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.

Year after year Sandy has continued to give me the most helpful advice and care. That she is the owner and has run this business for 25 + years lets me feel completely comfortable leaving any piece with her. This last one I did was via the phone and sharing photos of what I had. She is simply the BEST! Thank you Sandy for always taking good care of my clients and of me

First off, I called ahead asking some questions about getting art framed. So when I came into this…read moreplace on Saturday afternoon I found two female workers, one being the owner working with customers on their own projects. There's enough room to move around and look at the pieces of the art that was already framed. I waited for my turn to work with Sandy the owner who helped me with the five pieces I brought in to have framed. She was patient and had good suggestions on what to do with my custom art from Juli Adams that I had bought at the Renegade Craft fair many years ago. Plus another piece that I inherited from a friend that was on canvas. She opened up two anime art pieces in tubes that my husband gave me to have framed and mounted. Sandy put them up with magnets on the board so I could see what we're working with. The prices were very fair, and I'm really glad I didn't go to Michael's today and went to support this small female owner business. If I was in the market to have a sentimental picture framed, I will definitely bring it here. Excited to get my art back in 1 week. She even offered to drive over the larger piece as it might not fit in my car.

On the tchotchkes front, I'd rather go to Cost Plus World Market. If I were Michaels, I'd double down on arts and crafts. That's what drew me here in the first place. Instead, I left with a cheap decorative pumpkin I don't need and some candy corn. And a plan never to return. The cashier was nice and very much alive. This was going to be a three-star review, but then I saw their lead image, which is currently that beyond awful Halloween display. Who put that up? And what kind of idiot would choose to highlight photos of that? Some people are stupid and tasteless.

I had two orders at this location and the first order was misplaced or lost by Andy for a week or so. Ok, accidents happen - I figured they'd find it. They did eventually. but Andy was SO RUDE on the phone. Second order was a triptych. 3 pieces in 3 frames. I showed Cheryl a picture of the finished 3 pieces as I wanted them framed. When I went to pick it up, they insisted I gave them one piece. I'm not sure how they managed to mess both orders up, but I had a heated call with Cheryl who just kept saying they never lose anything and that there was only one piece. A few days later, and no call, I decided to disassemble the frame and use it for something else. and - there they were.....They had stacked all 3 pieces as one in the frame.

Three or four years ago, I received Luxembourg citizenship. I was in the process of applying for a…read moreLuxembourg passport, which required a trip to the Embassy in Washington DC. So, a week before, I came into the Moto Photo in Glenview to get a European passport photo. The Embassy had sent me instructions on getting the photo taken, which I brought with me. I showed the owner, John, the instructions and he said, "Those aren't right. It's cutting off the top of your head." But I was stubborn and insisted he take the photos per the instructions. He did, of course. When I came back to pick up my photos, John gave me a second set based on what he knew to be right. "There's no charge. But you might need them." A few days later I'm at the Luxembourg Embassy in Washington DC, filling out my passport application. I hand my passport photos to the woman behind the desk. "Oh dear," she said. "These are incorrect. The top of your head cannot be cut off." Fortunately, I had John's second set with me. I showed them to the woman. "Ah yes!" she exclaimed. "These are perfect!" I was clipped head top away from not getting my passport and wasting my trip to DC. A lot of other photo places might have said, "That knucklehead is wrong. But he insisted." And just give me the incorrect photos. But John saved me from my ignorance and gave me what he knew was right. This is one Luxembourg citizen and passport holder who is now a Moto Photo Glenview fan for life.

Now, right now, is the time to bravely walk into an art gallery and get acquainted with a few creative souls whose livelihoods are jeopardized by our present pandemic. Find a gallery whose artists enrich your soul, whose works belong in your home. Get to know their work. Buy a few pieces. My personal favorite is Zia Gallery in Winnetka. Zia's small space houses the work of 19 extraordinary artists. I have followed their works for several years, have purchased a few pieces, and cherish every opportunity to see new additions. Without fail, my visits there are enriched by talking to Anne Hughes, who not only can illuminate her own creative process, but is as intimately familiar with every other artist's work as with her own. Visit Zia's website to see examples. Then adopt one of their artists. You don't have to spend a fortune. The pieces I have bought at this gallery have ranged from $200 to $1200 and I cherish them. Others I've admired cost much more. Buy what you can afford, but don't let these vibrant galleries die. Just. Do. It.
