Damico Fine Art Frames Community

Local Small Business of the Week Header

Michael Damico has known since grade school that his calling in life would mix art and entrepreneurship.

The owner of Damico Frame and Art Gallery, at 112A East Fowlkes Street in downtown Franklin, has made a dream come true for himself, while also creating a unique high-end service for local customers.

“I am an artist, and have been all my life,” Damico said. “I have also always kind of been athis chronic entrepreneur. Even as a kid I would find a way to drum up cash, buying and selling bikes, and things like that.”
With his shop, which he initially opened in Florida in 2006 and then moved to Franklin in 2010, he found an outlet for both.

Damico offers a wide range of services, from custom printing and framing to repair to installation. He also paints potraits, accepting a few select commissions per year.

“I really care about what I do,” he said. “It matters to me. If a customer is going to want to work together with me they know they are working with a person who is chasing quality rather than a dollar. And that is very true. My stock in trade is making quality work.”

To view examples of his framing and painting, his website and instagram account (@damicofineart) are filled with prime examples.

Potential customers can also call him at 615-815-6015.

Damico opened shop in 2006 after an apprenticeship in Fort Meyers,  Fla., at a mentor’s shop.

He chose Franklin, in 2010, for its sense of community, and in part because he grew up in Middle Tennessee.

“The familiarity stood out,” he said. “And, two, as researching through the country at various outlets like chamber websites and actually visiting places, I just kept raising my eyebrow at all the benefits of being in Franklin. So I said all right.”
