Are you looking for something to give your house or apartment a unique touch? Are you looking for…read morean unexpected housewarming, birthday, anniversary, or wedding gift? Why not consider buying a piece of art? And I am not talking about going to Target or Walmart and buying one of those generic, made a million of 'em, mass-produced posters or "printed" paintings. I am talking about going to Project Onward, on the fourth floor at the Bridgeport Art Center, and selecting from thousands of one-of-a-kind paintings, ceramic sculptures, and drawings. Project Onward is an amazing studio and gallery where they give artists with mental and developmental disabilities a "visual voice" to tell their stories and change the perceptions of the world. Their non-profit studio is inclusive, and they embrace artists with a wide range of life experiences. Some are self-taught artists who have Autism, while some are formally trained artists who have bipolar disorder. There are other artists with challenges that are equally complex. However, all of them willingly explore the innermost recesses of their minds to create powerful works of art. Most of the Project Onward artists live on low incomes and cannot afford to pay for studio space, or purchase supplies. So there is no cost for them to be a part of Project Onward. Many of their artists have received accolades for artistic excellence. Artwork created in their Chicago studio has been widely exhibited, and can be found in private, and corporate collections throughout the world. Project Onward's studio and gallery is a beehive of creative activity. The artists are friendly and delighted to see visitors interested in their creations. Volunteer guides are at hand to show you the artwork available for purchase, or you can just flip through the art bins at your leisure. There is so much incredible artwork to choose from--and most of it is affordably-priced. My husband and I recently spent a fun and engaging afternoon there, chatting with the artists and volunteers--and we found the perfect housewarming gift of art for a friend. When you purchase a piece of art from Project Onward, you're helping support a good cause, and you get something unique and beautiful to have or to give. I highly recommend supporting Project Onward, and treating yourself or a loved one to the gift of art!!

I ended up at the Cultural Center today and stumbled upon the Project Onward studio + gallery on my…read moreway out. WOW, what an amazing place! The artwork is unique to each artist - many focus on a certain theme or style. I was admiring an awesome Jimi Hendrix piece on the wall (sadly, far out of my price range) when the artist greeted me and told me more about his work and how he got started. His focus is memorial portraits, which he began 7 years ago after experiencing a loss of a family member who was close to him. I felt touched that he shared his story and passion with me. There is definitely something in everyone's price range - many $10, $20, and $35 pieces (many on corrugated cardboard - interesting!). Others were in the hundreds, like the Hendrix piece I was admiring. I ended up going back and picking up a $20 Chicago-themed piece for my new apartment. 70% of sales go back to the artist. As another reviewer said, you also see some artists at work. Their stations are seemingly as unique as the artwork. The artist who uses glitter...wow! Loved that station! I spoke with one of the managers on my return trip today, and he said they have around 40 artists. I'm looking forward to telling some of my students about Project Onward as well. Overall a very positive place focused on community and art appreciation.

Love the use of toy soldiers and Lego people to create portraits. Artist Replete also gives more back to the artists as they take substantially less than the traditional 50% commission charged by most art gallery owners. Worth a stop. Located on the second floor near the Lego Store.

I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for these in stores. Overall, the way they repurposed this space is so cool. It has a modern, chill California vibe that was so fun and relaxing. I also loved that it's a women-owned business -- can't go wrong there! Such a fun place I'll definitely be back to, either for an event or just for a drink!

So of course went to Chicago on Juneteenth week/weekend which was also Black Yacht Weekend! We were looking for unique and culturally specific activities and The Bronzeville Art District Trolley Tour, hosted by the gallery was the absolute perfect find! We arrived at Gallery Guichard to music and laughter in their courtyard. We wandered inside to browse. After picking out all our favorite works and discussing them, we headed back out outside for drinks then hopped on the first trolley (a double decker sightseeing deck) to Blanc Gallery. As we road, the lively tour guide gave us some history of the neighborhood and schedule of events for the rest of the evening. When we got back to Guichard, the second trolley was right behind us so we hopped on and headed to Faie African Art. That was the final trolley but when we got back the party was still going with open houses of the artists in residence. Aside from the artwork, fellowshipping with the artists in their own spaces was my favorite part. It was truly a beautiful evening and all for FREE! If you're in Chicago on the 3rd Friday of the month, this is a MUST attend event!
