“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“If you have a painting that needs any restoration, take it immediately to Tremain Art. Steve Citron is a master at restoring a painting to its original grandeur. I had an original portrait painting of my grandfather from 1942. During its transport to my home, a sharp object ripped the canvas. After giving it to Steve for repair, you cannot tell where the tear was originally located. It looks pristine after Steve also cleaned the years of accumulated dust and grime from the canvas.”
“I needed to pick up a framed poster for my client and they went above and beyond to wrap it, provide hooks and screws, and help me get it to my car. Everyone was friendly and professional. Plus, they have a cute parrot!”
“My second home. Great classes, events and community options. There are a lot of different type of classes and workshops. You can even attend free events. Try out yoga, knitting or the drum circle.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Amazing service, speed & selection! Cheryl is FANTASTIC. I know and trust this place so I drove 200 miles there and back to frame a cherished vintage Ravinia poster. Thank you!”
“My husband and I greatly enjoy Cynthia’s highly developed artistic eye as she curates who and what she shows at Vivid Gallery. That expertise makes it very hard to resist adding to our own art collection fromthe new, emerging artists she shows, as well as the established yet still frontier pushing artists she exhibits. Vivid Gallery is simply a jewel in the North Shore. Thank you Cynthia!”
“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!”
“Beautiful store with so many talented artists on display. Guaranteed to have something you will like. If you are in the area, i would highly recommend you stop by and check it out.”
“Did an online auction with Ian. He was very responsive & patient with me. Especially since this was the first auction I did with him. I'm very happy as a bidder. It was also pretty cool to see an old MJ bball card go for 25k on the webcast!”
“We had an incredible experience at this fun little shop for my sister’s bachelorette party. The private class for our group of 12 was lovely- easy to follow instructions but with rooms for our own individuality.
Our instructor was friendly and encouraging our creativity.
We all ended up with little masterpieces perfect for display. I felt like a little kid back in 3rd grade art class and right at home.
Highly recommend.”

“I have been using Art Post Gallery for at least 15 years. I have bought Art as well as used their framing services. They are exceptional in their expertise. And the art they have for sale is high quality and unique.”
“We were in the Venus Cabaret theater, which was a lovely tiny little venue. We got to be right up by the performer, but the whole space was small enough to feel intimate.”
