“Cannot remember the kind woman’s name who helped me out but I went in one day very distressed and knew I needed an aura cleanse. Whoever was working pointed me in the right direction and I’ve gotten very lucky these past few days with my life and things causing me stress and anxiety and I know it’s because of her recommendations! Her wonderful energy as well! If you see this and maybe remember me, thank you so much! Loved aura spray the most.”

“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!”

“Holy cow! I think I just stumbled across my favorite store in all of Chicago. I don't think the reviews fully capture how expansive this store is. It is so beautifully and tastefully decorated—very similar to an art fair where each vendor has a designated space to showcase their work. I can't sing this store's praises enough. Postcards and jewelry galore, tons of Chicago souvenirs, art for people of all ages that you won't find anywhere else. I'm adding this store to my list of places to take my friends who live outside of Chicago.

Even if you're not in the mood to shop, I guarantee you will inevitably find something here that strikes your fancy. Or, just come for the layout of the store alone—it's incredible!!! The photos I took don't even capture the half of it. Just do yourself a favor and stop by, you won't regret it!”

“I recently hosted my book release and 44th birthday celebration at NYCH Gallery, and I could not have chosen a better venue. From beginning to end, the experience was wonderful. The space is absolutely beautiful, elegant, and unique. It provided the perfect backdrop for such an important milestone in my life. I never felt like I was simply renting a venue; I felt supported throughout the entire experience.

My guests loved the space, everything came together beautifully, and I was able to truly enjoy my evening. If you’re looking for a beautiful and memorable Chicago venue for a celebration, launch, private event, or special occasion, I highly recommend NYCH Gallery.

Thank you for helping make my night everything I hoped it would be.”

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.”

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.”

“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 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!”

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!”
