The Art Centre Limited is conveniently located in Kingston (across from UTECH) and encompasses the idea of "from conceptualisation to the actualisation of art", as it includes the Art Centre with Art Supplies, the Frame Shop for all your framing needs and the Olympia Gallery with an expansive display of Jamaican art.

The Art Centre carries a complete range of high quality art supplies, architectural drawing supplies, ceramic, craft tools and materials in both the student & professional line. As artists strive to use the best materials available in producing their work for longevity, they are able to find everything they might need in the expansive collection carried.

After the work is completed, the Frame Shop is available to frame anything you wish with ready-made frames and custom work also available to fit any size. With the largest selection of frames available in Jamaica, pieces are elegantly "dressed" to highlight their natural beauty and complement it as an accesso ry with options of coloured matting, linen and fillet liners. Acid free material is also available to preserve the investment value of the work and promote longevity.

The Olympia Gallery includes the largest private exhibition space on the island, with expansive walls ideal for displaying large works of art. Art featured for sale is primarily Jamaican, and is used as a medium to promote local culture. It also offers a wide selection of Jamaican art available in all mediums – paintings, prints, ceramic, wood carvings, hand painted crafts and more. The Olympia Gallery is also host to several exhibitions and is an opportunity to introduce emerging talent and new works by established artists.
