The International Currents Gallery of the John David Mooney Foundation exhibits and offers residencies to international artists whose challenging work push boundaries and explore new territories. Lectures, workshops, and Master Classes are interwoven into Chicago’s diverse creative communities; exhibitions run concurrently in three galleries, each 4,000 sq. ft.
Since 2022, the Foundation’s Art Bridge Fellowships have supported “At-Risk” artists from war-torn countries, including 16 Ukrainian artists and one Palestinian artist from the West Bank.
The Albert I. Goodman Collection of wartime paintings, posters, and drawings from the 1960 and 70’s is on view in the third-floor gallery. This unique and important Collection serves as a study center for Chicago colleges and universities engaging in cross-cultural investigations. Ongoing are the Foundation’s environmental projects helping to control Climate Change in vibrant new ways through Art.
The JDMF is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 educational arts organization.
All events are free and open to the public.
