I am coming from the angle of a neighbor...........and Wifey and I are glad they are our neighbor. We love to walk the "campus". We love to use the track.

Very happy to living near EC!

Excellent art and staff. Unfortunately, the arts center is now permanently closed to the public and…read moreis only accessible through exclusive appointments for purchasing artwork. During its open days, the art, people, and overall atmosphere were truly impeccable. Many remarkable artists and memorable events were hosted there, leaving a lasting impression. After several lead staff members departed, however, the gallery began to decline. The owner who also operates the Oak Brook Surgical Center as a practicing surgeon ultimately shifted the model and now offers viewings by appointment only. It's a real loss for the community, given the creativity, quality, and vibrancy that once defined the space! Always enjoyed visiting when in Oak Brook!

We were able to leave our fear of failure at the door, due to Rebecca and the staff at Art and Antique. Wow we were able to enjoy our time, which went very fast each week, and the improvement, despite our talent, was a treat. Rebecca was very helpful yet let us test our lack of talent. I had a blast. It was nice having a friend join in, but was comfortable and looked forward to each weeks new test. You all should try this! It is fun and a challenge. Hey bring a friend or two and do the preview and then go from there. Life is way to short not to test your self even if you are past the half way mark on the hundred year mark. Joe

What a wonderful afternoon at DIT!!…read more During COVID, call/email ahead for a private appointment and send in images before you arrive. We had two adults and three kids (8, 9 and 12). Adrian had everything setup and even let the kids pick what music to listen to on Alexa (Hamilton!) The studio is cozy and well-stocked with supplies. Adrian is super talented and also a patient, fun, accommodating, creative and encouraging guide to crafting. He walked us through the almost-two-hour process of making our own, unique wooden signs-- from sanding, staining, pressing patterns, choosing colors and painting. We had a great time and came away with beautiful art. And for the very, very reasonable cost, I'm surprised there are any openings this winter. Run to DIT!!

Is it weird to write a review about a chapel? Probably but I'm going to do it anyways. My friend…read moregot married here this past weekend and I had the honor of being a bridesmaid. It was a hot, hot day and it was so relaxing to be in a place with air conditioning. Being raised Catholic, I know how most churches are not air conditioned and have memories of fainting alter servers during mass. Luckily we had no fainting bridesmaids during the ceremony. I really liked that they had a more secular service with the structure of a religious service but readings from the couple's favorite books. I can't comment on the price of using the chapel since I was a bridesmaid and not a bride (#lifestory) but if you're looking to get married this might be a good place to checkout.

I felt the atmosphere to be warm and accepting, accommodating those with little experience and those who spend their lives being creative. It was a perfect balance of informational, historical and hands on Glass work. All my questions were thoroughly answered and I left feeling inspired and eager to utilize what I learned. I would recommend this school to any and all. An added bonus is the eclectic neighborhood, warm and charming teacher, Lydia, inclusive atmosphere and creative vibe that persisted throughout the class.

After attending multiple sessions primarily due to being very local the owners final lie prompted…read moremy need to leave a review. It's a shop that nickle and dimes the students offers inarticulate instruction and is always dusty and dirty. Expect the owner to act and treat you as if you are an inconvenience his production work after lame excuses that come with a very practiced fake smile. If you can put up with that kind attitude then the good is that the wheels are weak to decent and the glazes ok once you figure them out.. but don't expect guidance. Tools are limited and begrudgingly shared so expect to bring your own.

For $25 you get 12 hours to draw/paint with top notch models in singles and pairs. Poses are usually 25 minutes or less and they always have a studio for 3 hour poses. The artists with whom you draw are often professional or retired professional artists. Plus, you get lunch!

If…read moreyour being ridiculous they will tell you to stop and if you don't and start threatening the safety of yourself or others they put you in a office to talk one on one. The only times that they have maybe bruised people is when they try to physically harm staff or other students so they have to restrain them. I went for 3 years and they NEVER put their hands on me I acted out and all they did was put me in a office. My school counselor was amazing and my teachers helped me through the hardest parts of my life. If you want a school that will shape your kid into a better person and a place that'll help your kid grow this is the place.

We condemn SEAL's administration and teaching staff for fostering a hostile environment. Rather…read morethan maintaining a safe and inclusive space, school leaders and educators normalized racial insensitivity by initiating and encouraging discussions centered around racial jokes and stereotypes. When parents or students reported these alarming incidents, leadership retaliated against the victims, provided only surface-level responses to appease the community, and failed to issue genuine consequences for the involved staff. This school is extremely unprofessional and will also refuse to follow a child's IEP, no matter what measures you have in place. Do not send your student to SEAL.

Custom art requires custom framing. I have been present in an art framing store when someone was…read moreSHOCKED at the cost of custom framing a baptismal gown. She thought about $100. You could not even do it yourself for that amount of money. Get a grip people. So the artist of our piece has her work framed here for her shows, so if it works for her, we will give it a try. Angela and Frank, the owners, worked patiently with us suggesting different frames. Our piece happened to be 63 inches tall ~ a little on the tall side. They suggested a frame from Italy ~ it was beautiful with the artwork. Even the artist came in and thought it would be beautiful. SOLD It really did not take any longer than other art pieces we have had framed ~ this is not an instant gratification process. When it was completed we were totally pleased. I would certainly recommend this service.

This window has been in my family for 50 years now. It was in my house when I was growing up and…read morehas moved with me twice. I had installed it into my present house and my wife and I enjoyed looking at it every time we walked into our bedroom. Last year I noticed the glass was coming out of the leading holding it together. Upon further investigation I realized that the wood frame was rotted on the outside causing the issue. The glass was literally sinking out of the frame. After searching the internet I stumbled across Art Glass and Studio. I'm sure glad I did. Lawrence (Law) was a pleasure to work with! He was honest and realistic about his timeframe for assessing the situation and actually getting the work started and finished. I really appreciated that he let us know that he is a busy guy handling a number of projects at the same time but would give our window his utmost attention when our time came. He gave us plenty of options for the repairs working with our budget and suggesting different methods for reinstallation of the window. The option we chose was to make the window a decorative piece instead of an actual permanent window. That way if we move again or our children want the window to stay in the family after we're gone it will be easier to move it to the next place. When it came time for our window to be worked on, I removed it from our house (my choice to save money) and took it over to his shop. Law started on it and kept us informed as to how it was going. Once started, he finished it quickly and it looks great! In this day and age of "bait and switch" it was such a pleasure to work with someone who actually does what he says and does great work. This window was built around 1870 and thanks to Art Glass and Studio (Law) it should have another 150 years of in it. I highly recommend them
