An art assembly for use in a frame, comprising:
- an artwork sheet;
- and
- a structural liner comprising a paper material including a main body and a plurality of folded side walls sized and dimensioned to correlate to the artwork sheet, the artwork sheet being coupled to the structural liner, wherein the structural liner provides a support structure for the artwork sheet enabling insertion of the artwork sheet into a frame.
An art frame assembly comprising:
- an outer frame including a central opening;
- and
- an inner artwork subassembly disposed within the central opening of the outer frame and including an artwork sheet folded together with a structural liner formed from a blank to define a support structure for insertion into the outer frame.
A method for assembling an art frame assembly comprising an outer frame including a central opening and an inner artwork subassembly including a artwork sheet and a structural liner comprising a blank including a central main body and a plurality of side walls foldable into a box-like structure, the method comprising the steps of;
- coupling the artwork sheet to at least one of the plurality of side walls of the structural liner;
- folding the plurality of side walls of the structural liner away from a front surface of the structural liner towards a back surface of the structural liner to form a support structure for the artwork sheet around the main body;
- and
- inserting the inner artwork subassembly into the central opening of the outer frame.
