“Lovely art gallery. ? I am so excited to get my prints now I know where to get my photos restored.Wonderful art show on 2/28/2024 I look forward to attending more.”
“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.”
“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!!!!.. ???✨✨?️”
“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“Highly recommend this tattoo place! Rich is easy going, skilled, open and creative-drawing out my ideas, and has great music playing too! Very professional, clean, safe, just a comfortable atmosphere. My daughter Lexi and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Rich is our favorite! Thank you Caroline for the recommendation!(Roba did the dog and dreamcatcher/wolf tats a while back, all the rest were done by Rich. Rich added to my peace sign I already had- to make it so more colorful and a work of art!)”
“I enjoyed my visit to Urban Art Retreat. It was different than any other art gallery I have visited. It's an in-home gallery, so the setting is cozy. The proprietress, Dianna Long, led thought-provoking and interesting discussions about each piece. It was nice to have a guide through the pieces instead of just wandering and looking at them on my own. I enjoyed the conversations I had with the other patrons of the opening. Also, the owner's dogs were so cute and friendly!”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
