About Us
45º is an art gallery offering a thoughtfully curated collection of fine art and custom framing that complements styles from traditional to modern. Our collection showcases paintings, jewelry, pottery, furniture, and sculptures by over 30 talented Colorado artisans. Our diverse frame selection includes mouldings you won’t find anywhere else in Colorado Springs, making every framing project as unique as the art it surrounds.
Reed and Emily Fair founded 45º in 2010 with a passion for creating a welcoming space to discover fine art and custom framing. Whether you’re stopping by for inspiration, to browse one-of-a-kind gifts, or to expand your collection, you’ll feel right at home in this family-run gallery. Don’t be surprised if Moose, our friendly shop dog, or their daughter Hazel are there to greet you—they’re as much a part of the gallery as the art itself.
Our reputation is built on innovative design, expert craftsmanship, and exceptional customer service. From free local delivery to personalized installation solutions, we make your art-buying and framing experience seamless and enjoyable.
