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.

We arrived late so we missed out on the appetizers but did get to enjoy a 3 course lunch which was excellent. Tomato bisque, greens with grilled chicken and chocolate mouse for dessert.

There are others areas of the building I saw near the bathrooms so maybe the can accommodate larger groups as well. Highly recommend!

The food is almost all Asian inspired and delicious. They specialize in bao buns, which were very good but not the best we had. We only had appetizers and small plates, sharing everything. The best appetizer is not Asian, but is so good they held it over from the restaurant's previous persona. It's a caviar deviled egg. Try it. Everything else was Asian and delicious. I happen to like more spice than most of my companions, but not one complained of too much spice despite the full flavors. We especially loved the lemongrass chicken, and soy marinated steak bao buns, plus the bulgogi fries. They have a rear patio that we didn't get to see but is likely to be nice in the summer.

Kathyrn has a keen eye and she always selects the perfect frame, mat, etc. I trust her judgement 100% and I rarely find someone whose judgement I trust that completely. Art Store Gallery has an extensive selection of quality frames and the service is top notch. They do archival quality work. While Kathryn selects a few frames that would go well with my piece, whether it be a photograph, painting, sketch, etc., her first choice is always what I end up selecting because she has the best taste. The prices are competitive and I have never been disappointed in the final product. You can entrust them to take good care of your artwork.

I was lucky enough to have the gallery to myself. I took a quick look around and didn't see anything that would work well for the space I'm trying to fill, but then showed Krisi and she took me downstairs where there was so much amazing artwork. I admired painting after painting of artists such as Eric Abrecht (already have one of his gorgeous landscapes in my house), Marshall Noice, Rodger Bechtold and more. I found 2 paintings that could work and krisi was nice enough to photoshop them into the space. Once I saw them on the wall I feared one would clash with the colors in the room and the other was a little smaller than what I was looking for. Unfortunately, my hunt continues, but I'll continue to check out this gorgeous gallery for future art buying needs. They have beautiful work that's appropriately priced. We are lucky to have such a lovely gallery right here in Glencoe.
