Allan and team are wonderful to work with! We have bought a few pieces from the artists that he works with and have been trilled with the quality of the art, and service from his team. The gallery is open, with great lighting to evaluate the art pieces. I would highly recommend setting up an appointment or stopping by during their regular hours to enjoy the space, art, and team at VSG. Thank you all and I look forward to the upcoming displays!

  • Stephanie Seweryn

Love this space! Features a huge variety of local artists + makes the buying process super easy (especially for first time buyers like me). There’s never any pressure - I just came to appreciate the work but fell in love with a piece. The owner Allan was super helpful + made sure I was comfortable with + excited for my purchase. And framed it on site! Plus, some very fun events. Highly recommend even if you’re not looking to buy right now.

  • Jordan Marks

This is truly a revolutionary art gallery. From the anti-stuffy vibes to the owner creating an awesome frame that allows you to easily collect and display works from the countless artists he works with, A Very Serious Gallery is worth not just one stop but many. I am excited to go back to this beautiful space often to view and buy unique pieces. A Very Serious Gallery is great place to 'hang' on Thursdays nights and weekends!

  • Samantha Sklar

VSG is not only a gallery, but an awesome community space that is hip and welcoming. The artists featured are extremely diverse, and the events are always a good time. Even if you aren't looking to buy art it's worth it to go to mingle or bring a cute date. The gallery owner tells the worst jokes, but they get better every time he tries so just be a little patient with him.

  • Heather Budimulia

This is a gallery that always has something going on and a place you just want to stop by to see what's new. The work ranges across different styles and price points, appealing to both emerging and established collectors. Allan aka Bergart is friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about art. And he really knows how to bring people together and throw a party!

  • Allie Hennard

A Very Serious Gallery is amazing and Allan is just the best to work with! We’ve been able to learn so much about the art world, meet many of the artists, and make our home beautiful in the process. Investing in local artists is an investment in your community and there isn’t a better place to do that than VSG. 100% please go!

  • Mike Anderson

VSG has been an incredible addition to the neighborhood! From the moment you walk in the door you feel welcomed. The owner, Allan, is the most passionate person I’ve ever met and it shows in everything he does at VSG. Huge shoutout to Allan & his team for creating this amazing spot in Chicago.

  • Kyle Welter

I’m in the dentist chair getting my wisdom teeth out and the only thing bringing me joy is the thought of swinging through VSG this Thursday. Love the gallery, the programming, Allan, and all of the people that it brings together. Come through, buy art, and support artists.

  • Rachel Traurig

I've been to this gallery three times since it opened, and the owner Allan is always very welcoming and engaging in learning what type of art attracts you. He has curated offbeat exhibits that everyone can find enticing. Add this to your list of things to do this fall!

  • Michael McFarland

Awesome ambience and very friendly people. I've gone a few times to look around or partake in the fun activities on Thursday nights, and I ended up collecting some of the coolest emerging art at a great price. Amazing spot to take a date, or to stop by on a dog-walk!

  • Suman Bandi

A welcome departure from the typical art gallery. The first show showcased a good variety of different artists and styles. The space is very inviting and the owner is clearly passionate, knowledgeable, and available to answer any questions. Worth a visit!

  • Jeremiah

Super chill gallery! Just saw the latest showcase and loved all the work. Wide range of art from abstract modern painting to clean photography. Shout out to Mike Ando for his killer Chicago Resident series. Definitely recommend checking out!

I’ve been in a few times - I love the variety and welcoming atmosphere. You can tell the owner Allan is knowledgeable but takes pride in serving a wide range of collectors/price points. Good place to stop in on a date.

This is a really fun spot, with terrific local art, interesting events and a welcoming staff. It's a great addition to the Chicago art scene, a great date spot and a place to find affordable but amazing original art.

Not only does the gallery show a variety of media, materials, and themes, but the owner works super hard to host events and create a welcoming space for all! This is a great space for the community and neighborhood.
