Why we LOVE this product!
We love the idea of treating children's art like real art, and a framed mosaic does exactly that. Instead of a single drawing on the fridge, you get a whole season or school year of work arranged in a clean gallery frame that looks at home in any room.
Kids notice when their work is displayed with care, and it's a quiet but powerful message that their creativity matters.
Two things to weigh: the long turnaround means you need to plan ahead, and the price adds up once you include the Artkive Box. If you want a meaningful piece for the wall, it's well worth the wait.
Description
SKU:
ARTKIVE-FRAMED-MOSAIC
An Artkive Framed Mosaic turns 9 or 25 pieces of your child's artwork into a single print, matted and set in a white solid wood gallery frame. Artkive photographs the art you send in their box, designs the layout and sends a proof for your approval.
What you get
- Small: 14 x 14 inch frame with a 12 x 12 inch print showing 9 pieces of art, $149 ($99 when bundled with an Art Book)
- Large: 26 x 26 inch frame with a 24 x 24 inch print showing 25 pieces, $249 ($189 when bundled with an Art Book)
- A white solid wood frame with professional white matting, and your child's name printed in the corner if you'd like
- Professional photography and editing, a digital proof, and three months of free digital access
How it works
Order an Artkive Box ($39), fill it with art and send it back with the prepaid label. Artkive photographs each piece, invoices you for the pieces and products, and designs the mosaic. Expect about 4 to 5 weeks to receive your proof, then 1 to 2 weeks to print, frame and ship after you approve it.
What kids get out of it
- Pride in their work: their art on the wall like a real gallery piece
- A sense of their own growth: a year or more of art side by side
Good to know before you buy
- Total cost: add the $39 Artkive Box to the frame price, plus $20 if you want your art returned.
- One look: the frame and mat only come in white.
- Lead time: with shipping, photography and the 4 to 5 week proof window, this isn't a last-minute gift. For the holidays, start in early fall.
- Deadlines: the box is due back within 6 months, or a $75 deposit is charged.
Who it's for
Parents who want kids' art on display without a wall of curling paper, grandparents, and families marking a milestone like the end of a school year.

About
ARTKIVE
Jedd Gold and Jeff Lipp are more than co-founders. They're also cousins. And they're fellow dads who share a passion for innovation, quality, and community.
Jedd and Jeff grew up on the East Coast and found themselves both living in Los Angeles pursuing entrepreneurial endeavors. With complementary skill sets and a similar problem — what to do with all that art that was piling up inside their homes — they came together to find a solution.
