1502 Home Ave, Berwyn“I love this little boutique store filled with local art in all types of mediums. Great gift ideas and some fantastic Chicago specific decor finds. Great store in my favorite neighborhood in the city.”
“What a creative and friendly space. I dropped off my coffin Art piece for the 10th Annual Beautiful Souls show. Had a lovely conversation with Executive Director Teresa. I can't wait for the opening, Oct 13th, to meet the other artists. I highly recommend stopping by!”
“I’ve never been to 345 art gallery… A good friend of mine Amanie had her Poetry And Paint sessions here!..when I say “THE ART OF IT ALL!!! The creativeness I saw in person! It was amazing & so were the people ?! You have to visit this establishment!!!!.. ???✨✨?️”
10AM - 6PM
2780 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago“Great place to find unique collectible figures. Their online shop is awesome as well. A little overpriced, but I'd still shop here again though, because it's the only place that sells "Pucky Babies"?”
“It's a cool space and concept with lots of small artists and makers under one permanent roof. It's kind of like a street fair, but always open. That said, like a street fair, most of the merchandise is a bit kitschy or generic. You're definitely not going to find much in the way of trendy or upscale pieces here. If you like art with sassy quotes or bold beaded jewelry, there's lots to find.”
“Looking for a frame to compliment a print is a tedious chore as there are so many places in Chicago to choose from. I was able to find Prints Unlimited and Jill was able to narrow down my selection like a puzzle sorting out different color mattes and frames. Jill was able to quote me a price minus a check-in discount (under $600) which made this final product come to life. The final product was mention to take 3 weeks but after 2 weeks, I got the call to come pick the print up. I am glad Prints Unlimited made this process easy and the price was very affordable. Highly recommend Prints Unlimited to anyone who is trying to match a print to frame.”
“I saw Bobby Conn play a set in the basement here. A wonderful venue, nice people, the beer is often cheap, sometimes free. I hear it's owned by the mayor of Bridgeport.”
12:00 PM - 5:00 PM
3745 N Southport Ave, Chicago“Nice theater, small and well managed. Went to watch young Frankenstein with our 15 year old which was a mistake. The musical should be 18-+ because of some content. If our daughter didn't tag along my husband and I would have enjoyed watching it to the end . We left in the interval because we didn't want our daughter feeling uncomfortable. So many wasted $$$”
“my son and I love this shop. it has brought so many happy memories. they have a magically curated selection of old and new treasures. we frequently purchase gifts for loved ones (and ourselves.) I haven’t made it to any of the classes/special events, but looking forward to that.”
“This is a gallery that always has something going on and a place you just want to stop by to see what's new. The work ranges across different styles and price points, appealing to both emerging and established collectors.Allan aka Bergart is friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about art. And he really knows how to bring people together and throw a party!”
“I found a great rug for my son's apartment and some very cool earrings. I love browsing her store. Her sense of style is beautiful and uncomplicated. Love it.”
“I haven't been there and I'm from Chicago but just looking at the pictures the artwork the glass work breathtaking and those are just photos just imagine in person looking at them”
“This gallery was exquisite. Of the abundance of art galleries in Chicago, during my visit, I would have to say , this is one of my favorites. The staff is very polite, the host is very knowledgeable of the art that is being displayed, the building is well kept, and the art is very well selected. Many galleries are a hole in the wall location with good art or very nice locations but all they display is overpriced scribbles on canvas and call it fine art. This location is a nice location with very nice art being displayed from a range of artists that have art priced for all budgets . Highly recommend when visiting Chicago.”
“I am more than pleased with the framing of some artwork I had done at the Artful Framers Studios. I ended up working with Hope, the owner, and she was very friendly and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. She gave me great options that still kept me within my budget. It was very evident that she knew her stuff and that framing was a passion for her.”
“Great collection of art work. They also host showings and it's awesome to meet the artists and learn more about their works.Even has a used record store in the back area!”
“Everybody knows how difficult it is these days to find first rate quality in service and product. Frame Warehouse in Oak Park is an exception to that bleak reality. Different members of my family have used them for a wide variety of frame types and styles, and the results have been uniformly excellent. They seem to take the work personally, and it shows. There is simply no higher quality framing being done anywhere else that I am aware of.”
“Was gifted a custom piece from David and it’s absolutely perfect! Went to pick it up and met David who is nothing but great - all the artwork in there is so unique. Would highly recommend David’s gallery”
9:30AM - 4:30PM
2775 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago“Ordered a print through email from an artist I follow. It was a very small run of 10, and I bought two: one for myself + one for a family member. Very responsive + good service. Would order from again.”
“We had such a fantastic experience having our son’s 10th birthday party here. The staff is super helpful and set up tables and chairs for us. The kitchen was great to set up pizza and cake. Most importantly, the kids had an absolute blast playing all the video games! The parents also wanted to play the games at pickup. We’ll be back for sure!”
“One of my Favorite stores to purchase body oils/creams, artifacts, art, black soap, symbolic jewelry as well as materials to create your own meaningful jewelry. *Black owned”
“Just started a class here — what a great space! My class has been great so far, I’m an absolute beginner but I’m loving learning. Instructor is great, friendly and approachable, and it’s fun to explore a new medium!”
“I have been twice now, this is both an eye-catching space which externally looks more "square" but internally is filled with a lot of angles and perspectives which change as you explore the space. The galleries are intimate and allow you to view the collections closely with a small timed-entry crowd, and the staff working the galleries actually know quite a bit about all the art, you can ask them anything and they seem to know it. There isn't too much parking since it's on a city street but I've been able to find spaces on the nearby major street paid parking and walk there. They have only had amazing exhibitions so I plan to see them all going forward!”
“We had a small gathering here at the gallery for an event unrelated to the usual art happenings in the gallery. This is space that serves for community and creativity. The exhibitions are vibrant. The gallery staff and art itself engage the patrons at every event.”
“We stumbled across this space while walking through the neighborhood. The curator was super friendly and informative and the artwork is definitely worth a look. Would absolutely visit again.”
“I took two short classes here and really enjoyed both. The classrooms were spacious, with nice light, so a bit chilly, since it is in a charming old building. My teachers were both very nice and willing to help and answer questions. My fellow classmates were equally friendly, and I would return if I lived a bit closer, maybe when it warms up because I am very interested in future classes.”
11AM - 5PM
246 Chicago Ave, Oak Park“I taught at Terra for 20+ years. (I moved to northern Michigan in '21). My former students have kept me up to date about how the studio has improved since changing ownership. Really outstanding. This has always been a great place to take a pottery class, find community, and get outstanding instruction. You've always wanted to learn to throw on the wheel, right,? Take a class!”
“Unique Art Gallery! Various talented artists works displayed in comfortable gallery. Eclectic Art in several mediums. Inviting and knowledgeable owner. New and established artist's works displayed and available for all types of art lovers and collectors.”
“My Family outing was very enjoyable. Chatonyia was very kind, patient, and welcoming. It was the first time I had ever did anything like a class for decorating my glass and it was definitely made memorable.”
“I have taken Sandy Dawson’s (Sam) art classes for adults for a few years and participated in several workshops.Sam is a wonderful teacher and has worked with all ages, from preschool through adult. She naturally cultivates a warm, supportive learning environment. The students who have specific interests build upon their skills and learn new techniques as they improve. Other students experiment with different media. They begin to develop their strengths and preferences. No one is ever discouraged from trying something “new.”Sam’s comments are never criticisms. They are suggestions, instructional tools and explorations of strategies meant to inspire.”
