During its open days, the art, people, and overall atmosphere were truly impeccable. Many remarkable artists and memorable events were hosted there, leaving a lasting impression. After several lead staff members departed, however, the gallery began to decline. The owner who also operates the Oak Brook Surgical Center as a practicing surgeon ultimately shifted the model and now offers viewings by appointment only. It's a real loss for the community, given the creativity, quality, and vibrancy that once defined the space! Always enjoyed visiting when in Oak Brook!

We were able to leave our fear of failure at the door, due to Rebecca and the staff at Art and Antique. Wow we were able to enjoy our time, which went very fast each week, and the improvement, despite our talent, was a treat. Rebecca was very helpful yet let us test our lack of talent. I had a blast. It was nice having a friend join in, but was comfortable and looked forward to each weeks new test. You all should try this! It is fun and a challenge. Hey bring a friend or two and do the preview and then go from there. Life is way to short not to test your self even if you are past the half way mark on the hundred year mark. Joe

What a wonderful afternoon at DIT!!…read more During COVID, call/email ahead for a private appointment and send in images before you arrive. We had two adults and three kids (8, 9 and 12). Adrian had everything setup and even let the kids pick what music to listen to on Alexa (Hamilton!) The studio is cozy and well-stocked with supplies. Adrian is super talented and also a patient, fun, accommodating, creative and encouraging guide to crafting. He walked us through the almost-two-hour process of making our own, unique wooden signs-- from sanding, staining, pressing patterns, choosing colors and painting. We had a great time and came away with beautiful art. And for the very, very reasonable cost, I'm surprised there are any openings this winter. Run to DIT!!

Is it weird to write a review about a chapel? Probably but I'm going to do it anyways. My friend…read moregot married here this past weekend and I had the honor of being a bridesmaid. It was a hot, hot day and it was so relaxing to be in a place with air conditioning. Being raised Catholic, I know how most churches are not air conditioned and have memories of fainting alter servers during mass. Luckily we had no fainting bridesmaids during the ceremony. I really liked that they had a more secular service with the structure of a religious service but readings from the couple's favorite books. I can't comment on the price of using the chapel since I was a bridesmaid and not a bride (#lifestory) but if you're looking to get married this might be a good place to checkout.

I would recommend this school to any and all. An added bonus is the eclectic neighborhood, warm and charming teacher, Lydia, inclusive atmosphere and creative vibe that persisted throughout the class.

I went for 3 years and they NEVER put their hands on me I acted out and all they did was put me in a office.

Custom art requires custom framing. I have been present in an art framing store when someone was…read moreSHOCKED at the cost of custom framing a baptismal gown. She thought about $100. You could not even do it yourself for that amount of money. Get a grip people. So the artist of our piece has her work framed here for her shows, so if it works for her, we will give it a try. Angela and Frank, the owners, worked patiently with us suggesting different frames. Our piece happened to be 63 inches tall ~ a little on the tall side. They suggested a frame from Italy ~ it was beautiful with the artwork. Even the artist came in and thought it would be beautiful. SOLD It really did not take any longer than other art pieces we have had framed ~ this is not an instant gratification process. When it was completed we were totally pleased. I would certainly recommend this service.

I have taken them antique prints, valuable family photos, a delicate magazine image I loved, and also had them make a giant mirror for a room in my house--some of them done 10+ years ago, and they are all still looking fantastic. BTW, this is not where you go if you want a cheap frame that will start to warp and bend after it has been hung up for a few years. They use quality materials. They epitomize the phrase, if you want something done right, take it to a professional.

This window has been in my family for 50 years now. It was in my house when I was growing up and…read morehas moved with me twice. I had installed it into my present house and my wife and I enjoyed looking at it every time we walked into our bedroom. Last year I noticed the glass was coming out of the leading holding it together. Upon further investigation I realized that the wood frame was rotted on the outside causing the issue. The glass was literally sinking out of the frame. After searching the internet I stumbled across Art Glass and Studio. I'm sure glad I did. Lawrence (Law) was a pleasure to work with! He was honest and realistic about his timeframe for assessing the situation and actually getting the work started and finished. I really appreciated that he let us know that he is a busy guy handling a number of projects at the same time but would give our window his utmost attention when our time came. He gave us plenty of options for the repairs working with our budget and suggesting different methods for reinstallation of the window. The option we chose was to make the window a decorative piece instead of an actual permanent window. That way if we move again or our children want the window to stay in the family after we're gone it will be easier to move it to the next place. When it came time for our window to be worked on, I removed it from our house (my choice to save money) and took it over to his shop. Law started on it and kept us informed as to how it was going. Once started, he finished it quickly and it looks great! In this day and age of "bait and switch" it was such a pleasure to work with someone who actually does what he says and does great work. This window was built around 1870 and thanks to Art Glass and Studio (Law) it should have another 150 years of in it. I highly recommend them
