Welcome to the Galleria 1712 website.  We are a true co-op Galleria serving Chicago’s creative community as well as vendors who bring arts and crafts to our area.  Galleria 1712 was founded in November of 2008 by brother and sister, Edward Neri and Teresa Ciucci.  Edward, a building contractor by trade, has had a lifelong appreciation for art and those who create it.  Teresa, an artist herself, was a major force in the conception of Galleria 1712 and is also an exhibitor at the Galleria.  As a team, the two explored several ideas on how to connect with the art community as well as offering quality products and services to the art and handmade creative goods consumer.   

Galleria 1712 is located in the Wicker Park/Bucktown area at 1712 W. North Ave. right in the heart of one of the busiest shopping districts in Chicago.  The Galleria is divided up into separate booth and wall spaces allowing each artist or vendor to decorate and style their area to accent whatever products they are exhibiting.  The vendors at Galleria 1712 offer a wide range of creative goods including paintings, photography, handmade jewelry, crafts and home décor.  The Galleria is also the home of some exciting fashion designers who offer one-of-a-kind clothing and accessories. 

If it is art for your walls, a unique gift or that little something to brighten up your home or office, Galleria 1712 is the perfect shopping destination!
