“Excellent afternoon spent here! Visited our mom in Illinois and she didn’t even know of this place. So glad we got to visit! Well worth the time and lots of amazing items and things to learn. Such great history, excellent exhibit and collection, brilliant artwork, and beautiful space. They also had a micro-mosaic section which was equally astounding. Would highly recommend to see this place. What a great experience!”
“This is one of my favorite 'creative' places to go have fun. Nathalie and Yuri are so helpful and Nathalie's work is fabulous. I have taken the mosaic class and fused glass, both recommend for anyone.”

1502 Home Ave, Berwyn“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.”
“Who knew picking frames could be so fun! We have had several pieces of art framed here and could not be more happy. Always respecting our budget and taking time to know us personally. True service and quality! Also my kids love their candy jar!”
“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.”

131 W 1st St, Elmhurst“Love this store!! So fun to walk in, very inspiring. Jess is the owner, super nice lady and friendly!! Affordable and lots of fun items. A little something for everyone :)”
“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.”
“I had an awesome time here with my friends! We were taught how to throw clay, spin it, and how to make a simple bowl design. We could throw as much clay as time allowed, and we could keep up to two items we made. I would definitely go again”

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.”
“Very atmospheric place, excellent artistic program, everyone will find something for themselves, I recommend the cakes - they are delicious, a perfect place to meet and spend time with friends”
“It's Ramadan so I won't give them a negative review but I called both stores to see about if something was in stock, first it took forever to get her someone to answer the phone and once they did it was like they couldn't be bothered to check for me or let me know if something is coming back in.”
“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”

549 Spring Rd, Elmhurst“This is a very professional print shop for artists. Adam is very friendly and easy to work with. You can tell he's been in the printing business for a long time and knows what he's doing. The materials provided are top notch. This is the place to go for high quality giclee prints. I highly recommend.”
“Tom and Sheryl are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the art they sell. My wife and I scheduled to have three beautiful pieces shown in our house. They both spent the better part of an hour patiently displaying different potential locations to hang, making thoughtful suggestions along the way. In the end, we purchased two of the three, and they hung them for us, as well. It was an outstanding experience and we intend to continue patronizing the gallery when the fine art “itch” needs to be scratched. My wife and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended.”
“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.”

“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.”
