“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.”
“Leather Archives and Museum is a unique and fascinating destination showcasing the history and culture of leather, kink, and fetish communities. Exhibits are well-curated, informative, and engaging. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, providing insightful tours. A must-visit for those interested in alternative subcultures, history, and art.”
“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.”
“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.”

“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 had a wonderful experience here! It's a great local shop with high-quality products. The team is incredibly professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend them and look forward to my next purchase!”
“Brain is amazing, so professional! He helped me out in a pinch with repairing (2) art work frames for a display in less than 24 hours. the packaging for easy carry was much appreciated and his entire shop was clean and organized. I cannot say enough great things and look forward to working together again very soon!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Corry and his team exemplify leadership through service in the way they care for their neighbors and patrons. It’s more than just an art gallery and really a special part of the neighborhood community that has been curated here. Always a pleasure to visit and it’s clear that the owner and staff take a lot of pride in the space they’ve made here. Thanks all!”
“Great place to get shea butter lotion, handbags, clothes, and artwork. And I highly recommend to anyone looking to work with fabrics! So many incredible designs. Mama Afrika is a wonderful store owner to connect with while you shop.”
“I rented this art gallery for a private birthday event and it completely exceeded my expectations. The space itself is beautiful, modern, and extremely well kept, with a layout that feels both upscale and welcoming.
One of the standout features was the surround sound system—top-tier quality that really elevated the entire experience and made the night feel like a true private event, not just a room rental. The lighting, acoustics, and overall atmosphere were perfect for celebrating.
Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and the space impressed every single guest. If you’re looking for a venue that feels exclusive, stylish, and high-end, whether for a birthday or private event, this place is absolutely worth it.
Would 100% book again.”
“Had a wonderful experience with Robert in designing and building a new stained glass window. Can’t say how impressed I was with the quality of his work and the artistry that he brings to the realization of everything had in mind. It’s now a. Integral part of our household and now that summer has come the full potential of the glass has come to life.”
“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.”
“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.

“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.”

“Have purchased a few prints here and most recently at the Other Art Fair for their Dead Presidents show.
Always a great experience and love the work and their dedication to Chicago Artists!”

“I loved this event—four generations of Hip-Hop came together to showcase their talents, all supported by Murs, Groundwaves, and Lumen Radio at Co-Prosperity Sphere in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood.
This is what community, culture, and real artistry look like. ?✨ #Groundwaves #Murs #Chicago #Bridgeport #HipHop #BattlerapLovers”

“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!”

“Such a cool place and such a cool concept! I've gone to events a few times and the staff has been nothing but sweet and accommodating. We need more places like this in Chicago! The atmosphere and art on the walls is also gorgeous.”
“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!”
“A wonderful concert at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art. The pianist Myroslav Mikhailenko and violinist Julia Perekhoznuk delivered a beautiful, expressive performance with great chemistry and emotional depth. An intimate evening of music that was both moving and memorable.”
“Tessarae is such a warm, inviting place full of the kindest people. We had my daughter's birthday party there and it was a great experience. The environment was very inviting and comfortable, our group of teens had a really fun time doing a painting lesson together. We're looking forward to returning for painting lessons and art anytime in the future!”
“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!”

“I recently visited Josh Moulton’s Fine Art Gallery in Lincoln Park, and it was an incredible experience. I came in to look at some of Josh’s original works, and he was incredibly helpful and informative throughout my visit. His gallery features a wide range of stunning pieces, including iconic Chicago landmarks and beloved spots like the Chicago lakefront and Butch McGuire’s.
Josh’s talent truly shines through in his art, but what stood out even more was his exceptional level of customer service. He made me feel welcome and took the time to share insights about his work and process. I’m so glad I found his high-end gallery, and I’m already looking forward to visiting again in the future. I highly recommend Josh Moulton to anyone who appreciates fine art and outstanding service!”
