The Elsinore Framing & Fine Art Gallery is located in the heart of the Willamette Valley in Salem, Oregon. The owners, Steve & Barb Narkaus, have been in the Art and Framing business for over 25 years.

Starting out in a small mall location in 1986, their business grew to include two locations: Candalaria Gallery in South Salem and Creekside Gallery in Keizer.  In 1996, the galleries were consolidated and moved to downtown Salem, next to the historic Elsinore Theater, from which the current gallery gets it's name.  The gallery remained at that location for 12 years.

The new gallery opened in November of 2007 after 12 years in their previous location. The new store features 4,000 square feet of display and framing space with:

• A new, expanded design center
