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 Browns 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

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.

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, thats a resident in the bronzville area I can walk for blocks and be there so wonderful. Keep up the great work gallery guichard. Dahveed.

One of Chicagos hidden gems, this multilevel art gallery is a must for visiting and local art collectors alike. Often the host of lively social events like their annual White Linen night in late summer, it is the home of the best art of the diaspora in Chicago, if not the U.S.

Ive 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.

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