Gallery Guichard Review

Great black owned venue. I've attended a few events here. Very spacious and showcasing some of the best African American artists the city has to offer. The location is a great choice in the sense that it makes art and the art community easily accessible to the south side residents ; an effort to be more inclusive.

Amazing place, beautiful art work, great atmosphere

Great show today featuring Charity White! Super nice conversation with Frances Guichard!

A gem in the heart of the South Side. Beautiful artwork and really cool space.

Enjoyed seeing the beautiful art and I liked that I was able meet and converse with the artist.

This gallery is truly a hidden gem on the south side of Chicago. It has a great atmosphere and beautiful mind invoking artwork. My visits have always left me inspired.
To the writer of the one bad review I see here, I must say. Do some research on Ti-Rock and her accomplishments, Go read her statement.
I applaud her. She stands for unity between the races.
If you're not part of the solution...

Took my Boo Thang to see "Nigerian Connection" and had an amazing time! The artwork and hospitality is always on point!

Very nice and comfortable, the pantings were amazing.Nice venue for a party.

Very spacious and a good place to host company events.

Great addition to the neighborhood. Amazing art by local artists.

Go visit. Malcolm X is made with plastic toy soldiers

Love the gallery space, and lots of parking for clients.

NIU alum with fantastic art in the heart of Bronzeville. African American small business entrepreneur.

I like the gallery I have been there a few times now. Connect to their website for events free and paid. They both are great.i also like and love the concept of living space above the gallery for artist.but the floors in the above apts are not suited for a working artist. They are too nice.

Great place to take your spouse very lovely art work will come again!

Amazing collection of work from resident artist, although a temporary exhibit brought me to Gallery Guichard. A gem nestled right in Bronzeville.

Delighted in the NigeriaConnection opening exhibit, hearing from the gifted artsts, pallete pleasing nigerian food, and warmest welcomes by owners Andre & Florence. Returned on Friday for the last leg of the Bronzeville Trolley Tour and back to Gallery Guichard for an evening of dance indoors and out.

Spacious, vibrant and sacred ground to revive your artistic genes through the displayed works of local and other artists.

Some of the most beautiful artistry by great artists and a wondrous ambiance that's available to rent for parties and private events!

Gallery Guichard is the premier art gallery for African American and Black Art. The gallery is owned and run by Andre Guichard and Frances Guichard who are husband and wife. The Famous Andre Guichard is available by appointment only.

I finally went to visit the new location of Gallery Guichard. It was formerly located at 35th & King Dr. It has moved to 47th & Vincennes which one block east of King Drive. The new gallery is spacious. I had to just sit on one of their comfy sofa and take it all in. You can meander there admiring art and still not see everything. Andre and his wife Frances have truly uplifted Bronzeville with inspirational art center.

I've been here for the Bombay Sapphire art contests and it was pretty cool. For larger events, it can be cramped but the space is nice and divided over multiple floors.

Wonderful art work. Very nice settings for art and knowledgeable staff.

This was a great experience. I strongly suggest you visit the gallery the works of art more do than make you think they really move your soul

It was such a nice art, and such a beautiful place to visit!!!

We came here to celebrate a sister having a cd release party! The actual venue was small but full of energy and beautiful artwork. The party was held on their rooftop, it's only 2 stories so it's not to bad for the people afraid of heights. You do have to get buzzed in and be quick enough to open both doors or at least make sure you have another person with you. I definitely suggest people visit this gallery and that they have more events to bring more attention to this stunning atmosphere of a place. Lastly but not least, Analogsoul was beautiful, amazingly phenomenal and did a fantastic show!

I live original artwork. This treasure is in the Bronzeville area & features local artists throughout. I love this atmosphere.

Simply Amazing! I've had the opportunity to meet the Awesome owners and tour this breathtaking gallery filled with the most Extraordinary pieces of art from some of the Coldest artists in the world. Thank You for being soo kind to my daughter (Tot) and I wish yall much more success (Chef Royce)

Beautiful artwork and the Guichard's are a lovely couple. Great atmosphere for a party.

Buy Art Not Drugs... The proprietors at Gallery Guichard are dedicated to educating the public on fine art. There's always an amazing event to celebrate the arts with ample opportunity to purchase. I love it!

A diamond in the rough. Beautiful beautiful art and a wonderful space

Love this spot - showcases those who may not normally get showcased.

I was there first an after work event. Its a beautiful space with positive energy. I got a chance to look around and the paintings were beautiful....expensive but beautiful.

Beautiful artwork, beautiful people gathering for positive uplifting events

Ti-Rock , a white woman artist for New Orleans is displaying a three dimensional image of Mike Browns Body. Andre Guichard and the artist are praised as courageous for this non artistic lifesized diorama. I hear folks here in Ferguson say this is disrespectful and for this to be about "conversations" and "healing" are horrifically misguided. Is there time for you to reconsider this exhibit? #shutitdown #really Ms Leslie, who remains unnamed as Mike Brown's Mother, is expected to see this? Please take a look at white supremacy is and see if your co-opting of this artistic "opportunity" fits under any semblance of appropriate behavior. I realize the Guichards are Black. #whitesupremacy ensares all of us in a system, a system where it is ok for a white woman to attempt to lead conversations on matters that she cannot possibly speak authentically, think Rachel Dolezol most recently. #erasure and disrespect of the black experience fall under this supremacy

It was great to see the local artists being supported here. There was a wonderful array of black art styles that were inspiring. And as an Native /Black/American Artist, that's a resident in the bronzville area I can walk for blocks and be there so wonderful. Keep up the great work gallery guichard.

Dahveed.

It's the hottest thing going in Chicago you will be soon surprised.

This gallery is filled with the art and soul of emerging artists. The gallery sits in the historical Bronzeville area of Chicago. Francis and Andre are also philanthropists who recognize those committed to the community.

One of my favorite Bronzeville spots! Supporting local talent in a nicely crafted space is a win-win. You can also host private events here in which the ambience makes for the perfect setting for those laced with class.

Excellent place to find artwork from the African diaspora. Also a diverse group exhibts there as well.

Very nice place love the art work and good place to have a special event.

Attended a 50th birthday party at the gallery. It is easy to get to. Street parking is available. Exquisite pieces of art displayed and for sale. Open spaces available to customize any party.

Good place for art exhibition, with great compilation of art works. Perfect place for party! Nappi hour was lit

Amazing art. I love Andre the owner. He is unbelievable as far as community organization and giving back to the community and community involvement. There is also an outside space that you really have to see to believe.it is definitely worth the trip down to 47th Street

The art is very nice. The space is very nice. I've been to both public and private events here. Very nice space to rent and hold fly events.

A very beautiful art gallery I spoke with the owner very nice person a great place to throw any type of event

The art displayed is wonderful. The place is designed well.

Great gallery, my Daughters K.Si'mone's art was in the Gallery DST event

This place is just beautiful with Black art! I was just happy to be there. We rent the space for an event and it was so perfect. Very large space great staff! Will recommend for event AND for the art!

The artwork is breathtaking, and the ambiance amazing. A must visit

***OVER CHARGED DURING A PANDEMIC ***
This facility charged us $2K to rent this facility for 200 guests. Once COVID hit we asked for a refund & got the run around. So we kept the venue & then were told we could only have 50 guests but they never offered to adjust the price even though they could NOT accommodate our original request. After some serious negotiating they finally took off $500.
TODAY I find out that a family friend rented this same facility for $500.
This facility has no tables, chairs, kitchen (sink & microwave only) so I'm trying to figure out what this $2K is for? Want to bring your own liquor? THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL FEE! Seems like we got taken advantage in the middle of a pandemic. NOT COOL! WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS HERE AGAIN.

Nice gallery, modern art is alive here, really nice and informative staff. Easy to park and good planned floors. Clean restrooms p. Will be back for sure

Fantastic,energizing,inviting,mind expanding and beautiful!
Definitely will be visiting again!
The area is benefiting from the Gallery Guichard being there.
Thank you for the experience.
