100 frames for $1000 would be dirt cheap, that's only $10 a frame including mat and backing. For decent framing I'd think you'd be looking at over $5000 to frame 100 images.
Mpix sells framed 11x14's with a 2 inch mat at $42 and up (no glass). But you'll be doing your own printing so you'd have to find a frame shop or buy frames and mount the prints yourself. That's a lot of work to frame 100 prints.
How long till the show?
I would seek counsel from the Community Art Association on what their expectations are too.

Thanks for the response. My show will be in September. Yes, I realize the framing of 100 prints was over $5,000. In writing, I hit the 1 instead of the 5. I spoke with the Asssociation and the number of prints to show is up to me. The building is large and would easily show 100 prints. I may get by with 50 though.
