the funky aesthetic
Collector Energy. Beginner Budget.
Just a funky little art shop.
What We Offer
-
We collect vintage & landfill-bound gallery frames and restore them to gallery standards by hand in our Hudson Valley Studio.
We match each frame to a thoughtfully chosen, museum-sourced cold-press art print, and professionally finish each piece, so your art arrives ready-to-hang.
Don’t need the frame? Unframed art prints are also available in multiple sizes.
-
Our artwork is sourced by hand from various open-access, CC0/public-domain museum collections.
This means that each available print in our collection is a historic piece that museums have made freely available for anyone to use.
Public domain: the artwork isn’t under copyright anymore. Anyone can use, share, or print it—no permission needed.
CC0: a “no-rights-reserved” license. The museum/rights holder has waived copyright, so you can use it freely, too.
Open-access museum collections: museums that put high-resolution images online specifically for free reuse.
These resources are free to you as well! Our value is the curation, image prep, printing, and our hand-restored frames and professional finishing. We do the digging and quality control: find the best quality images, clean and color-correct each one, print on cold-press fine art paper, and professionally frame each piece so it arrives beautiful & ready to hang.

We’d love to meet you at the Brooklyn Flea! You can find our booth right outside the Manhattan Bridge archway under the burgundy tent. Along with hand-framed artwork, our offerings at the Flea also include vintage home decor & vintage clothing (the good stuff).
Every purchase is wrapped & packaged safely, ensuring discretion for safety on public transport. We accept cash, Venmo, Zelle, and Apple Pay.
You can find us under the Manhattan Bridge on select Saturdays from 10am-5pm. We post our upcoming flea market dates on our Instagram! (Fun fact: We really don’t like packing up the truck at the end of the day, so we try to offload everything as affordably as possible. Save my back!)
-
We offer nationwide shipping via UPS, USPS and Fedex; local pickup is also available 7 days a week in New City, NY. Pickup is also available on select dates at the Brooklyn Flea in DUMBO, NY. Reach us at thefunkyaesthetic@gmail.com
