Way Up Art & Frame was Established in 1968

  Way Up Art & Frame was established in 1968 by Mrs.Jean Hawley a local artist, it was located in the old theater mall on 2222 second street in downtown Livermore. Mrs. Hawley had a very small inventory of art supplies just enough to take care of friends and family who were artists. As the art community grew so did the demand for art supplies. After 7 years she moved the store to 1000 first street where Doms building is now. The new location was still not enough for those interested in art which caused another move in 1989 to 1923 2nd street. In March 2002, after 34 years in business she decided to retire and sell the business. After reviewing those interested she decided to sell the business to Shakeeb Rashidi. 

    Hi my name is Shakeeb Rashidi and I am honored to have been given the opportunity by Mrs. Hawley to take over as the new ownership of Way Up Art & Frame. I felt as though it was not necessary for me to change anything Mrs. Hawley had established over the years, instead expand and reorganize the business. In summer of 2007 we move for Way Up Art & Frame to it’s new location 1912 second street in Livermore. We are happy to be here at our new location and to serve the Tri-Valley in all their art and framing needs. We have a great team and we hope to see you soon!
