Artem Pop Up Gallery — Local services in Evanston Township

VENDOR REVIEW; As a customer I would give artem 5 stars, the people who own it and work there are really nice and they're artists themselves! the location is great and it's a cute shop.

From an artist's standpoint however.. I would probably only give it 2 or 3 stars, They charge a monthly fee for showcasing work and in addition to that they take a percentage of sales. This is a normal gallery business practice just to be transparent. When I entered into my 3 month contract I had assumed that it would help advertise my artwork and get my name out there after scrolling through their internet presence and instagram feed seeing they had posted about featured artists, but this was unfortunately not the case. When you're entering into your contract you are getting just the little wall in the store, No real added promotion or advertisement of your work. There is a clear bias towards certain artists and their work being prominently featured and focused on vs others being almost ignored. $125 a month with a 3 month minimum (so $375) is not worth the little side wall that nobody will really see. I would say if you're an artist with money to spare you should give it a try but if you're not really well known and are looking to start out this is not the right place. I've added pictures as examples for how they prominently feature certain artists and almost avoid others, I wish I could add video here. (my work is the wall with the gold frame flowers, the gold frame pink background painting, really you just see slivers of it around) My experience showing here was honestly really disappointing and I don't really think it was worth what I had paid which really sucks, some artists get huge attention and...

This is the best art gallery around! They have so much beautiful art from local artists that there is something for everyone! My mom has had her Paris shadow box I bought from here for years, and it is still just as beautiful as when I first purchased it! They also just started hosting art classes which I cannot wait to attend soon! One last thing- the owner Sarita is just the best! She is so kind and an absolute pleasure to be around!! Her daughter Riya, who is also in the business, is also so kind! This is a family business you definitely want...

Now called Artem, this "pop-up" art gallery is under new family-owned management. Mostly local artists rent space to showcase and sell their productions. Excellent selection of high-grade, yet affordable handmade arts and crafts. From wall art to wearable art, they have a wonderful, colorful, varied collection. Very friendly, helpful service.

Located near a coffee shop and across from a large book store and Target, it is a fun place to browse. You can sometimes find on-street parking or park free for 1 hour in the structure...
