      Amazing free art gallery!

      Super easy parking. I did go when it was pretty empty but all the employees were nice. Incredible art on display. Loved the Peter Fetterman Photo Exhibit!

      Nice complex, a great example of huge industrial space turned artistic! I haven't been at Bergamot Station since before the pandemic so it was nice to check out again and explore all the nice exhibits within this complex of art galleries.

      There is parking and also a subway stop close by, very nice now, didn't have that before!

      The space is almost like a museum, vast, wide array of artwork, various styles. There is also a cafe if you get hangry or need a break in action!

      Nice artspace, great to be back!

      We hadn't been here in many years. My hubby is good and remembered the place. Bergamot Station houses several art galleries. There are many galleries next to each other. There are a few more galleries across the parking lot. The location of the galleries make it easy for a visitor to walk to each.
      There are restrooms to use and you must ask staff for the door code to enter. The staff are happy to share the code.
      Large free outdoor parking area. Free WiFi in portions of the area.

      I almost missed the start of the play that I had paid $60 for because none of the approximately 5 merchants knew where are the City garage playhouse was on the premises. Even worse, nobody thought to put up a sign pointing to its location.

      Pretty cool place! I went for the Fall gallery open for one of the galleries. Supposedly the whole place was a huge family fun day but we were pretty busy that day and ended up showing up at 8:30 when everything was closing at 9. There was still a lot of people hanging out drinking and checking out the art. The art was cool, the gallery had some cool circular stairs leading to a second floor of art and they also had a gift shop at the bottom. Nice place to come hang with friends if you want a more mello vibe. They had some live music in one of the rooms with people watching but I was not allowed in because of the time I guess. I'm not 100% sure but it's fine, we were there a half hr before closing so I'm thinking it was that. Overall pretty cool place to hang out

      During my first visit I walked in to 4 different art galleries in Buildings A & B. Each art gallery was unique and mesmerizing, even the art directors were super welcoming and friendly! Also, lots of FREE parking and the security guard watching over the parking lot was a super dope dude. I definitely have to come back to check out the rest of the galleries since bergamot is huge, you definitely have to plan to be here for an entire afternoon to explore all of the art. I'm so glad this place exists!

      Went there on a Saturday night when galleries were all open and the parking situation was a nightmare. Had to park half a mile away. Regarding art, I didn't love anything.

      Awesome gallery! Lots of cool exhibits to see.

      Parking
      Free parking in the back - drive to Michigan Avenue past Headspace and Birdie G's. I entered Gallery Anais into my GPS to get to the parking lot and that worked perfectly.

      No Crowds
      It was pretty quiet around 11am on a Saturday.

      Security
      They had a couple cop cars in the parking lot.

      Covid-19 safety measures
      Some galleries required masks even with a vaccine while others did not.

      Final verdict
      Loved it! Cool exhibits and free parking is a win for me!
