Just to add to the review I left in October 2023, in the roughly 18 months since then Chris and…read moreMichael have continued to provide me with excellent advice, service and a wonderful selection of beautiful art for my home. I would really suggest anyone looking to add beauty to their home or office at least stop by Art Post (or visit their website) because what they offer is a wonderful alternative to the outrageous prices and narrow vision of many of the other Chicago area art galleries. Chris and Michael are not at all pushy and genuinely want you to love what you purchase. Every room in my home feels bright and cheerful and makes me smile, largely because of what I've taken home from Art Post in the past two years.

I've been to one gallery after another looking for the perfect painting for my family room. I'm…read morebummed that the hunt for a painting took me so long to visit Art Post Gallery because they have gorgeous work. I spent a lot of time examining the artwork on their website ahead of time and love how they let you search by style, size and other options that makes the art buying process a little easier. I had admired a few paintings on their site, but of course nothing beats seeing something in person. And the same paintings I liked on the site were even better in person. I liked one, Uplifting Light, so much that I asked Chris if she could photoshop it into the room I've been looking for. She said an even better option was to take it home for the weekend. She was also super helpful on what frames would work best and I loved that they could frame the painting right in their store - and she said they could hang it too! I filled out some information, gave her my credit card # and I loaded up my SUV. Turns out SUVs are good for something besides carpooling children around.. Once home I was so excited to see the painting in my family room since I was certain this was the "one." I'm so glad Chris let me try it out because while I loved the painting on it's own it just didn't work in the room- the size was wrong, the colors clashed with the colors in my room, etc. And so a few days later I sadly brought it back and handed it to Michael who was very understanding about the situation. I actually did find another painting at a different gallery over the weekend that I believe is the "one" after trying it out in the room, but I will definitely be back to Art Post Gallery when ready to find art for other rooms in my house.

What I like most about Guenther Gallery And Design: This is a family owned business. The family treats all customers with kindness and professionalism until the end of your transaction. Specifically what I will be going back for is: personalized treatment, educated opinions about a frame, matte, glass, print quality and even answers to shipment internationally. They also do not try and up-sell the customer. I recently sold one of my prints to a museum for their permanent collection. I believe Guenther Gallery And Design was a large part of the transaction because my print quality, matte and frame were perfectly finished. Thank you Guenther Gallery!

The artwork and pre made frames for sale are nice features, including a live in parrot which adds another level of unique quirk to the shop. I can't recommend this business enough. Well done Alley Gallery!!

If you are looking for a space to create art, build something interesting, or just have fun with no pressure, but all the BYOB filled relaxing fun and music with your friends look no further.

I can see, how when the classes will offer children's coloring, woodcraft, and art therapy, that the owners will create a great experience for everyone. Can't wait to see what Artspace does next!

I applaud Woman Made Gallery's continued mission of Peace, Justice, Diversity, Equality, Non-violence, Dignity, Rights and Inclusion for all -- especially critical in these times when our very democracy is being continually threatened. I particularly want to acknowledge Co-Founder & Director Beate Minkovski for her many years of hard work and dedication to help ensuring women artist have equal placement in the art world. Since 1992, WMG has shown the work of 10,000 artists from around the world in 475 exhibits! When I rejoined last year, I was pleased to find Woman Made Gallery was going stronger and better than ever, supporting artists to "use their voices to challenge injustice and envision a more just and peaceful future." My WMG artist membership has helped me become joyfully prolific and to do my very best, daring work to date -- my dynamic, colorful acrylic paintings are now proudly posted on my WMG Member Page. Because of WMG, I have the power to use art to address the environmental crises and environmental justice, particularly as it impacts women and girls around the world. WMG can handle my art sales, so I am freed to have more time to create meaningful work and evolve my unique brushwork and perspective techniques. -- Letitia L.
