Sacred Art

This shop is my go-​to for unique and beautiful gifts. I have a bunch of pieces around my home and I love the looks on my friend’s faces when they open their gifts. It makes me feel good to shop local and homemade — and it’s affordable. The staff is always friendly and helpful in guiding me to the right gifts. Thumbs up.

What a gem! A showcase for Chicago photographer/​artist work. Prints to frame, on canvas, and magnets. Beautiful jewelry. Got a Superman flask (!!), Chicago flag coasters, some fridge magnets. Perfect for ANY kind of gift (birthdays, holidays, housewarmings, gifts for a host/​hostess). I can’t wait to go back!

My husband & I ventured into this store on Sunday. Is a cool store featuring local artists’ works. The pricepoints range from affordable to «I like it, by not THAT much.» it’s also somewhat Chicago centric, making it a great place to find unique Chicago souvenirs (I said UNIQUE — no shotglasses or etchings here) for visitors or for yourself. I purchased 2 post card sized Chicago paintings & a Chicago print poster that I am now in search of a frame for. In excited to display these pieces in my home.

Love this place! A great addition to the neighborhood. There are great things for those looking for Chicago themed gifts, but also a nice selection of things ranging in cups, wall art, kid items, and more. I’ve found many great gifts for friends and family here, and have even received some gifts myself! I will keep coming back, and sending my friends too.

No one reads my reviews. It is what it is. Still, I feel compelled to express my appreciation.
This place and everything in it is fucking cool. Handcrafted materials and artwork fill the walls and tabletops. It is creative, inspirational, understated yet edgy artwork.
I love this place. It is comfortable. It is comfortable in every sense. The artwork and offerings have color abstractions that invite the eye. Too often artwork is done to be noticed and fails because of it.
Prints, canvas, photographic and scrap artwork is on view. The store has a stable of artwork but also seems to have an continual influx of new artists and artwork on display.
Visitors are made aware that the majority if not all the artwork is made and created by local artisans. This is to be noted just as one should be aware to shop local.
Anyway, I will be back.

I walked into this store after noticing some seriously gorgeous work in the window. This store has done of the coolest Chicago related gifts and art I’ve ever seen. Prices can be of shock such as $ 18 for magnets or $ 4 for post cards, but it’s all so unique and beautiful.

Love this shop. I always find unique gifts for friends and family. I have also bought a *few* things for me, too. :) From a little painting of the Chicago skyline to a cup with roller skates to purple pansy earrings, this store has such cool, distinct pieces. And it’s a great place to find larger art by up and coming artists. The staff is always friendly and helpful (even when I came right before closing to get a last minute gift!) Love this place.

I love art galleries — Sacred Art is a great store that displays work of emerging artists. You can purchase some that catches your fancy, and/​or it’s a good place to take a look around and sift through. Friendly people and interesting art pieces, a well-​worth place to stop by if you’re in the neighborhood.

Sacred Art has inspired me to re-​design the basement a.k.a. «man cave,» in our home. But I know my husband would not at all be impressed by this idea since it’s already decorated with Chicago sports teams memorabilia and other man stuff. After my visit at Sacred Art, I’m definitely going to work in a Chicago theme somewhere in my home.
The Chicago-​themed art is impressive. It’s tasteful, modern, and completely unlike the gigantic glossy posters that are sold so many other places. Sacred Art boasts a great collection that is affordable. The three or four pieces that caught my eye were less than $ 30.
This shop has it all: Chicago themed art, jewelry, candles, baby onesies, even a «Hipster Bingo» game for $ 8.
I purchased a «Chicago Autumn» soy candle for $ 7 as a small housewarming gift. I’m going to start scoping out the wall space in our home to figure out where I can re-​design and add a Chicago theme. My favorite print, done in vintage fonts, would look great in my parents’ bar area, so perhaps I will write Santa a letter.
Shop at Sacred Art. Shop local. Shop affordable!

Great place for unique locally made artistic gifts, picked up a cool little moving diorama for my niece.

This place is amazing! It is my favorite art store in Chicago, and I try to visit every time I’m in town. Tonight was even more amazing than usual because the very kind woman working had just turned the sign to «closed» when we arrived, and saw us dejectedly staring in the window, and she came outside and invited us in. Kindness is typical of the staff, which is awesome. The pieces they carry are always fun and different than anything I’ve seen anywhere else.

I seriously fell in love with nearly everything that they had in this little shop!
We will be back to fill our walls with lots of art from here and can’t wait to see what new jewelry and fun things they have next time we go in.

Having lived in Santa Fe for about three years, I am a sucker for any art gallery that showcases quality work by local artists, especially when the featured artists tackle local themes.
Sacred Art has a nice selection of Chicago-​themed artwork done by local artists. Today, after much deliberation, I bought a giclee of the Chicago Theatre by local artist Anastasia Mak. The style of the print itself is both dark and vibrant, with all the colors of the Chicago Theatre’s lights offset by a dramatic black backdrop. Very cool and moody.
There are several other artists currently featured at this gallery that make extensive use of Chicago themes, including the popular collection of posters of the city divided into its various neighborhoods. These posters are a great way to display the remarkable anatomy of this city. For women, there is also a selection of clothing items for sale, from scarves and hats to different shirts and jewelry. If you are looking for a belt buckle that has the Chicago flag shown prominently on its exterior, then you have come to the right place.
Another great thing about this art gallery is that the staff are pleasant and friendly, without any of that obnoxious condescension you can find at some other art galleries. I have come in here several times over the last year, and during each visit I have been made to feel welcome. If you’re making a visit to Lincoln Square, then you’ll want to check out Sacred Art.

Great place for well-​curated, local art.
They are such a great part of a community that really works hard at being a community.

I am a big fan of local art and I like buying pieces and supporting local artists.
There aren’t any shops like these out in the burbs where I live so I was definitely intrigued when I walked into this store.
They are many different art pieces that you can buy at prices that can fit all budgets.
I definitely like the Chicago themed art and would like to buy something like that for my home once I save up more money.
The shop worker on the Saturday I visited was friendly and helpful.
I will definitely pop back in when in the area to see what else is new since the stock changes often.

I love art. Especially when it’s local and I can afford it.
This is why Sacred Art is one of my favorite places in the square.
There’s tons of really cool pieces from local artists in here. Mugs, small prints, silkscreens, tiles, paintings,…I love this place for gifts. You can find really awesome, personal stuff and not spend an arm and a leg.
In addition to gifts, I love this place for MYSELF. We have several pieces in our house from Sacred Art and we always get compliments on them.
When Sacred Art closed down in Roscoe Village (BACK IN THE DAY) I was so sad, but I am so glad that it was merely relocating and not shutting it’s doors. Side note: Owners are really nice as well. Good people.
Yay for local, awesome art!

If I was a millionaire, I know where a huge chunk of my money would go
—-this store! I love, love, love this store. It’s small with a lot of sweet, creative tresures in every nook and cranny.
But what impresses me most, is the attention to detail and follow up on their end when it comes to customer service.
I frequent this store often, although it’s not in my neighborhood to see if they have anything new. I had my eye on this copper bracelet that had an imprint of a map into the Loop via the redline & brownline. I thought to myself, ‘Oh I don’t have the money right now, I’ll come back.’ Well, when I came back a week later they were ALL gone! I was so bummed and disappointed when I found out they were sold out. The lady behind the counter offered to take my number and call me if they get anymore in.
3 weeks later, after I had totally forgotten about giving her my number, I get a random call from her telling me the bracelets were in. She offered to hold one for me, and I told her I’d be in Saturday to pick it up.
I went in on the Saturday, purchased my stylin’ piece of art, and now I’m wearing it all over the Chi. I get compliments daily.
You can’t beat that kind of customer service!

Another reason why I love this store. I moved to Australia, and an item I bought from them got damaged during the move. I wanted to make insurance claims (I had insurance on my shipping), and did not have the receipt for the item. So I emailed Sarah and she was able to look up the invoice and send me a copy so I can make a proper insurance claim.
Now I’m just hoping to hear from the insurance company on when I’ll get my money

If I had more money, I’d spend it all here. Sacred Art boasts a great collection of Chicago-​themed art. I’ve bought a few smaller pieces from them, and will one day buy more. Of course it’s a bit pricey, but you are definitely paying for quality. Everything they have is beautiful and made meticulously and precise.
My one qualm is that while they have Cubs, Sox, Bears and Bulls art, there’s a severe lack of Chicago Blackhawks art :(

Sarah is cute, friendly, funny and manages to make you feel welcome.
One step inside you’re instantly compelled to buy things because you know that they’re all local Chicago artists, but also because they are beautiful pieces that are AFFORDABLE.
Ceramics, painting, prints, sock monkeys and more.
I listened to Sarah explain to a patron the best way to frame a piece he had brought in. This woman knows what she’s doing.
There’s also a lovely place in the sun to sit in.
