Fun fact: can't sell spray in Chicago, but in Evanston you can!
Joe C.

Arts has always been an important part of my life. Nothing like a well stocked Art store! I particularly like this store because I learned something new and had a pleasant surprise. I didn't know spray paint was illegal to sell in Chicago but legal in Evanston. This blick not only has spray but a pretty substantial collection and brands like Montana cabs. I picked up some leather paint for some shoe repair but I'm becoming a bit more Blick loyal because although further than competitors, I find they always have a wider selection and available stock.

A great assortment of art supplies for children and adults readily available.

I love Blick Art Materials! It is like going into a candy store for me. As an art educator I ordered the school supplies for the students from Blick's for many years. I am also a practicing artist and I have always been so impressed by the knowledgeable and friendly staff. They really know their products and will readily help navigate the store to find the materials and mediums I'm looking for. They always have good sales. We are so fortunate to have Blick Art Materials close by. A special shout out to Liz and Clinton for helping me with what I needed the other day!

The technicolor walls drew me in. I wasn't even on a mission to buy anything. This one-stop-shop was surprisingly amusing. Whether you're an artist in need of supplies, a Martha Stewart type (crafty), or an awesome gifter, this place checks all the boxes. There's even a section for visual effects like fx makeup and masks that you can customize. All the merchandise is very organized and sections looked neat/well-maintained. This is one of those shops you can get lost in because there's just way too many sections to look at. If I had more disposable income, I would sure buy some of the cool items they carry like a miniature arcade and a spaceship-shaped planter. Even though I was just browsing, a gentleman asked if I needed help, which was certainly appreciated.

Really nice stuff, really clean and organized too. It's great when they have sales. I got some canvasses half off.

I cannot say enough great things about my experience from start to finish with Frame Warehouse,…read morespecifically with Paul and Ava! I went to 3 other frame stores before I found them. I brought in a large textile that I wanted framed and every other store I went to found an obstacle with everything due to the size of the piece. The biggest difference with Frame Warehouse was that they said "yes!" And found ways to make my requests happen, which turned into a piece that is unique and that I truly LOVE! Thank you, Ava, for your knowledge and guidance. Paul went above and beyond from the moment I called him to see if they could work with a piece this size, to the moment it was delivered. Yes, delivered, which we never discussed, but I got a text from Paul saying that they were renting a truck to bring it to me. I didn't even have to ask, they just made it happen at no extra cost to me. I about fell off my chair- the customer service was SO spectacular and is rare these days. All of this to say, I cannot recommend Frame Warehouse enough. I am SO beyond thrilled with my piece, my experience, and with Ava and Paul. Save the time that I spent looking at other stores and go straight to Frame Warehouse.

Rowen at Frame Warehouse is a gem. She knows how to…read morelisten, is a true artist with excellent taste , knows her inventory and does a fabulous job framing. I see they are listed as being more expensive than the average in the area. This is not true. Their pricing is excellent and on par or even better than other local places. I have been coming here for years and am thrilled with the quality of the final product

Just to add to the review I left in October 2023, in the roughly 18 months since then Chris and…read moreMichael have continued to provide me with excellent advice, service and a wonderful selection of beautiful art for my home. I would really suggest anyone looking to add beauty to their home or office at least stop by Art Post (or visit their website) because what they offer is a wonderful alternative to the outrageous prices and narrow vision of many of the other Chicago area art galleries. Chris and Michael are not at all pushy and genuinely want you to love what you purchase. Every room in my home feels bright and cheerful and makes me smile, largely because of what I've taken home from Art Post in the past two years.

I've been to one gallery after another looking for the perfect painting for my family room. I'm…read morebummed that the hunt for a painting took me so long to visit Art Post Gallery because they have gorgeous work. I spent a lot of time examining the artwork on their website ahead of time and love how they let you search by style, size and other options that makes the art buying process a little easier. I had admired a few paintings on their site, but of course nothing beats seeing something in person. And the same paintings I liked on the site were even better in person. I liked one, Uplifting Light, so much that I asked Chris if she could photoshop it into the room I've been looking for. She said an even better option was to take it home for the weekend. She was also super helpful on what frames would work best and I loved that they could frame the painting right in their store - and she said they could hang it too! I filled out some information, gave her my credit card # and I loaded up my SUV. Turns out SUVs are good for something besides carpooling children around.. Once home I was so excited to see the painting in my family room since I was certain this was the "one." I'm so glad Chris let me try it out because while I loved the painting on it's own it just didn't work in the room- the size was wrong, the colors clashed with the colors in my room, etc. And so a few days later I sadly brought it back and handed it to Michael who was very understanding about the situation. I actually did find another painting at a different gallery over the weekend that I believe is the "one" after trying it out in the room, but I will definitely be back to Art Post Gallery when ready to find art for other rooms in my house.
