Susan was so easy and wonderful to work with, and lined up a great tour for our out-of-town Museum fundraising group of women. Highly recommend!

Chicago is known for its art venues and exhibitions, but aside from the major institutions within the city, knowing where to go isn't always a simple matter. When I traveled to Chicago for the first time, I wanted to learn about the different arts districts the city had to offer. Susan Streicher was recommended to me as someone to contact to learn more about this. I could not have been more pleased with my visit with Susan. She was professional, personable, and commanded a deep understanding of the city's galleries and artists. With Susan as a guide, I was able to visit with a local artist in her studio and visit several galleries in different locations around Chicago. Because of Susan I have a far greater grasp of how the art exhibition seasons work in the city, where to go to see art, and some of the more recent trends happening around town. If you need a guide in your Chicago arts explorations, Susan Streicher is the person to speak to!

I have been a friend and art patron of Susan Eisenberg Streicher for almost 20 years. As a person Susan is smart, capable, honest and dependable. As an Art Tour Guide, I have been on about 10 of Susan's Art Tours over the past decade and each one has been fabulous! Fun, interesting, and a great value for the money. Susan preps well for the tour and either she has arranged for a guest speaker (i.e. the gallery owner or the artist himself) or Susan talks about the artist and his/her works, background, inspiration etc. Susan's background knowledge of the art world in Chicago makes these tours even more interesting because she compares one artist's work with others that we have seen on the tours.
Additionally, I have used Susan as a consultant for purchasing several pieces of art. Each time within weeks of my purchase the artist has been featured in some mass media art publication as "someone to watch" !
I highly recommend Susan for conducting art tours. I know you will love her as a person and art expert like I do.

Susan Streicher and I met as art history majors at the University of Wisconsin. We forged a relationship that has lasted over 30 years. In that time I have been a lucky attendee of many art tours that Susan leads throughout Chicago's many wonderful art galleries. She has forged a very close relationship with the important gallerists of the city as well as loyal "tour goers" who I have come to know by experiencing wonderful art together. Not only is Susan knowledgeable about art of all genres, she is also a wonderful hostess as she always plans a lunch after the tours. Anyone who is lucky enough to attend an art tour guided by Susan will be richer for the experience.

Susan is an undiscovered jewel in Chicago. She is extremely knowledgeable about the Chicago art scene. Her tours are very personalized. She can do small group tours, or larger corporate events. We've gone to many art galleries I never would have gone to on my own. On her tours we usually meet an artist, see them in their studio and learn how they go about their craft. We also meet gallery owners and hear their perspective too. I always learn something new. Susan's tours are very current featuring the best shows at the moment. Ideal for anyone who likes art, also excellent for the "something a little different" for client entertaining, or those visitors to Chicago that have already seen the basic sites. Susan is friendly and personable - you'll be glad you went !
