“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.

“Great shows! Really well done with terrific casts and affordable prices, making theater accessible to those who can't afford to pay $500 per ticket. It's a wonderful place and everyone should support it!”
“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.”
“I walked into Artful Framer having never actually had anything professionally framed. Hope, the owner, was extremely patient and went over my many options, including buying a frame elsewhere and making it work! I explained to her that I had already waited a long time for this piece to arrive from overseas and that time was a major concern for me. Hope totally over delivered on the turnaround time! My partner and I couldn’t be happier with the end result! I highly recommend Hope and Artful Framer for any and all framing projects! Her patience, attention to detail, and willingness to figure something out within my budget were truly second to none! Thank you again and again Hope!”
“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!”
“Came here to get some smiskis and they are a certified retailer! At the time they only had 4 series, but thankfully still a couple to choose from. The staff was friendly and the store had so many different toys! And blind boxes for those interested! They even have a cool hangout and chill area!”
“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.”
“I learned about Janice and her work via a Block Club Chicago podcast, and I reached out to request custom painted ornaments as a holiday gift. The whole experience was excellent from start to finish - Janice's communication was great and and the ornaments turned out fantastic, even better than I had hoped. The recipient was thrilled! Really happy to have found AponteArt and Janice's amazing artistry.”
“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.

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.”

“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!”
“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.”
“I absolutely love this place and it makes me wish I lived in west town neighborhood so I could visit more often!! The owner is an absolutely wonderful soul and the chicago art scene is a better place because of her!”

“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!”
“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”

“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.”

“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.”
“The classes are great for kids and adults. Staff and teachers are kind and knowledgeable. Commited to art for all is great to be a part of. Art exhibits fun to walk through and great coffee shop accessible from street or center.”
“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!”
“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!”
