Family Legacy of Fine Art and Custom Framing Excellence

From the very beginning in 1978, Sue Broadway, founder of Extra Touch of Class and Broadway Gallery, built her business on quality and service. In a cramped basement room of her townhome, Sue armed herself with a miter box, hand-held matting tool, hammer, glue, and nails to support her picture-framing ambition. Due to her creative approach to framing, prompt, courteous service, and unbridled enthusiasm for the art world, the business grew from a small shop into a reputable art and framing company serving the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. She soon relocated to its present Alexandria headquarters, where a modern, fully equipped production and warehouse facility was established.

Expanding Into Fine Art

In the years to follow, Broadway Gallery also became a major fine art source, exhibiting a variety of paintings, original graphics, mixed media, sculptures, and ceramics by local, national, and international artists. The goal was to provide customers with a diverse selection of investment and decorative artwork ranging from traditional to contemporary while showcasing its distinctive framing. Art delivery, installation, restoration, and appraisal were also added to the gallery services to meet the requirements of retail, corporate, and design clientele.

A Family Legacy Continues

In 1995, Sue retired from the business and passed the torch to her son, Barry Broadway, and her daughter, Caron Broadway Moody. Barry currently serves as President & CEO, while Caron serves as Vice President. Both having been raised in the business, along with their education, Barry earning a business degree from George Mason University and Caron earning a fine arts degree from Pratt Institute, made them a perfect pair to take over. Through economic ups and downs, Broadway Gallery has stayed the course and, in 2014, opened its newest location in Great Falls, Virginia. In February 2025, Barry’s two daughters, Carly and Julie Broadway, joined the family business after several years of working in corporate America. Together they are proud to carry the legacy onto its third generation. Both Carly and Julie play an active role in providing top-notch services to retail and corporate clients, alongside their fabulous team!

Broadway Gallery has been my sole framer for several years now and I can’t ask for better. The owners and staff are always extremely welcoming and friendly. I’ve always been completely satisfied with everything Broadway’s framed and receive compliments from friends and family on their craftsmanship. Broadway always works closely with my vision and patiently suggests several framing options from their large variety of framing material to assure my complete satisfaction. It’s truly a collaborative effort! I greatly enjoy knowing and doing business with Caron and Barry Broadway and their entire staff!

Frank Zweig

Broadway Gallery framed large photographs of my company's wood shop. I let them pick out the frame and matting and when I picked them up I was in awe at how good it looked! The thick walnut frame and wide mat really enhances the photo and gets my customer asking more and more questions about our shop. Their prices are the same as Michael's even with a coupon. I am very happy with their service and recommend them to anyone.

Julianne Yurek

Simply the best company in the area for all things art, they have framed every piece of art in my home. Their prices are absolutely reasonable, and their attention to detail is incredible.

David Jorgenson

I had a picture framed for a Client and sent to BG and it was a success. Barry and his team are the best. His featured artists are talented as well. I highly recommend Broadway Galleries!

Paul B. Donova

Broadway has done many restorations of art and frames for my clients, as well as hanging my own art and mirrors. The mirror I had is old, gilded and had many deep carvings on the edge with some that had come off, but I had kept. It was restored beautifully, and I had Donald hang it for me as there is NO way to rest this mirror on the floor.
