A new canvas wall art and fine art picture framing shop is opening in Newry this weekend.
Owned by local business man Ryan Meehan, Meeko Print will be holding their opening day this Saturday 15 October from 9am-1pm showcasing local artists and photographers along with some of their best-selling items.
There will be a coffee tuk-tuk selling coffee and traybakes and a photographer offering people and families portraits that they can print onto canvas or pictures on the day.
Meeko Print was founded in March 2019 and initially started out as an e-commerce business selling premium canvas prints that were printed and manufactured from a small warehouse in Newry which were sold across Ireland and UK. Over the years the business has expanded and now sells and dispatches to over 20 different countries including Europe, America, Australia and the Middle East.
After expanding into these markets, it was time for Meeko Print to move to a larger premises and this is when they moved to 31 Tandragee Road in November 2020. Once in the new premises Meeko Print expanded its product range to include canvas floating frames and fine art prints and frames. This took off straight away and allowed Ryan’s business to grow from the original team of 2 full time employees to 10 full time employees over the last 2 years.
It was always Ryan's intention to open a store in Newry, where people could shop for prints available online but also to see and feel the quality in the craftsmanship from the team. He seen the advantages of creating a hub where local artists and photographers could work with Meeko Print to benefit from the markets they have expanded in to.
Today the services Meeko Print offer are canvas prints, fine art, local artwork from artists and photographers in Ireland, an extensive range of frames and also custom picture/canvas printing and framing.
Meeko Print can be found at 31 Tandragee Road Newry BT356QE and also online at www.meekoprint.com
