A. George Hamamjian 1972
The Framer
Ara Hamamjian is the proud owner of River Gallery. Ara's parents founded the gallery in 1970, and Ara grew up enveloped in his parents' love for the arts and their legendary dedication to their custom picture framing workshop. After receiving a degree from The Ohio State University, Ara enrolled himself in The Framing Academy of San Francisco in 1989 to professionally augment his already extensive knowledge about picture framing. Having considered it a second home already, Ara purchased River Gallery from his parents in 1994. 2019 marked Ara's 25th anniversary at the helm of the gallery and 30 year anniversary of being a professional framer.
