I cannot say enough great things about Dayhouse Coworking! Jess was a lifesaver when I called her…read moreand needed to have private office space the following day, as the plans I had to remain at home and working through remodeling of our bathrooms was not working as I was in meetings. The space itself is so gorgeous and welcoming, and the amenities available (e.g., private rooms for phone calls, free sparkling water, coffee and snacks) are fantastic. I look forward to attending some of the events/presentations, and am so glad to have a professional, peaceful and gorgeous space in which to work when home is a bit too loud. Jess' demeanor is so calm and lovely, and her support has been top-notch! I strongly recommend checking Dayhouse out if you are thinking about it.

In today's society, things that are broken are often discarded and thrown away…read more I attended a kintsugi workshop at The Art Center Highland Park. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage. Kintsugi treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object. The broken pieces are mended together then painted with gold, silver or platinum paint. The result is that the broken piece is now transformed and by highlighting the flaws and accepting the imperfections, this is now a completely different and beautiful object. Our workshop was taught by Takahashi, Mami, a skilled teacher from Tokyo (by Ghibli Museum she told us). All materials were provided, even the broken pottery (an advanced student brought their own broken vase). The upstairs studio was open, well-ventilated and set up with all materials laid out in an orderly fashion. I appreciated the knowledge and experience that our teacher had, as a skilled working apprentice under a Grand kintsugi Master. She walked around, demonstrating and providing hands-on instruction. As a philosophy, kintsugi is similar to wabi-sabi, an embracing of the flawed or imperfect. Maybe I can incorporate a bit of this practice myself, and accept flaws or imperfections rather than deeming something less than perfect and thus must be discarded. I've taken classes here before and attended gallery showings. This is a close location to downtown HP, has a parking lot and street parking.

LOW ATTENDANCE Gold Coast Art Fair fraudulently advertised as "one of the most well attended art fests in Chicago" & "Gold Coast Art Fair...draws hundreds of thousands of art enthusiasts" Attendance was VERY low confirmed w/video, both days, at 1P, for over a minute w/no one walking by. Amdur's photog did a great job tho of running to booths w/a few people in them to give the impression of a heavily attended event. ZERO ROI Amdur earned $125,450 for booth fees at $675 each + tens of thousands more for double booth fees of $1,095, app fees $35 each, sponsors, food/bar. Artist ROI is calculated by booth fee of 10% of expected gross revenue. Overall GC should have generated total artist revenue of $1,302,750. Each of us should have made $6,750 for event w/allegedly hundreds of thousands of attendees. REALITY I didn't even make $200. No typo! I know for a fact this was also the case w/several artists. HARASSED BY FELLOW JEWELER I watched from outside my booth as fellow jeweler, Richard Gaston, whom I had zero interaction prior to this, come into my booth Sat, went to a case of 14K gold emerald, sapphire & tourmaline necklaces & audibly scoffed, smirked, shook his head & walked out laughing. I watched him walk back to his booth. Sun at 8:27AM before most staff, security & artists arrived, he came back. He tried small talk but I wanted nothing to do w/him. I saw you yesterday making fun of my jewelry & it was shameful. His reply? "Can I give you a bit of advice?" "No thank you". He spewed nonstop insults & said I was "an ugly woman" w/a "black heart". I repeatedly asked him to leave. He refused to leave so I recorded him. His insults continued. There was zero ER contact info provided. An email to Caitlin wasn't answered until the next evening. Amy didn't come to see me until 2 hours later. She dismissed me. Refused to even give me 1 minute of her time. Refused to watch the video. Repeatedly interrupted me because she had to leave for a "security check" w/her staff. He was allowed to stay where he just glared at me the rest of the day. When I & several other artists started to pack up to leave hours before the show ended because it was such a colossal waste of time, effort, energy & money, Joan/Joanne? was quickly alerted. She then came over to reprimand us & take my picture to "tell Caitlin". NO HOTEL ROOM DISCOUNT I started emailing Klyn 6 wks before GC for advertised discounted hotel info. He ignored every email & even ignored his boss Caitlin when she emailed him. 1 1/2 days before GC he finally replied "Sorry for the delay, the building is in charge of this hotel & I do not have any contact information for them. I did not create this block. I recommend booking out of the block." NO JURY/OWNER AMY GIVES AWARDS TO FAVORITES A quick analysis from social media shows the same artists winning awards, some literally back-to-back shows. Amy & Caitlin were the only two who came into my booth for less than 30 seconds. The only thing Amy commented on, repeatedly both days, were the dresses I wore & never my jewelry, which she never even looked at. One less than 30 second booth visit by the owner who doesn't ask about the custom dyed silk to hand-knot semiprecious gems is an insult. Show me & every artist the respect we deserve. Magnificent Mile Art Fair also falsely advertised. $850 booth fee falsely advertised ON Michigan Ave & in the plaza & sidewalks only to discover my booth was on a side street not visible from the plaza. I & several others were just stuck at the end. MOVING FORWARD Over promises & under delivers. To date, zero follow up to artists requesting anonymous Survey Monkey feedback like # of people in our booths, # of customers added to our email database, gross revenue each day, would we this event again, why or why not, what they can do better next time. If you don't have any of this valuable artist info you can't justify exorbitant fees.

Unfortunately, my experience was incredibly disappointing. I had scheduled what I thought would be an in-person tour, but instead was put on a call with a remote salesperson while I was physically standing inside the space. I repeatedly asked (three times) if I could speak with someone onsite, especially since I was told there was someone there who had seen me walk in--but no one ever came to greet me or assist. That alone felt very off. The experience felt extremely transactional and lacked any sense of community, which is surprising given that coworking spaces are supposed to be built around connection and belonging. There was no onboarding, no walkthrough of basics (I had to ask a member how to access the bathroom), no human interaction and no effort to make me feel welcomed. What really sealed it for me was the mismatch between what I was expecting and what was actually offered. I was interested in a dedicated desk, but this wasn't even available even though that's what their website says. Instead, what was explained to me over the phone was essentially an open shared table with no security, no assigned space, no lock, and no staff onsite - the salesperson suggested that I am welcome to leave my equipment there overnight, which didn't feel safe or practical at all--especially when it would take up shared space meant for others, which takes away from their experience. Also, the prices listed on their website are outdated, the salesperson on the call told me that flex coworking costs $150, so the $120 option they have on their website is not even a possibility. Smoke and mirrors. The space itself might look nice at a glance, but the overall experience felt disorganized and poorly managed. Even small details--like the lack of basic hospitality (and yes, even the coffee setup)--added to the impression that this is more of a self-serve rental space than a true coworking community. I walked in ready to join. I walked out feeling frustrated and disappointed. I'm not even interested in exploring the two week free trial.

My daughter (2) has a BLAST every time she's here. It's so nice to have a play space where I can actively engage with my daughter, or, if she's feeling like she needs her own space, she's comfortable enough to go do her own thing because she can see me, and more importantly, I can see her from any spot in the play area. We had my daughter's bff with us the last time, and he's a mega sensory-seeker, and it was nice having a space where he could run around and get his energy out while exploring safely. And because there isn't an overload of primary colors and jumping/climbing/loud play, it was so much easier for him to get back to a calm body to focus on his fine motor play, due to there not being sensory overload to all senses. Love this place, and highly recommend.
