This art gallery is nothing short of amazing!!! The artwork features Chicago's finest artists as well as national artists. Ted, the owner, arranged a private tour of the space as I am considering it for a private event and I didn't want to leave. If you are in need of draw-dropping artwork, know of someone that is or want to host an event, then this is definitely the place to go! He has poured his heart & soul into this place and it shows!

Very minimalistic!…read more A cute straight forward art gallery hidden in Chicago, right next to JJ Thai street food. It's small, but captivating. Just a few pieces in a large room, but just enough to admire the art/ artist. This would be perfect for a day date, or outing with girlfriend's after brunch! My only regret is not taking more photos.

In fact, if you are reading this in the summer of 2026, you owe it to yourself to hop on over to the Gallery before August 22 to see David Hockney's final exhibition.

I was expecting more artwork however it was very small and a quick tour." I agree with this statement and will add that the idea of the concept of "Immersive" is not accurate. I attended the Van Gogh Immersive in February 2021, was expecting similar experience -- to be surrounded by murals, walls, floor, celling --- not that experience. Some pieces were interactive, which was unique and fun. Other were not particular impressive at there was too much daylight coming through the windows -- they would have benefit from having window coverings. Overall it was below average.

There's real life African Art here!…read more Skip the shops full of hackneyed kente cloths. This place is the real deal and right in the cut between Bronzeville and Hyde Park; the black hipster capitals of Chicago. I gotta say the service was outstanding. I wish it was a bit larger inside for more space and curation but what're you gonna do. Overall, if you want the ultimate one stop shop for authentic African Art with the receipts to match, come here. I grabbed a design by an artist recommended at another gallery. The pieces are timeless and work with nearly every aesthetic. Find your perfect coffee table piece or decorate an entire room with a large canvas.

For a school that attempts so hard to be cutting edge and up to date, they sure hate the idea of accessibility and simplicity. First, to park, you have to battle condo and greektown street parking (not to mention student parking) or fall into the trap known as UIC lot parking. Word to the wise, take the train or bus (bike/walk) to get here, if you seriously need to take a car come early and hunt down a street spot because you'll be trapped in lots or be towed if you don't. Second, it is pretty hard to find. Its in the nondescript building marked by a bland painted steel sign, walk through the door with the glass facade and follow the hall to the left and up some stairs. If you do not do stairs, you have to take the elevator the ever-annoying 1/2 flight of stairs, delineated in the elevator as "1F" rather than "1." Perhaps the F is for "fuck, what moron built an art gallery 1.5 floors up?" Third, the reason its free is due to the fact that they happen to think the graduate work that is rotated in is.. get this, worth viewing. The redeeming quality about this place is its free. You can't vote someplace that is free with one star unless you get suckerpunched, in my opinion. I haven't been hit visiting the gallery yet. Currently there are some fantastic graduate works (MFA show) for the next few weeks, but it can be hit or miss. C. Britt and M. Jinks are showing work until April, when E. Fleischauer and D. Carter (amongst others) are showing work, shouldn't be missed. Hey, at least its not SAIC..
