I've walked by this store millions of times during my 8+ years in Glencoe and admired the artwork…read more I've also heard it's the place to go if you need something framed or even for kids art classes! I searched all over the North Shore, Chicago and even Sun Valley, Idaho for the perfect painting for my family room. And finally I found it here. It was perfect and also priced fairly. Unlike other gallery owners Michael wasn't willing to negotiate at all on price, but he did hang it for me. Months later I purchased 4 paintings from a local artist and stopped back in to get 3 of them framed by Michael. He took about 2 weeks to frame them and did a beautiful job...and once again hung them and another painting for me. I love supporting local and Michael is a lovely man with gorgeous artwork and impeccable framing/hanging skills so look forward to being a longtime customer.

Tremain is the only place I would go for framing. The owner is knowledgeable and meticulous. It is…read morea joy to work with him to find the perfect materials for any piece. You can trust him with your most valuable art. He specializes in restoration. But he is just as willing to help you with "just for fun" pieces. Framing is costly but he is mindful to balance any project with the right framing approach depending on the moment. Excellent work on shadow boxes too!

Some of the ornate frame had fallen apart and was cracked not to mention the backing was falling apart due to its age -- It is now perfect! Not only is he skilled he is passionate about his work and it shows. It was a haul for me to go to Evanston but it was well worth it. He made me feel so comfortable leaving my family heirloom in his care. 10/10 . GREAT JOB!!

Recently, we saw two that we connected with and thought would really enhance our home; we purchased them today.

I can't say enough great things about the Greenleaf Art Center. Its truly a neighborhood gem and…read moremakes me sad to not live near it anymore as my kids would sign up for all the children's classes. The space is great - a beautiful restored factory building that opens into a busy Chicago neighborhood. Last time I was there, the owners were working on even more improvements and I can't wait for my next visit. I have not taken any adult classes, but, have sat in on the kids classes and was very impressed with the lessons. Kathie Paluch kept my kids happily working the whole time and I've found the lessons to be age appropriate. On the other hand, I have very much enjoyed a few of the Gallery Open Houses. The "long hall" as you walk into the studio has a lot of really great completed work, most of it for sale. But, as you wander through the studio you find that a large majority of the studios are open and the artists are happy to show you all their works in progress as well. The artists are all so great - every one of them focusing on a different style/medium and each of them interesting in their own right. Of course the drinks and snacks are fun and generous as well! My only regret is that now that word has gotten out about the Spring and Fall Open Houses, they have become more busy. Good for the artists and art center, not so good for those of us that have enjoyed a more personalized walk through the studios in the past! Finally, in this busy Chicago neighborhood, parking is never an issue (well, unless you come during one of the bi-annual art shows, at which case, you shouldn't be driving anyway :)).

I've been lucky enough to work with these fabulous people twice. Once on a textile piece and again…read morewith an Ambrotype, similar to a daguerreotype. As it happened, we did not end up conserving the textile piece because it was so badly damaged, but the experience was so positive I brought them an Ambrotype I'd received. The image quality had suffered a great deal in the 160-plus years it had been kicking around my family. Our goal was to stop any more damage occurring to image on the glass and, if possible, clean and/or brighten the picture. Well. The Conservation Center did a MAGNIFICENT job! It's stunning! A beautiful portrait of a woman circa 1860. The care, the craftsmanship... it's clear my little treasure was just as much a treasure to them as well. And with their help, the image of a that long-gone matriarch will preside over the family for at least a hundred more years. I cannot recommend The Conservation Center enough. And, I shall be bringing them another piece to look at.

This portrait was over 100 years old and had a lot of damage to the portrait and frame, especially water damage. The restoration is truly remarkable! Such care and consideration were given us especially when working with us on the pricing! I am so grateful to Ms. Maria Orachek! She was wonderful to work with us. This portrait now belongs to my disabled son, and it has made him so happy. I am happy to write this review for The Conservation Center and their entire staff. They deserve a full 5-star review!
