Picture framing for Westlake, Austin and Lakeway since 1999.

 FASTFRAME, the local custom picture framing store, is hosting its annual Art Contest for Kids. Carol Meyer, owner of FastFrame  & The Westlake Gallery in the Village Shopping center, will be encouraging children, grades 1 through 5, to create a piece of art based on the theme: “My Favorite Fairy Tale”.  Beginning on March 29^th and continuing until May 7^th, they will be accepting artwork in to the store for the contest. A first place will be chosen from among the entries brought in, and it will be framed for free, courtesy of  Carol and donated framing materials from Nielsen Bainbridge. The first place winner is sent off to the Fastframe corporate office in Newbury Park, California, to be judged in the national contest.  The national winning artist will receive a $250 Disney gift card, with an additional $250 gift card going to his or her school for art supplies. In addition, the national winning piece will be displayed on the home page of the corporate website for the month of June 2011.

A local young artist from the Eanes school district won the 2009 competition.
