“When I returned to Chicago for the first time in a long time, I found that Lincoln Avenue was abandoned, but Rotofugi was still alive and well.This store has character products, making it feel like you're in Harajuku.There are also Hello Kitty and Japanese products, but now the store mainly sells goods made by an Italian called Tokidoki with Japanese influences.The clothes are cute too.A while ago, there was an event by an artist in New York, and I bought a painting.I hope that someday it will be as valuable as Basquiat.”

“Nice theater but one of the theater staff were kind of mean and rude...and took aong time to check in to get your tickets, overwhelmed and computer issues...ugh...but great show!”
“I’ve only been here a few times, but I’m genuinely impressed. Not only are vibes consistently immaculate in this little sun drenched corner of the city, VSG embodies a refreshing avant-guard take on the modern art gallery. As a young artist and art enthusiast, I really appreciated the atmospheric emphasis on appreciating Chicago’s local talent, rather than just making a retail transaction. VSG is somewhere where people can go to experience art - not just obtain it.”
“This was such a fun experience and beautifully curated. This is definitely a safe space filled with creativity and acceptance. I will definitely be coming back to connect with those in the community!”
“This shop is the coolest! They sell items all from local vendors. Jewelery, tons of great art, clothing, soaps, plants. Great spot to just wander and see cool stuff. The staff is always great, too.”
“Had a great experience here reframing some old paintings. I worked with Hope who did an excellent job through the whole process. Her creative input was helpful and she made sure my order was completed in a timely manner and that it was of the highest quality. I thought the price was fair. I would definitely do business here again.”
“There are a lot of cute shops in Lincoln Square, but this one is my faaaaavorite. It’s a little further south on Lincoln (near the Davis). I love all the local art.”
“Loved learning the culture in depth. Amazing exhibits and diversity. The pin collection they have is definitely an incredible collection!
Visit if you love the leather community!”
“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!!!!.. ???✨✨?️”
“Needed to get something framed and was so impressed with Kelly and how knowledgeable and efficient she was.The quality and selection was outstanding. I can’t wait to bring my other pieces in.”
“An absolute gem of a place! I’ve taken several pottery and printing classes here and they’ve all been fantastic. Instructors and staff are incredible. Would highly recommend!”
“Robert repaired our old stain glass window and our old stained glass curved lamp shade. He worked very closely with us to find the best possible replacement glass pieces. Both pieces came out super and they are proudly displayed in our home. We highly recommend Harmony Art Glass, you will not be disappointed.”
“A humble yet extraordinary culturally robust community center. An absolute Chicago gem. Teresa and Pablo Are generous visionaries devoted to keeping Pilsen culturally authentic as their space consistently gives local artists, authors, creators an opportunity to expand their work. Places like Pach keep Pilsen’s heart pulse alive.
Took moment to drop in as there is no charge and you will see pics artist arts and crafts and some for purchase.
Hot tips: Take a walk around the neighborhood and enjoy all the murals! Looks for the mural Loteria doors that are all around.
Make sure to stop by Cafe Jumping or Urban Treez (next door) for a latte and or meal.
Take a walk to the historical Rudy Lozano Library.
Take a drive to the National Mexican Museum and have a picnic at the park adjacent to it.”
“This is a really vibey art gallery, store, and community space. People who live on the Blue Line can and should come to their shows. Seeing the results of local artists' practice is ? Obviously, you can buy your favorites.
The wares in the store are really good gifts to yourself or to anyone who has an artistic soul. Last time I was there, there were eye-catching denim jackets with painted backs and dresses in really interesting prints. People should just hang out there.”

“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.”
“So many excellent pieces! This was a fun little date stop to pop in and see the art. They have pieces for every price point, as well as sale items. Highly recommend even if you just want to walk around/window shop.”
“Very unique experience. I was here for a community meet up. The place is clean and the owner is friendly. There is a story behind every pieces of artwork for you to explore!”
“My son loves Gamespace, and my husband and I enjoy it too. The special exhibits we have seen (Tron, Q'bert) have been robust for the small space. The classic games on the 2nd floor are always fun to revisit. Staff is friendly and informative. Follow up a visit with a stop by Challengers Comics on Western, walk on the 606, or ice cream at Margie's.”
“Stopped in to get some fresh raw shea butter and Mama Africa hooked us up! Definitely the place to stop for all things related to the motherland. Stop by and you won’t regret it!”
“This is by far my favorite art gallery in the city. The staff is awesome, the talent on the walls is INCREDIBLE and the theme changes regularly. I hope to purchase a piece someday”
“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.”

“My family and I visited Faie African Art Gallery for a friends photography exhibit. The space is absolutely beautiful and we were welcomed by the owner and the artist himself. This is a neighborhood cultural treasure!”
“I had the most incredible experience getting five pieces custom framed and even snagged a sixth right from the showroom! Jill is absolutely amazing! She walked me through every step of the framing process, from picking the perfect frame style to choosing the ideal matting size and figuring out the best placement in my home. I never felt rushed; she was so patient and attentive, making the whole experience a blast! Honestly, I could have easily spent the entire afternoon with her—time flew by!
I couldn’t wait to return, and I brought back even more items, including a blanket (though I had to hit pause because of a vacation coming up). I’ve used Print Unlimitd in the past, and I'm back because I was just so thrilled with the quality! Plus, Jill gave me the pricing on the spot, and I truly felt like I scored a fantastic deal. You really do get what you pay for, so I can't wait to go back again and again!”
“If you want to learn more about printmaking, start here. If you want to begin collecting art, and you'd like to start with an affordable option, start here! The owner and director, Deborah, is an artistic force of nature. An aesthetic whirlwind. And pay special attention to their holiday sale. This is a fantastic place to get a special kind of present!”
“Just wanted to give a shout-out to a wonderful staff who more than fixed my mixed-up gift order from the holidays. They were attentive, responsive and generous. Thank you!”
“Went there for a quick Christmas shopping since the Art Institute students were seeking their prints. I found something for everyone on my "Nice" list and I was amazed by the talent and really, really hard work that went into each piece. Love the size of the venue, small, yet large enough”
“Blanc gallery is absolutely beautiful. I have been there to see several exhibitions. Each time I have had memorable experience. The range of artists and styles is engaging and powerful.”
“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!”
“Had a wonderful time at the art center this past Saturday. It was my first time in Chicago in general, and my best friend and I were looking for local art centers to check out and museums. I'm glad we went to the SSCAC, as we saw works by Black artists and even got to chat with the ED, and attend a Q and A. Places like these serve as integral parts of a community, and I would highly recommend others go too to learn some history and view gorgeous art.”

“A very cozy nice store. Grabbed some supplies with my boyfriend and a book. Saw this place online when I was planning my trip and decided to stop in. Lots of great perfumes and oils as well as supplies for whatever Craft you practice. Also loved the sign on the door (the ICE keep out sign) as well as the Santa Muerte in the window.”
