom framing for over 30 years, Wyoming Art & Frame is dedicated to providing state of the art design, friendly customer service, cutting edge technology and equipment,” Kalpin says. “Our philosophy is simple: we help you create an aesthetically pleasing design that will accent and preserve your treasured items.” The gallery stays current with accepted preservation practices according to the Library of Congress and continuous education. Kalpin worked with Susan Jerke and Leonard Holler, regional directors of the Wyoming Entrepreneur SBDC and Market Research Center. It was funded with personal investment and a commercial loan from a local lender.
