Intuit Art Museum (IAM) champions the diverse voices of self-taught art, welcoming both new and familiar audiences. Located in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood, Intuit is a premier museum of self-taught art. IAM collects and exhibits work by artists who often work outside the mainstream due to societal, economic, or geographic barriers that have prevented them from pursuing formal training in the arts. Yet, they have developed a sustained artistic practice. The museum’s mission is grounded in the ethos that the instinct to create is universal, and the arts must embrace, represent and be accessible to all.


Explore our special exhibitions, the Intuit Art Museum permanent collection and an evocation of artist Henry Darger’s studio apartment. Alongside exhibitions focused on self-taught art, we invite you to discover new ways of connecting with creativity.


Throughout the year, Intuit Art Museum hosts talks, performances, film screenings, workshops and other interactive experiences in our Center for Learning and Engagement (CLEO), our galleries and the Learning Studio for you to dive deeper into art at the Museum.


New things are always happening at IAM. Visit our website to view the full calendar of events.

Life is an Art: The Collection of Jan Petry highlights 30 artworks donated to IAM by the late, long-time board member Jan Petry. Curated by IAM Chief Curator Alison Amick, the exhibition showcases paintings, drawings, and sculptures by major figures in American self-taught art, including Emery Blagdon, James Castle, Ulysses Davis, Charles Dellschau, William Hawkins, and Martín Ramírez, as well as Günther Schützenhöfer, a resident artist at Gugging, a progressive art studio in Austria. Those artworks are complemented by objects that reflect Petry’s passion for folk art, design, furniture, and maritime themes, offering a glimpse into the vision of a dedicated collector.

Cutting and Pasting a World: The Paper Craft of Henry Darger April 22, 2026 to January 31, 2027 IAM joins in the celebration of the 250th anniversary celebration of American craft, Handwork 2026, organized by Craft in America, with an exhibition exploring the connection between Henry Darger’s art and traditional American paper crafts. Drawing on research by guest curator and art historian Dr. Mary Trent(College of Charleston), the exhibition illustrates how the turn-of-the-century practices of making paper dolls and paper dollhouse scrapbooks may have influenced Darger’s evolution as an artist and maker. By showcasing both finished artworks and original source materials, the exhibition demonstrates how Darger adapted these humble pastimes into sophisticated methods for constructing large-scale, mixed-media narratives. The exhibition provides context for these crafts within the early 20th-century movement to instill middle-class American \"taste\" in a burgeoning immigrant population. Likely exposed to these practices within social welfare institutions as a child, Darger ultimately subverted them—transforming decorative domestic crafts into a profound and complex commentary on the vulnerabilities of marginalized children.

Dr. Charles Smith served as a U.S. Marine in Vietnam, an experience that left lasting wounds and shaped his artistic vision. In the 1980s, he began transforming his Aurora, Ill., home into the African-American Heritage Museum and Black Veterans Archive—a monumental environment of nearly 600 sculptures and 150 monuments honoring African-American history and civil rights. Using found materials, Smith created life-sized figures and symbolic structures referencing slavery, the Middle Passage, the Underground Railroad, African American cultural and political figures, and everyday life. Through the concept of anti-monumentalism, Smith critiques traditional monuments and holds space for histories often excluded from civic memory.

Curated by IAM Assistant Curator Christina Stavros, Monumental: The Work of Dr. Charles Smith features pieces from the Museum’s collection alongside select loans, including several recently conserved works now on view for the first time in years.

Karla Wong: Journeys of Being is on view September 3. Wong’s oil paintings are a love letter to her Mexican culture. They are interwoven with her life experiences as a trans woman, a person of Mexican and Chinese heritage, and of the journeys between her homes in the United States and Oaxaca.  

Traditional Oaxacan clothing and landscapes integrated with subtle odes to Chicago landmarks are often included in Wong’s paintings. Symbolic elements are hidden throughout each painting: balloons representing the unborn, birds for male genitalia, and apples and pears for forbidden fruit. Her vivid, dreamlike compositions, which evoke Victorian and Surrealist styles, are interlaced with themes of life and death, self discovery, and gender identity, and frequent portal archway motifs lead to mysterious places. Wong’s work portrays the beauty and harsh realities of being true to oneself. 

“Karla Wong’s paintings are encoded with references to her life experiences as a Mexican immigrant and as a trans woman,” said Christina Stavros, exhibition curator and Intuit’s associate curator. “We’re excited to share this vibrant and important work with our community and hope it inspires reflection, connection and a deeper understanding of Wong’s experiences and perspective.” 

You’re invited to celebrate Karla Wong: Journeys of Being with the artist and the Intuit Art Museum community. 

Enjoy Mexican cocktails, bites, and a live performance by world-renowned singer and friend of the artist, Geo Meneses. After a toast to the artist, make your way to the exhibition to celebrate the work and the artist behind it. 

Museum admission and reception are free.

Curated by Michael Bonesteel

\r\n\r\n

In the juxtaposition of Henry Darger’s art and writings, audiences can explore how the artist approached related subjects in different mediums. Surprising to many, Henry Darger created very few works of art that depict specific episodes from his epic novel, Realms of the Unreal. 

\r\n\r\n

For example, he made numerous captioned references to a fictional location called “Jennie Richee” in his artwork, but there are only occasional brief mentions of this place in the Realms novel. Nothing significant happened at Jennie Richee in the written story, yet there are dozens of scenes depicting events occurring at Jennie Richee in his art. Therefore, it seems likely that his art was an extension of, and an improvisation on, his writing—more than it was an illustration of it.

\r\n\r\n

Similar examinations of Darger’s writings and artwork have been performed in scholarly essays but never presented in a museum or gallery setting where viewers can see an actual work of art next to a facsimile of a corresponding page of text. In fact, pages from the Realms are almost never exhibited except for the occasional display of a Realms volume from the permanent collection of the American Folk Art Museum, so it is a rare opportunity to see Darger’s art and read his words in one and the same viewing.

\r\n\r\n

As a jumping-off point, Unreal Realms takes the world Henry Darger imagined in his Tolkien-esque novel, In the Realms of the Unreal, and provides a view into the otherworldly places created in the artworks of Adolf Wölfli, A. G. Rizzoli, Charles A. A. Dellschau, Ken Grimes and Darger. The nature of these works, which often are described as “visionary,” call attention to their makers’ sensibilities and outlooks.

\r\n\r\n

“The focus of this exhibit is to posit a group of artists, like Henry Darger, whose body of work was a narrative of an alternative reality,” said Jan Petry, who co-curated the exhibit with David Syrek.
\r\n
\r\nAccording to the art critic and author of the exhibit’s accompanying essay, Edward Gomez, “To encounter even a single image by any one of these artists, all of whom were or are primarily picture-makers, is to enter into the distinctive, imaginary world to which each one of them gave lasting, visible form.”

\r\n\r\n

Henry Darger was a native Chicagoan who spent part of his youth consigned to an "Asylum for Feeble-Minded Children" in Lincoln, Ill. As a young adult, he returned to Chicago, where he got a job as a janitor and lived a mostly-reclusive life in a one-room apartment in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. Upon his death, Darger's landlords discovered something incredible: a striking 15,000-page graphic novel entitled In the Realms of the Unreal. The story chronicles the seven Vivian Girls, who lead a bloody rebellion against the child slavery of the evil Glandolinean Army. In spring 2000, Intuit took possession of the contents of Darger’s living and working space, which was installed as a permanent exhibition in 2008. Intuit’s Henry Darger Room Collection includes tracings, clippings from newspapers, magazines, comic books, cartoons, children’s books, personal documents, and architectural elements, fixtures, and furnishings from Darger’s original room. 

\r\n\r\n

In 2017, Intuit celebrates the 125th anniversary of Henry Darger’s birth with Chicago’s Henry Darger, a yearlong series of exhibitions and programming. From its extensive collection of Darger’s source materials, Intuit has selected examples to highlight, some of which are on permanent view as part of the Henry Darger Room Collection. The use of source materials was central to Darger’s process. He carefully selected and traced images (from sources such as the coloring book pages on view)and reconfigured them to create new compositions: horns from a ram appear on his fantastical blengins, while images of young girls playing and engaging in daily activities become inspiration for the Vivian Girls and children in his narratives. The imaginative world of Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum, Darger’s Roman Catholic faith, the weather, and the battle scenes and regalia of the American Civil War count among the artist’s diverse influences. Compare the source materials on view in this gallery with the original art work by Darger in the nearby exhibitions.

The next installment of our FLAK Performance Series features High Concept Labs, an organization that provides Chicago artists with flexible, affordable space. Join up for an artistic dialogue and unforgettable experience with High Concept Labs.

\r\n\r\n

Mariel Harari is a multimedia artist working in installation, fiber, video, sculpture and performance. She utilizes bright, tactile materials reminiscent of childhood, employing playful splendor as a lure. Harari creates immersive environments that blend autobiographical and fantastical narrative, often utilizing herself as a subject in conjunction with imagined creatures or landscapes. Using meticulously beaded encrustations on nuanced human skin or stuffing heaps of unruly yarn in shiny, clear encasements, Harari’s work balances between containment and chaos.  She explores the relationship between societal constructs and uninhibited experience, with a focus on expectations placed on women and the internalized battle between pure and manipulated behavior.

\r\n\r\n

Harari earned her B.S. in Studio Art from Skidmore College, where she received the Marguerita Mergentime Award in Fiber Art. Her work has been exhibited at venues including A.I.R Gallery and has been reviewed in publications including Brooklyn Magazine. Harari attended residencies at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, the Vermont Studio Center, and she is currently a sponsored artist at High Concept Labs. Harari co-founded of the Chicago chapter of  Lady Art Nation, an intersectional and gender expansive feminist collective of creatives. She was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and currently lives and works in Chicago, IL.

Curated by Leisa Rundquist

\r\n\r\n

Henry Darger’s Vivian girls and the thousands of others in his make-believe world exist in contradictory states; Darger positions these little “girls” somewhere between male and female, both biologically and socially. The Vivian girls’ ambiguous gender speaks broadly, and with rich complexity, to culture’s polarizing constructions of child/adult and male/female. Darger plays with these polarities and fabricates an extraordinary “child” beyond nature—capable of defeating bloodthirsty Glandelinians.

\r\n\r\n

Visually, this plucky band of seven sisters are appropriated from popular images of childhood from early to mid-20th century American coloring books, comic strips and clothing advertisements. Darger, however, complicates their seemingly cute and innocent bodies with hand-drawn additions of male anatomy—a characteristic of “girls” in Darger’s fictional world that remains unexplained.  The Vivian girls’ intersexual nature and frequent nudity is certainly one of the most significant, yet puzzling, aspects of Darger’s art.

\r\n\r\n

The exhibition features major works by Henry Darger that include double-sided, panoramic drawings with watercolor and collage spanning up to eight feet long, Vivian portraits, as well as traced images and resource materials from Intuit’s archives.

\r\n\r\n

Special thanks to the American Folk Art Museum, New York, for its generous loans of Henry Darger artworks and archives.

On May 16, thousands of Chicago area residents will pull up a chair at On the Table gatherings like ours to discuss the future of our communities while sharing a meal together. Residents from all ages and backgrounds will come together to put real issues and solutions "on the table."
\r\nOur conversation will focus on LGBTQ inclusivity in Chicago's cultural institutions. Facilitated by Columbia College professor and filmmaker Dan Rybicky, this roundtable discussion will allow attendees to share experiences, address challenges and propose solutions to overcoming barriers existing within our city's institutions.

Famed self-taught artist Henry Darger created a fantasy world of vivid imagery and mystery exploring a range of themes including gender, childhood, and sexuality. While Darger did not show his work to anyone before he died, insights can be drawn from the work and manuscripts he left behind. What are the possibilities and social nuances of reading Darger’s work? How can analyzing his work bring justice to a marginalized voice in gender re-construction? Panelists will discuss a variety of approaches to engaging Darger’s work as it addresses gender, childhood, and sexuality. Panelists include Leisa Rundquist, curator of Betwixt and Between: Henry Darger’s Vivian Girls, Adam Greteman, director of the Master of Arts in Teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Rev. M Barclay, provisional deacon and Director of Communications at Reconciling Ministries Network.

\r\n\r\n

In conjunction with the exhibition, Betwixt-and-Between: Henry Darger’s Vivian Girls, guest curator, Leisa Rundquist explores aspects of gender conformity and transgression in the Realms of the Unreal.  Juxtaposing the artist’s favored images of little girls from pop culture and his transformation of these representations into nude children with intersexed characteristics, Rundquist locates ways in which girlhood is constructed, resisted, and even transcended in Darger’s art.

\r\n\r\n

Intuit’s exhibition Henry Darger’s Orphans and the Construction of Race centers on Darger’s late collages, which include photographic reproductions of Asian “war-orphans” in Korea and Vietnam. The collages offer an anguished reflection on the complicated aftermath of war, representations of race and ethnicity, Darger’s thwarted real-life attempts to adopt a child, and his own victimization as an orphan and reveals how the United States constructed race, particularly whiteness, and childhood.

\r\n\r\n

In addition to Darger’s collages incorporating Asian children, the exhibition includes personal documents about his desire to adopt, Catholic ephemera focusing on adoption, white orphans in comics, and a variety of source material from coloring books, advertisements, and newspapers depicting Asian and Native American children, and people of color. Darger’s collection of source material and his reappropriation of those images into the collages provides an understanding of society’s views on race, class, gender and commodification during the mid-20th century.

\r\n\r\n

War has impacted artists across time — from the classically trained to those who turned to art therapy to cope with post-traumatic stress disorder. Darger + War: Violence and Loss in Self-Taught Art explores the complex intersection of art and war through the lens of self-taught art, and investigates war as a narrative, as experience, and as a state of mind.

\r\n\r\n

The world of Henry Darger (1892-1973) was fraught with war. During his lifetime, the United States fought in numerous wars: the Spanish–American War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Though Darger never saw conflict or served abroad (he was drafted in 1917 and honorably discharged three months later), his artworks both anticipate and reflect the violence of warfare. Darger had a lifelong avid interest in the American Civil War, one inspiration for his 15,000-page good-versus-evil novel known as In the Realms of the Unreal, which chronicles a conflict of Darger’s making, the Glandeco-Angelinian War, in which the seven Vivian Girls are heroines in the war against child slavery.

\r\n\r\n

The private nature of Darger’s “historical” war contrasts with the public nature of Dr. Charles Smith’s African American Heritage Museum & Black Veterans Archive, first created in Aurora, Illinois, and, later, in a second environment in Hammond, Louisiana. The Archives were created to memorialize African Americans who perished in Vietnam and to commemorate and educate visitors about African American history and civil rights issues. His complex, built environment—both narrative and immersive—turns toward history and shared memory as a direct result of Smith’s Vietnam War experience.

\r\n\r\n

What is it about war and its aftermath that compels artists to create? Despite never having served in combat, Darger reflects the realities experienced by many touched by war. Betty Zakoian, Rosemarie Koczÿ and Roy Ferdinand turned to art to remember those who had perished and to commemorate the experience of the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust and New Orleans street violence, respectively. Veterans Bill Crist, Richard Saholt and Gregory Van Maanen turned to image manipulation and art making as a means of processing their experiences and posttraumatic stress disorder.

\r\nThis exhibition is not intended to be a comprehensive exploration of war and self-taught art but, rather, to prompt all of us to ask questions and explore the inner-connectedness of humankind.

Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art presents Dapper Bruce Lafitte: Kingpin of the Antpin, a solo exhibition of eight drawings by Dapper Bruce Lafitte, the artist formerly known as Bruce Davenport, Jr. Please join us for the opening reception on Friday, October 13. Lafitte will give a talk beginning at 7 p.m. 

\r\n\r\n

From 2006-2015, Bruce Davenport, Jr., depicted “the culture,” primarily that of New Orleans: the marching bands of public and parochial schools, Mardi Gras Indians, and street scenes. In the second decade of his career, Dapper Bruce Lafitte, as he is now known, is taking on “the history”: Civil War battle scenes, the civil rights movement and, in this body of work, Hurricane Katrina. The storm that wracked New Orleans and exposed the federal government’s callous ineptitude also inspired Dapper Bruce to become an artist, and he confronts the event in some of his most personal work to date.

\r\n\r\n

In drawings titled Exodus, No Love for the Poor, My First Time Seeing a M-16 and others, Dapper Bruce presents a visceral document of his experience in the immediate aftermath of the storm. Street scenes show floods of brown water, expressively drawn with marker; the Superdome is depicted as a yellow and gray monolith surrounded by stranded civilians. The crowds for which the Dapper is known are in these works fleeing rather than celebrating, confronting armed guards, and walking along the highway away from the city. Dapper Bruce’s drawings always are laden with text: remembrances to his friends and relatives who died in the storm, shout outs to dead celebrities, commentary on his art career, and blunt political criticism.

\r\n\r\n

Dapper Bruce Lafitte was born and currently resides in New Orleans. A self-trained artist, he began making and showing work in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to commemorate the then-decimated street culture of parades and marching bands of the city. He has exhibited locally, nationally and internationally, notably in the Prospect Biennial, New Orleans, and in solo shows at the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum, Biloxi, MS; Vacant Gallery, Tokyo; Louis B. James Gallery, New York; and Atlanta Contemporary, curated by Daniel Fuller. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Harper’s Magazine and Victory Journal, among others. In 2009, he was a recipient of a Joan Mitchell Foundation artist award.

Eddie Owens Martin (St. EOM) was the creator of Pasaquan, a seven-acre art environment in Georgia. He was born into a sharecropper family, but after running away from home at 14, discovered his passion and abilities for creating art. He was influenced by many artistic traditions, including Mesoamerican, African and eastern art, but the content of his work was constructed from utopian visions.

After attending University of Chicago for just a year, then serving in the United States Navy for four years, Rockford, IL native Stephen Warde Anderson decided he’d spend the rest of his life creating things.

\r\n\r\n

His nontraditional route to uncovering his artistic talents, as well as his skills being entirely self-taught, make Anderson’s work all the more astonishing. Stephen Warde Anderson: Attention to Detail captures the pointillist techniques he employed in his earliest works. Anderson’s art is heavily concentrated in portraits of film stars, famous women and historical subjects. Intuit will be showcasing more than 30 of these paintings, two never-before-seen by the public. Attention to Detail will unite many of his original pieces, as most have been dispersed between private collections.

Pasaquan Director Michael McFalls will discuss Eddie Martin's early years in New York City as a "midnight cowboy-style" street hustler, and other eccentric ways he made ends meet.  Eddie's first Pasaquoyan visions will be explained, including how those visions led to his transformation to the self-anointed St. EOM, which eventually influenced him to move back home to Georgia.

\r\n\r\n

McFalls will present photos of St. EOM's Pasaquan, discuss his process and explain how the images that he created are infused with his early experiences in New York and his interest in ancient civilizations. The discussion will end by covering Eddie's death, the Kohler Foundation restoration of the Pasaquan site in 2015 and the rebirth of Pasaquan since Columbus State University has taken ownership.

What is the link between psychological states and the creative process? Is there a relationship between psychosis and the artistic impulse? Between Madness and Art examines these issues through the story of Dr. Hans Prinzhorn (1886-1933), a German student of psychiatry and art history, and an early recognizer of outsider art. Intuit is hosting this screening in conjunction with Rare Nest Gallery's exhibition Otto Neumann: Modern Degenerate.

Chicago, a long-time hub for outsider art, need only look slightly north to find a strong, like-minded neighbor. With museums, galleries, residents and collectors supporting numerous art environments, roadside attraction sites and art grottos, the state of Wisconsin has proven a fertile home to a number of self-taught creatives. This exhibition showcases five often under-recognized Wisconsin outsider artists. The reception is free and open to everyone! Please bring yourself and your friends to enjoy the art and refreshments.

The work of Philip Carey can be described as colorful, wacky, strange and full of fun. Born in 1942 in Long Beach, Calif., Carey creates art inspired by his dreams and the medical treatments he received between 2004 and 2015. During this period, Carey was diagnosed with heart disease, kidney disease and prostate cancer, and he began collecting the medical ephemera associated with his treatment.

5 Wisconsin artists: Prophet William J. Blackmon, Josephus Farmer, Simon Sparrow, Albert Zahn, and Eugene Von Bruenchenhein

\r\n\r\n

To Be Seen and Heard highlights Wisconsin as a place where art is made, bringing attention to 5 Wisconsin artists: Prophet William J. Blackmon, Josephus Farmer, Simon Sparrow, Albert Zahn, and Eugene Von Bruenchenhein.

\r\n\r\n

These often under-recognized artists/preachers/environment builders created works, not in isolation, but To Be Seen and Heard.  This exhibition will feature nearly fifty paintings, photographs, sculptures, and reliefs. From the signs and religious imagery of Prophet J. Blackmon and Josephus Farmer, to the mixed media constructions of Simon Sparrow, to the carvings of Albert Zahn, and paintings and photographs by Eugene Von Bruenchenhein, the exhibition will highlight the important contribution these artists have made to the art world. Wisconsin has produced and fostered a great number of artists and creative thinkers.

Art After Work is a monthly series of drop-in art making and mingling for young adults (though all are welcome!) inspired by Intuit's exhibitions and the outsider art genre.
\r\n
\r\nSketch in the galleries, then step into our work space to get the creative juices flowing with after-hours refreshments and more maker activities. Materials are provided, though all are encouraged to bring their own sketchbooks, current projects and personal visions. 
\r\n
\r\nArt After Work is held every third Thursday of the month, from 5 to 7 p.m. Join the community by tagging @IntuitArtCenter in your photos with the hashtag #ArtAfterWork

Intuit is proud to partner with NON:op and Bodies of Work to present Inside Out: Narrative in Disability and Outsider Art, a panel discussion that questions the curatorial practice of framing disabled artists as medically pathological “outsiders.” Depictions of disability have always been central to the arts. Actual disabled people, however, rarely control narratives about this imagery. This discussion is part of an international effort to cultivate a middle ground that centers disabled people both inside and outside the arts world as artists, administrators and audiences.

In conjunction with its current exhibition, Philip Carey: Art in my Veins, Intuit welcomes Philip Carey for an artist talk. Philip Carey’s work can be described as colorful, wacky, strange and full of fun. Born in 1942 in Long Beach, California, Carey creates art inspired by his dreams and the medical treatments he received between 2004 and 2015. During this period, Carey was diagnosed with heart disease, kidney disease and prostate cancer, and he began collecting the medical ephemera associated with his treatment. Carey will discuss the experiences that inspired his collages, postal art and dream drawings on view in the exhibition. The talk will conclude with a Q&A session.

In this make-and-take workshop, Philip Carey will help you share your own story through postal art. Enjoy a hands-on session in an informal creative setting with instruction on concept, materials, technique and process. Carey will discuss the experiences that inspired his postal art on view in the exhibition. You will create your own starter pack of original art envelopes using a variety of pencils, pens, markers and colored pencils. Then select one of your envelope designs for a small batch of reproductions, printed on-the-spot to send in the mail to friends, family, or other lucky postal art recipients! All supplies included. Postage will be provided, too!

To Be Seen and Heard brings attention to five often under-recognized Wisconsin artists: Prophet William J. Blackmon, Josephus Farmer, Simon Sparrow, Albert Zahn and Eugene Von Bruenchenhein. These artists, who were preachers, environment builders and multi-media experimenters, created works not in isolation, but “to be seen and heard." Join the curators of the exhibition, Matt Arient and Tim Bruce, for a discussion about the themes and messages that bring this diverse set of artists together.

Curated by Bill Swislow

To say there is a Chicago school of art collecting may be an overstatement, but there does seem to be a Chicago style of collecting, characterized by an acquisitive eye and a hunger to spot creativity wherever and however it turns up, no matter how unlikely the setting and without much regard to anxieties about aesthetic categories or theories.

It’s not hard to draw a direct line from that generosity of taste to the discovery and cultivation of the artists featured in Chicago Calling: Henry Darger, Lee Godie, Wesley Willis, Joseph Yoakum and the others. That line also encompasses a vast number of anonymous creators as well as artists who are known but haven’t won acclaim at the level of these canonical geniuses. This other creativity can be just as striking, and it has found entrée into many collections, if not as many museums.

This style of collecting inspires a certain way of displaying the stuff, epitomized by the homes of such influential artist-collectors as Roger Brown and Ray Yoshida. Quantity makes packing shelves with objects a practical necessity, and those crowded shelves, unified only by the collector’s eye, make an aesthetic statement in their own right. So do the nearby paintings typically hung “salon style,” a euphemism for the kind of high-density display seen in this Chicago We Own It exhibit. That title, it should be said, is inspired by a favorite phrase of canonical Chicago artist Lee Godie, which also serves nicely as a slogan for those Chicago collectors to whose acquisitiveness we owe this show.

Organized and traveled by Intuit, Chicago Calling: Art Against the Flow premiered at Intuit in 2018 and has been extended until September 2021. 

Curated by Kenneth C. Burkhart, an independent curator, and Lisa Stone, curator of the Roger Brown Study Collection of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the exhibition tells this story through the works of 10 Chicago artists: Henry Darger, William Dawson, Lee Godie, Mr. Imagination, Aldo Piacenza, Pauline Simon, Drossos Skyllas, Dr. Charles Smith, Wesley Willis and Joseph Yoakum. 

The selected artists and their works present intrinsic themes, including psychologically-charged tension in oppositions and contradictions; interaction between high style and the vernacular, between nature and culture; drawing on memory and the expressive use of line and form as a survival mechanism; immigration and relocation as a defining experience; surviving the African-American experience; and the power of portraiture as a view into society, psyche and soul. All artists embodied self-invention through their works.

Chicago Calling: Art Against the Flow is part of Art Design Chicago, an initiative of the Terra Foundation for American Art exploring Chicago's art and design legacy, with presenting partner The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation. Intuit has received funding from the Terra Foundation for American Art to support the exhibition, catalog and international travel. Additional catalog funding is provided by the Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation and the Dorothea and Leo Rabkin Foundation.

Teaching artist Chrissy Gray-Rodriguez will lead you in a hands-on workshop as you create your own cathedral (or other structure of your choosing) inspired by the art of Aldo Piacenza!

After a group viewing and discussion of Piacenza’s works in Intuit’s current exhibition, Chicago Calling: Art Against the Flow, you will be guided through step-by-step instructions as you build your structure using cardboard and assorted upcycled materials. After your building is constructed, you will be encouraged to explore your personal style, using Piacenza’s cathedrals as a catalyst, to embellish the exterior architectural details of your design. All supplies are included. No art experience required!

 Please note: This workshop will include the use of sharp cutting tools. Youth registrants under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a registered adult to assist/supervise with cutting tools.

Lunch break: There will be a 45-minute break for lunch starting at 1 p.m. You may bring your own brown bag lunch or step out for a bite to eat at a local café (recommendations can be provided day of).

Chrissy Gray-Rodriguez has been teaching with Chicago Public Schools for over 20 years. She has also taught with the Chicago Park District, After School Matters (formerly Gallery 37) and Hyde Park Art Center. Prior to her path in art education, she received her BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a focus in painting and drawing. Today her body of work encompasses more sculptural and multi-media approaches. This is evident in her jewelry designs which combines ceramic and metal. Since participating in her first Teacher Fellowship Program in 2010, she states the INTUIT has played a huge role in developing her teaching philosophy and curriculum design. \"Exposing my students to artists that characteristically are untrained and often use non-traditional and/or found art mediums, validates that we all are artists. We can make art for ourselves without pressure of worrying about who is the viewer. We can make something amazing out of everyday items that one no longer finds valuable. Art-making can empower us to overcome obstacles and be the vehicle to healing.\"

Intuit is thrilled to partner with Pentimenti Productions to present the Chicago premiere of the digitally restored re-release of 4 Films by Suzanne Simpson, a collection of long-lost documentaries. Each of the four short films by Simpson, a self-taught director, profiles an artist who spent formative time in California during the 1970s, including Mark di Suvero, Roy De Forest, Hassel Smith and local legend Karl Wirsum, who was briefly a visiting instructor at the California State University, Sacramento. Virtually unseen for more than four decades, Simpson's whimsical quartet of archival films captures these artists flourishing amidst the 1970s Bay Area art scene, when Funk art was thriving.

The screening will be followed by a talk-back with Harrison Sherrod, executive director of Pentimenti Productions.

Running time: 60 minutes

The rarely-exhibited works of Chicago-based artists Robert Johnson and E. Nix are at once extraordinary, challenging and filled with moments of great beauty. Despite each artist working in disparate mediums--Johnson is best known for his reverse glass paintings on discarded windows and Nix’s background is in blacksmithing--their art is similarly informed by personal struggles and their daily efforts to overcome trauma and addiction. Johnson and Nix both have devoted followings among primarily African-American collectors in Chicago, but are largely unknown outside these circles, keeping with Intuit’s dedication to highlighting undervalued artists overlooked by the mainstream art world.

Johnson has created reverse oil paintings on found windows since the mid 1990s. For the artist, this method keeps the colors “alive and free” while the glass itself creates a dimension which simultaneously separates viewers from the painting and reflects them within it. His works are marked by a vivid expressiveness and masterful handling of color. Widely collected on Chicago’s south side in the ‘90s and 2000s, Johnson abandoned painting in 2007 to join the army as an extreme form of drug rehab and fiscal support for his family. After serving in Iraq he settled in Colorado for several years. In 2018, he relocated to Chicago and returned to painting, harnessing his highly-developed technical skills and fresh use of unconventional materials to enter into a new phase of artistic creation.

A protégé of the late Erwin Gruen--master blacksmith and founder of Gruen Gallery in River North--Nix is a metal worker and multimedia artist. Initially instructed by Gruen in the process of creating iron furniture, tables, African art stands and pedestals, he has since developed his own distinct aesthetic. Nix is comfortable working in a wide variety of materials, as seen in his steel and polyresin sculptures or his two-dimensional collaged images and acrylics paintings on wood. These visceral works often deal with addiction and dangerous experiences that, in the words of the artist, can either bring about self-destruction or metamorphosis.

Though no artist’s works are bound by their biographies, the challenges both Johnson and Nix face inform their art. They act as catalysts for their creation and appear as their themes. As a result, the art is beautiful, sad, even scary. Despite their power, these works remain largely unseen by the public, providing Intuit an opportunity to again promote talented yet neglected artists, particularly at a time when terms like “folk art” and “outsider art” are being reexamined.

Intuit is offering free admission to all museum guests on the closing weekend of Chicago Calling: Art Against the Flow!
 

Say “Bon Voyage, Chicago Calling” before the Art Design Chicago exhibit begins its journey overseas. Organized and traveled by Intuit, Chicago Calling: Art Against the Flow tours to La Halle Saint Pierre (Paris, March 23–August 2, 2019), the Prinzhorn Collection (Heidelberg, October 16, 2019–February 9, 2020), Collection de l’Art Brut (Lausanne, March 6–August 30, 2020) and Outsider Art Museum (Amsterdam, September 2020–March 2021).

Since Chicago is one of the first cities in the United States to make a place for outsider art, it’s only fitting that we thank Chicagoans with a weekend of celebrating these local artists from the edge! Help us send off the show!

Art After Work is a monthly series of drop-in art making inspired by Intuit’s exhibitions and the outsider art genre.

This month, AAW is heading offsite! While the museum is closed to the public for installation of our upcoming exhibition Susan Te Kahurangi King: 1958-2018, we’re joining forces with the folks at Revolution Brewing for a fun filled evening of crafting and craft beers. Cheers!

Art materials are provided, though all are encouraged to bring their own sketchbooks, current projects and personal visions. To help you get the creative juices flowing, you can enjoy drinks from the cash bar in Revolution’s German beer hall-inspired tap room.

Art After Work is held every third Thursday of the month from 5 to 7 p.m. Join the community by tagging @IntuitArtCenter in your photos with the hashtag #ArtAfterWork

Art After Work is held the third Thursday of every month

FREE RSVP

Art After Work is a monthly series of drop-in art making inspired by Intuit’s exhibitions and the outsider art genre.

This month at AAW, we’ll be joined by artists Robert Johnson and E. Nix from Intuit’s exhibition, Creative Impulse: Works by Robert Johnson and E. Nix. You'll be able to create art right alongside the artists, in the very space where their works are hung on view! 

Sketch in the galleries, then step into our work space to get the creative juices flowing with after hours refreshments, collaging, painting and more maker activities. Materials are provided, though all are encouraged to bring their own sketchbooks, current projects and personal visions.  

Art After Work is held every third Thursday of the month. Join the community by tagging @IntuitArtCenter in your photos with the hashtag #ArtAfterWork

Opening Reception is Free & Open to the Public

Celebrate the exhibit’s opening night with time to engage with the artworks, and the chance to meet the exhibit’s curator, Jamillah Hinson. Light bites and beverages will be provided.

This Stillness is an exploration into the complexities of Black girlhood and womanhood and the quiet reflections of self that arise from these circumstances. The exhibition goes beyond the contemporary use of a traditional Black American art form—assemblage—and delves into themes of autonomy, self-reflection, and the dehumanization of Black women and girls. At the same time, the exhibition serves as an archive of personal, familial and cultural identity.

This Stillness explores mediums often found in the practice of Black American female artists who are re-piecing histories, narratives and memories that were not allowed to flourish in the past. The practices of these artists are the manifestation of the contradictions of living in America while Black and female. Artists Judy Bowman, Tracy Crump and Vanessa German work in drastically different practices—though each evokes strong emotion, displays an understanding of the self and community, and provides a space to examine the fiercely personal narratives that are created.

ABOUT JUDY BOWMAN
Judy Bowman was born on the east side of Detroit, Michigan in 1952. Her family lived in the community that was commonly known as Black Bottom. She attended Detroit Public Schools.

It was during her time at the Atlanta University Center that her love for art really began to grow. A highlight of her time in Atlanta was when she was commissioned by Coretta Scott King and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s mother, Alberta King to create art for the newly-formed Martin Luther King Library at the International Theological Center. She could not believe she was collaborating with these two remarkable women.

However, life happened. She rebooted her art career after a 35-year hiatus, during which she raised 10 children and worked in education. Her mixed media collage work is described as vibrant, bold, edgy and moving. Her work reflects and records human relationships, love, faith, and moments in time and place.

Bowman’s work has been exhibited at the Detroit Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, in Windsor, Canada, Art Prize in Grand Rapids, the Essence Festival in New Orleans, and the 2016, 2017, and 2018 Bombay Sapphire competition. She is the 2018 national second place winner of the Bombay Sapphire Artisan series. Her work was also exhibited at the Versace Mansion and the 2018 Miami Scope Art Basel. Her work is in the homes of many private collectors across the nation, including the Director of the Detroit Institute of Arts, Salvador Pons and his wife Alex May. As she rises, she brings along other artists and encourages them to grow and rise.

Intuit is accepting donations for the annual Closet Clearance Sale fundraiser, and we need your help. The Closet Clearance Sale features new, vintage and gently used women’s clothing and accessories (hats, bags, shoes, belts, scarves, jewelry, etc.) donated from Chicago’s best closets.

Your donations are tax-deductible AND will get you in to the “first dibs” preview on Friday night at no charge. Not interested in donating, but still want to participate? Come shop ‘till you drop, and raise funds for the museum while you’re at it. 

The best part is 100% of the sale’s proceeds directly support Intuit’s exhibitions, programming and educational events that celebrate outsider art.

 

When donating clothing to the sale, please keep in mind:

Donations are accepted through Saturday, April 20, 2019.

The value of your donation is determined by you.

All proceeds from the sale benefit Intuit and unsold items will be donated to various charities.

Please call the museum ahead of time to arrange donation coordination.

Donations can be dropped off at Intuit Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sundays, noon to 5 p.m.

In the past, the most popular items have been from recognizable brands and reflective of contemporary or vintage fashion trends.

We’re seeking high-end consignment items, so please refrain from donating t-shirts and other more casual clothing.

We ask that clothes be in clean, wearable condition and on hangers, if possible.

Intuit's Teacher Fellowship Program Student Exhibition showcases works generated from the 2018-2019 Teacher Fellowship Program. Inspired by self-taught and outsider art, students transformed found materials and used non-traditional techniques to create works of art that reflect their unique personal visions.

The 26 teachers whose students are represented in the exhibition are from 14 participating schools: Acero Victoria Soto High School, Burnside Scholastic Academy, Decatur Classical School, Ernst Prussing Elementary School, Hiawatha Elementary School, Hyde Park Academy High School, Jahn Elementary School of Fine Arts, James Russell Lowell Elementary School, John W. Garvy Elementary School, Mahalia Jackson Elementary School, Ogden International High School, Peace and Education Coalition High School – Sinclair Campus, Skinner West Elementary School, and William Howard Taft High School.

The Teacher Fellowship Program is Intuit’s award-winning professional development program for Chicago Public School teachers, which reaches more than 600 students across Chicago every year. Throughout the school year, the Teacher Fellowship Program supports a cohort of teachers to create an interdisciplinary lesson plan inspired by outsider artists. By introducing outsider art into their classrooms, Teacher Fellows are empowered to give their students an opportunity to create in a non-judgmental environment.

Opening reception: May 11, 1-4 p.m.

All are welcome to a poetry discussion and creative writing workshop led by Maggie Queeney of the Poetry Foundation, in conversation with Susan Te Kahurangi King: 1958-2018, on exhibition at Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art.

Together, we will read and discuss poetry that explores the relationship between archive and identity. In response to the exhibition, participants will compose original poems using personal artifacts to explore history, identity, and legacy.

Art After Work is a monthly series of drop-in art making inspired by Intuit’s exhibitions and the outsider art genre.

This month, AAW is hosted by Intuit's Young Professionals Board! The \"Yo Pros\" are a group of Intuit ambassadors who work together to support Intuit and spread awareness about the genre of outsider art. 

Come sketch in the galleries, then step into our work space to get the creative juices flowing with after hours refreshments, collaging, painting and more maker activities. Materials are provided, though all are encouraged to bring their own sketchbooks, current projects and personal visions.

Art After Work is held every third Thursday of the month from 5 to 7 p.m. Join the community by tagging @IntuitArtCenter in your photos with the hashtag #ArtAfterWork

Curated by Jan Petry

Painted tintype portraits offer a glimpse back in time.

Portraits have always served to demarcate social boundaries. Prior to the 19th century, portraits represented wealth and power, as they were commissioned by the rich and the ruling classes. Then, in the early 19th century, itinerant folk artists documented the growth of the rural middle class. The works they produced depicted aspiration and newfound respectability, rather than the images of staid authority favored by traditional academic portraits.

The invention of photography further extended the accessibility of formal portraiture to minorities, immigrants and the lower classes, providing them with a means to confirm their place in an expanding America. Cheap and easy to produce, tintypes, direct positive prints from a coated iron plate, had no negative, so each tintype was one of a kind. Hand painting further transformed one into an original, unique work of art. Painted tintypes made it possible for any American, regardless of class and race, to own a portrait to be hung on a parlor wall. The painted tintype was truly a portrait for the masses.

Painted tintype photographs were framed in the manner of traditional paintings, placing the work on the walls of rural households. The marked decline of American folk art portraits in the latter half of the 19th century was largely the result of the rising popularity of inexpensive painted photographs. But while folk painters were all but completely vanquished in the economic struggle against photography, the aesthetic and cultural traditions of folk art lived on in the art form that replaced it: the painted tintype. American folk portraiture survived for several decades in this new medium of American folk photography.

Painted full-plate tintypes (6½ x 8½ inches) had become a popular means of documentation towards the close of the Civil War. Coloring compensated for the tintypes’ natural lackluster tone. After the war, photographic entrepreneurs, looking to continuing their prolific wartime business, offered painted tintypes to a public now familiar with the images.

Because the lacquered iron support (no tin is used) was resilient and did not need drying, a tintype could be produced within a few minutes after the picture had been taken. Painted portrait tintypes were usually done in oils, often in sharp contrast to the unforgiving metal surface. To tint more delicate features, transparent watercolors were often used, allowing the photographic details to show through. Painted embellishments emphasized jewelry, clothing and furniture details or added completely new elements, like the army tents in the Civil War portrait here.

Painted tintypes played a significant role in American culture for a period of about four decades, continuing the tradition of vernacular portraiture. However, the introduction in 1888 of the Kodak camera with flexible roll film allowed anyone to be a photographer and hastened the demise of tintype photography. Historians have emphasized that the importance of folk art is its expression of the culture of the common man. The painted tintype, without a doubt, fills this criterion.

Auckland outsider artist Susan Te Kahurangi King stopped talking when she was four. Her grandmother recognized the little girl’s talent for drawing and kept her supplied with colored pencils and paper. For 20 years Susan expressed herself in thousands of artworks filled with playfulness, curiosity and terror. Then she stopped drawing. Her pictures were carefully packed away into boxes. She had 20 years of silence before she drew again. Now, the dealer world has discovered Susan’s art brut. A 2009 Sydney show has garnered international demand with an ethical quandary for the family who can only guess at Susan's wishes.

Justin Duerr: Surrender to Survival presents a selection of drawings by the Philadelphia-based artist. In 1999, Duerr began drawing detailed pen and marker scrolls. In 2008, Duerr started to connect the series of scrolls together, creating an elaborate story. These drawings incorporate poetry written by the artist and explore themes related to spirituality, the linear and cyclical nature of time, and include symbolic representatives of states of mind or non-mind with figures who evolve and appear throughout the works.

Jerry’s Map features selections from the map of an imaginary world that Michigan-based artist Jerry Gretzinger began 56 years ago. This vast project, which started as one doodle, now consists of around 3,600 individual 8 x 10 panels conjoined to make a single large-scale map filled with cities, countryside, rivers, airports and more facilities representing everyday life in this other dimension. Gretzinger paints and collages pieces of the map based on randomly-generated instructions drawn from a special deck of cards. Rules like \"VOID\" and \"SCAN,\" examples of what appears on the cards, dictate Gretzinger's every brushstroke.

Marvin Tate is a performance poet, lyricist, published author, collected visual artist and educator. He is known for his biographical art in the form of assemblage, portraits and landscapes composed of found objects and fragments from everyday life. Finding beauty and subtlety in “ev’day” life, objects and people is inherent in Tate’s narrative, which speaks of personal and family history while addressing a broader collective memory through social and political commentary.

Art After Work is a monthly series of drop-in art making inspired by Intuit’s exhibitions and the outsider art genre.

Come sketch in the galleries, then step into our work space to get the creative juices flowing with after hours refreshments, collaging, painting and more maker activities. Materials are provided, though all are encouraged to bring their own sketchbooks, current projects and personal visions. 

Art After Work is held every third Thursday of the month from 5 to 7 p.m. Join the community by tagging @IntuitArtCenter in your photos with the hashtag #ArtAfterWork

Join us for an intimate performance with multi-disciplinary artist Marvin Tate. Presented in conjunction with Intuit’s current exhibition, Looking at You From a Distance Not Too Far: Work by Marvin Tate, the artist will perform songs, poems, and narratives spanning his 20-year-plus career. Blending humor, storytelling and social commentary, Tate’s unique performance style ranges from soul to spoken word to Avant Garde, or in the words of the artist himself, “TED Talk meets Funkadelic”.

In conjunction with the exhibition Jerry’s Map (on view August 15, 2019–January 12, 2020), Intuit is proud to welcome Michigan-based artist Jerry Gretzinger for an art workshop. Gretzinger will help you create your own map art using collage and mixed media techniques. Enjoy a hands-on session in an informal creative setting with an interactive dialogue around mapmaking, exploring both real and imagined realms.

You will begin with a brief artist-led exhibition walkthrough in which Gretzinger will discuss his interest in mapmaking, detail his unique artistic process, and explore the elements of abstraction exemplified in the works on view. Then you will step into the workspace to engage in a workshop inspired by Jerry’s artistic process to create your own map!

All supplies are included.

About Jerry Gretzinger
Born in Grand Rapids, Mich., in 1942, Gretzinger studied architecture and liberal arts at the Universities of Michigan and California. He joined the Peace Corps in 1966 and spent two years in Tunisia, later returning to that country in 1968 as an architect with an archaeological team to catalog the Roman mosaics there. He came back to the United States in 1973 and started a handbag design company in New York. In 1982 he and his wife, Meg Staley, formed Staley/Gretzinger, a women's art-to-wear company.

Explore the extraordinary works on view in Intuit’s current exhibition, Jerry’s Map, during a gallery talk with artist Jerry Gretzinger. The artist will discuss his interest in mapmaking, detail his unique artistic process, and explore the elements of abstraction exemplified in his collage and mixed media map panels.

Jerry’s Map (on view through January 12, 2020)features selections from the map of Jerry Gretzinger’s imaginary world. The vast project now consists of about 3,600 individual 8 x 10\" panels conjoined to make a single, large-scale map filled with cities, countryside, rivers, airports, railroads and other features representing everyday life in this imagined realm. Gretzinger paints and collages pieces of the map based on randomly-generated instructions drawn from a special deck of instruction cards.

About Jerry Gretzinger
Born in Grand Rapids, Mich., in 1942, Gretzinger studied architecture and liberal arts at the Universities of Michigan and California. He joined the Peace Corps in 1966 and spent two years in Tunisia, later returning to that country in 1968 as an architect with an archaeological team to catalog the Roman mosaics there. He came back to the United States in 1973 and started a handbag design company in New York. In 1982 he and his wife, Meg Staley, formed Staley/Gretzinger, a women's art-to-wear company. He retired to Maple City, Mich., in 2004.

Keen","starts_at":"2020-02-06 12:00:00","ends_at":"2020-04-05 12:00:00","body":"

Philadelphia-based collector Victor F. Keen has interests beyond his vast outsider art collection, including manufactured objects such as toys, milk glass, toasters and old-school radios.

These radios are made from Catalin, the brand name for a specific resin developed in the 1930s. The American Catalin Corporation purchased the patents for the Bakelite resin casting process and importing rights to a German resin dye formula, then began to manufacture plastics in a process that improved upon the original Bakelite method, which had relied upon additives and fillers that resulted in an inferior plastic. Catalin, instead, poured resin into molds in a liquid state, eliminating fillers and additives, and cured the molds in ovens over a period of days. The results were thicker plastics, brighter colors and a smooth polished surface that may seem oily to the touch.

Dyes were mixed into the plastic resin, creating an art-like marbleized aesthetic, drawing interest from Keen. The radios were the first items to spark his collecting passion, which he began in the 1970s.

As the country emerged from the Great Depression, Americans wanted entertainment options, and industry answered with Catalin radios. Manufactured from 1928 to the ’40s, the Catalin radios were recognizable by their colorful hues and varying sizes, shapes and styles. Because of the way they were made—dyes being partially stirred into the plastic resin—a marbleized look with three-dimensional depth was achieved, resulting in no two Catalin sets having the exact same pattern. At the time of their production, the radio sets were the must-have decorative object in a household. Manufacturers recognized that style dictated purchase. The iconic Catalin Radio, like its predecessor Bakelite, whose color choices were limited to black and dark brown because of the carbon fiber or sawdust added to strengthen its structure, represent the influence of the Art Deco movement. Much of the design of this period reflect this artistic style of confident sweeping lines and thrusting angles.

Many small items, such as costume jewelry, hair barrettes, poker chips and trinket boxes were made from Catalin. Catalin’s production peaked in the decades before World War II, with production slowing during the war, followed by limited post-war production. Although Catalin was initially stronger than Bakelite, it would turn out to have long-term stability issues. Cracks were common, and many of the originally vibrant colors have faded due to oxidation and ultraviolet light exposure. Today, Catalin radios are extremely rare.

Keen","starts_at":"2020-02-06 12:00:00","ends_at":"2021-01-03 17:00:00","body":"

With more than 50 artworks from artists including Martín Ramírez, George Widener, Lee Godie, James Castle and more, this exhibition spans both gallery spaces at Intuit and showcases the genre’s masters.

In the words of Victor F. Keen:
“Visitors to my Bethany Mission Gallery in Philadelphia often ask what it was that attracted me to the world of outsider art, the primary focus of my collection. It’s not an easy question to answer. Like other collectors, I have found the question challenging and have concluded that to a large extent the allure is visceral and not easily articulated, though I occasionally have pondered the “why” of my collection.

It’s a question as complex as the much-debated question of how best to refer to the art itself. “Outsider,” “self-taught,” “naïve,” “visionary,” “untrained” are terms variously used and no one term seems entirely satisfactory to describe this category of art. For convenience, I refer to “outsider” art and “outsider” artists, as a shorthand with the understanding that others may favor other descriptives. The biographical narrative of every outsider artist is unique, but most share one or more of the following: no or only limited art training; living with mental or physical infirmities; poverty; educational deficit; being held back by racial discrimination.

I have found these aspects of the outsider art world compelling, including the fascinating (though almost always terribly challenging and unfortunate) variations in the individual artists’ personal circumstances. But personal challenges and disadvantages for the artists aside, the art must stand on its own. It was well after I finished law school that I developed any real interest in art or in collecting. My first collecting interest, beginning around 1975, was Catalin radios. In the late 1970s I was introduced to Frank Maresca, co-owner of Ricco/Maresca Gallery in New York. My awareness of outsider art grew in time from conversations with Frank, who has been a mentor in my collecting all along.”

Please visit the Intuit Outside Facebook fundraiser page to get started today!

 

Embracing Intuit’s belief that art can be found anywhere and made by anyone, our Young Professionals Board designed Intuit Outside, a Facebook fundraiser that benefits the IntuiTeens program. Intuit encourages you to take an adventure through your neighborhood (safely, with masks!) and search for outdoor art of any kind in your community. Snap a picture of the art you love and share it on Facebook with #IntuitOutside. Thanks to our generous donors Dale Taylor, Angela Lustig, and Eugenie and Lael Johnson, every photo you share is matched with a $20 donation and every cash donation is matched in-full up to $5,000.

The Young Professionals Board (YoPros) is pivoting from its typical in-person spring celebration as a result of COVID-19. To demonstrate its commitment to access and inclusivity, the YoPros are directing the funds raised from Intuit Outside to support the IntuiTeens program, which educates youth, many of whom live in under-served communities, about outsider art and builds their leadership and confidence skills. Your support is instrumental in sharing the power of outsider art with new audiences and ensuring Intuit reaches its fundraising goals to support the IntuiTeens youth program.

This month at Art After Work, Mayra Palafox will facilitate a workshop and lead a discussion inspired by the work of self-taught artist Martín Ramírez.

We’ll be drawing inspiration from Ramírez’s style, including repetitive lines, particular shapes, colors and themes, to create our own works of art.

Two hours before the event, Intuit will email the Zoom link to those who RSVP on Eventbrite. We'll see you Thursday!

The Visionary Ball is going virtual this year!

On Thursday, October 1, Intuit friends and supporters from all around the world are invited to tune into our first-ever livestream fundraiser and celebrate the museum's 29th and most resilient year.

Please join in celebrating this past year’s exhibitions, programs and events that championed outsider art and the voices of these artists. At the virtual gala, Intuit will honor artist, art educator and musician Lonnie Holley with the Visionary Award. Lonnie is the second artist to receive this award, which celebrates an individual who has made a significant contribution to the outsider art field; Mr. Imagination was the first artist recipient in 2009.

Ceramicist, cartoonist and painter Arkee Chaney will discuss his evolution as an artist and his current artistic practice at a virtual artist talk on Thursday, October 22. Intuit is thrilled to host Mr. Chaney, 76, in celebration of his release from prison in June 2020, as part of the remarkable work of the Illinois Prison Project, which secured the commutation of Chaney’s life sentence.

Chaney’s work provides commentary on African American experiences, politics and racism. In his artist statement, Chaney explains the genesis of the themes in his artwork, “Then one night it was as if a light lit up in my head, condemning me for my actions. Asking me, ‘Why are you promoting the culture of others? Tell your story.’ Since then, that’s exactly what I’ve been trying to do. With my cartoons, poems, ceramics and my paintings. All of these gifts are to be used to tell our story. By doing so, I strongly believe that I’ve tapped into something spiritual.”

Upon his release, Chaney built an art studio and created an online store where he sells his artwork. He currently serves as an Illinois Prison Project Ambassador.

In November 2016, Intuit previously hosted a panel to discuss Chaney’s work while he was still serving his sentence. Panelists included Sarah Ross, co-organizer of the Prison and Neighborhood Arts Project, and artists Jonathon Romain and Marvin Tate. For the upcoming talk, Chaney will discuss his artwork himself, in conversation with Paula Santos, Intuit senior manager of learning and engagement. Intuit thanks attorney Wendy Bloom for her efforts on Chaney’s behalf.

Join Intuit on the third Thursday of the month for Art After Work, a free series of drop-in art-making workshops inspired by outsider and self-taught art and artists. For the last Art After Work of 2020, museum educator Hannah Heller will lead a discussion and facilitate a workshop inspired by the portraiture created by self-taught artist Inez Nathaniel Walker. In the workshop, Heller will focus on what Nathaniel Walker does and does not emphasize in her portraits and what these details might reveal about Inez and her subjects.

Franklin Vagnone shares what it's like to spend the night at Paradise Garden, an art environment built by outsider artist Howard Finster.

About this Event

Imagine you are in Paradise Garden, walking past highly stylized stone sculptures decorated with pieces of glass that sparkle in the sun. Brightly painted signs, intricate sculptures, and flora line the walkways between one building to the next. Imagine now, what if you spent the night here?

Franklin Vagnone has.

In part two of a two-part special series of public programs, Vagnone joins Intuit to recount his \"One Night Stand\" at this fantastical art environment constructed by outsider artist Howard Finster.

Franklin Vagnone is a Public Historian who leads the highly respected international cultural consulting firm Twisted Preservation. In addition, he is CEO of Old Salem Museums and Gardens and the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts. Through his One Night Stand blog series, Vagnone attempts to shift our understanding of historic house museums away from the perception that they are solely public venues to a more intimate and tactile appreciation of these museums as places of private, domestic life.

Vagnone describes his One Night Stand series as his attempt \"to highlight more nuanced and latent understandings of these places as vessels for life, social issues, politics, and habitation – not merely as decorative arts objects and collections artifacts.\" He spends the night in the historic bedrooms, using the furniture and experiencing the combination of behaviors and interactions with a home in ways that only an inhabitant can understand.

This program is free to join! To show your support to Intuit, please consider the pay-what-you-can (PWYC) option when you complete your reservation. Your contributions help ensure the sustainability of our public programs and support guest lecturers and teaching artists.

Two hours before the event, Intuit will email the Zoom link to those who RSVP on Eventbrite. Please check your junk folder; unfortunately, these emails are sent there sometimes.

In anticipation of her April 2021 book launch, art historian Leisa Rundquist joins Intuit President and CEO Debra Kerr to discuss the forthcoming book The Power and Fluidity of Girlhood in Henry Darger's Art. Rundquist's book is the first to examine Darger's conceptual and visual representation of girlhood as it charts his use of little girl imagery in contexts that many scholars have read as puerile and psychologically disturbed, including his direct appropriations from mainstream sources as well as girls modified to meet his needs. Consequently, this inquiry qualifies the intersexed aspects of Darger's girls as well as addresses their inherent cute and little associations that signal multivocal meanings often in conflict with each other. To illustrate their conversation, Kerr and Rundquist will use source materials from the Henry Darger Room Collection, located at Intuit, as references to discuss the intricacies of Darger's representation of girls.

We hope to see you then! You can register below.

Many of us have experienced hardships and trauma since March 2020, with the onset of the global pandemic and a climate of political divisiveness, set against a year of uprisings for justice for Black lives.

While these challenges continue, it is our hope to provide a space for each of us to be present, to sit with thoughts and emotions, to contemplate works of art, or to be inspired or fortified by the narratives of those who made them.

Featured in Trauma and Loss, Reflection and Hope are works by Eugene Andolsek, Emery Blagdon, Hiroyuki Doi, Lonnie Holley, Mr. Imagination, Kevin Sampson, Dr. Charles Smith, Betty Zakoian and Malcah Zeldis. Much about these artists and artworks on view is varied. These artists did not pursue a formal program of arts training or education but came to making work in a variety of ways—out of personal necessity; to process trauma or grief; to proclaim a message, after having a vision; or while in retirement. In Trauma and Loss, Reflection and Hope, we ask you to consider the artist as a person who made work in response to the times and circumstances in which they live or lived. Their different paths and the wide-ranging type of work they produced, over the course of their period of art making, reminds us that creativity is possible at any age, at any time, by anyone.

From quilts supporting abolition and temperance to signature quilts made to raise money for war efforts to the AIDS Memorial Quilt, quilts have long expressed political beliefs and supported social causes. As quilt scholar Marsha MacDowell said, “Many people think of quilts as a warm, fuzzy domestic art. Yet we see time and time again, artists have used this particular medium to make strong statements that address human rights issues.” Most often, quilts with a message are made by adults, but, today, the tradition of quilting for social justice is being introduced to young artivists—or artist-activists—who pick up a needle and thread for the first time and learn to see quilts in a new way.

Accompanying the exhibition Trauma and Loss, Reflection and Hope, Intuit is pleased to partner with the Social Justice Sewing Academy (SJSA) to display textiles created by the program’s young artivists. Founded in 2017, SJSA is a youth education program that bridges artistic expression with activism to advocate for social justice. Through hands-on workshops across the country, SJSA empowers youth to use textile art as a vehicle for personal transformation and community cohesion to become agents of social change. Hung near the museum’s entrance are banners and quilts from the program’s Community Quilts and Remembrance Project workshops.

Each SJSA Community Quilt is made of blocks designed and created by untrained youth participants and offers a look at the varied issues significant to them. Stitched into each artivist’s quilt blocks are senses of wanting more for their lives and hope for a better and more just society. These powerful blocks are then sent to embroidery volunteers who add embellishments to each block and learn more about what matters to young people. The quilts are assembled by volunteer quilters, creating a bridge of learning and understanding between generations.

The first of three exhibitions in the series Henry Darger: The Room Revealed opens this Friday, June 11. The series focuses on the Henry Darger Room and its forthcoming temporary de-installation and explores Chicago's world-renowned outsider artist in collaboration with audiences and advisors.

Darger as Reader, Writer and Bookmaker highlights the author and artist's literary influences, writing techniques and bookmaking practices, notably his scrapbooks. Evident by his possessions, Darger was a collector of children's literature, coloring books, National Geographic magazines, Chicago newspapers and Catholic paraphernalia, which influenced his writing and art making. His writings were of critical importance to his later artistic output, and this exhibition focuses on the media he consumed and their influences on what, when and how he wrote. Featured in the exhibition are books and materials from Darger's collection, as well as a timeline of his writings and access to a recently digitized microfilm copy of his works. The exhibition draws on the Henry Darger Room Collection and Archive to feature source materials that informed his presentation of the Vivian girls—protagonists from his epic novel—and portraits of the sisters.

Join Intuit for the opening weekend of Darger as Reader, Writer and Bookmaker!

The museum is open from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults and free for guests under the age of 18 and members. Reserve your tickets through Tock or contact (312) 624-9487 or intuit@art.org, and an Intuit staff member will assist you.

Transitioning from the perspective of Darger as author to Darger as artist, the series Henry Darger: The Room Revealed continues with the exhibition Methods and Manipulations, opening at Intuit on Friday, July 23.

Methods and Manipulations takes a close look at the visual culture with which Darger grew up and the source materials from which he drew inspiration and, in some cases, appropriated in his art. The exhibition explores how Darger used imagery from diverse sources—such as coloring book pages, newspaper and magazine articles, and paper dolls—and pairs select works by Darger with their source materials. The show highlights Darger's process and techniques with a special focus on select themes: his interest in weather, use of collage, incorporation of the panorama format in his works and creation of comic book scrapbooks.

Join Intuit for the opening weekend of Methods and Manipulations!

Intuit is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday and by appointment on Tuesday and Wednesday. Admission is $5 for adults and free for members and guests age 18 and under. Reserve tickets online through Tock or contact intuit@art.org or (312) 624-9487, and an Intuit staff member will assist you.

Before you go to the museum, read our guest expectations and operations on the Plan Your Visit web page.

Henry Darger (1892–1973) was a Chicagoan who spent part of his youth consigned to an Asylum for Feeble-Minded Children in Lincoln, Ill. As a young adult, he returned to Chicago, got a job as a janitor and lived a mostly-reclusive life in a one-room apartment. At the time of Darger’s death, his landlords discovered an extensive body of artwork and writings. Central to these was the novel, In the Realms of the Unreal, accompanied by hundreds of illustrations made through a painstaking tracing process, through which he learned to draw and paint. In 2000, former landlady Kiyoko Lerner donated the contents of Darger’s living and working spaces to Intuit, which were installed in 2008. The Henry Darger Room Collection and Archive includes source materials for his illustrations (tracings, clippings from newspapers, magazines, coloring books, cartoons); architectural elements and furnishings (table, fireplace, phonograph, dresser, chandelier); and art-making supplies (paints, brushes, pencils).

Caring for a Chicago Legacy is the third of three exhibitions in the series Henry Darger: The Room Revealed, which draws upon the Henry Darger Room Collection and Archive to explore questions about the author and artist’s life and work. The exhibitions are intended as a means of experimenting with different ways to present information and may range from audio components to tactile objects. For example, Darger’s Cast of Characters is featured both as a wall graphic and in scrapbook form, and songs from his records play in the exhibition space to create ambiance.

To present multiple perspectives on the work, Intuit engaged Darger scholars Michael Bonesteel, Leisa Rundquist and Mary Trent to explore how its collection reveals aspects of Darger’s life. The exhibition explores Chicago connections to Darger’s writing and art works and will culminate in the dismantling of the current Room exhibition to complete a conservation assessment of fragile items and plan for a new installation. Guests will be able to see this process occurring in the gallery space, beginning Tuesday, October 12. Following the close of this series, Intuit will continue the process of experimentation in the area currently allocated to the Darger Room.

Please note: Sunday, October 10, will be the last day guests see the Henry Darger Room intact until Intuit re-installs the exhibit.

In honor of the museum's late founder Susann Craig, who passed away earlier this year, Intuit opens Building a Legacy, an exhibition featuring works of art from its collection donated by Craig, on view beginning Thursday, October 14.

Building a Legacy: Gifts from Susann Craig features works by artists Minnie Evans, Justin McCarthy, Sister Gertrude Morgan and Albert Zahn, among others. The exhibition celebrates Craig, her excitement for outsider and self-taught art, her friendship with many of the genre's renowned artists, and the long-term impact of her stewardship of Intuit.

\"Susann was incredibly passionate about Intuit from its very beginning, and she made it her mission over the last 30 years to use her powers as a people connector to introduce and engage people with the museum,\" said Intuit President and CEO Debra Kerr. \"Her energy and enthusiasm for the organization were boundless—part of the personality of the place—and the staff and board team misses her smiles and laughter every day.\"

Born in Youngstown, Ohio, in 1936, Craig was an entrepreneur from a young age. She studied at the College of Wooster and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, earning her master's in art history and opening the first of her many stores, The Gallery, Ltd., in the area. Craig moved from Champaign to Chicago, where she played a prominent role in the city's art and fashion industries as a lecturer at Columbia College Chicago and the owner of The Susann Craig Showroom. In 1991, Craig joined a handful of Chicago collectors, artists, educators and art enthusiasts in founding Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art. She served on the museum's board of directors for 29 years before being elevated to a member of the Vivian Society of life trustees in 2020. She was a recipient of the Visionary Award, the museum's highest honor.

Building a Legacy: Gifts from Susann Craig is curated by Alison Amick and will be on view until Sunday, January 9, 2022.

 

ABOUT INTUIT

Founded in 1991, Intuit is a premier museum of outsider and self-taught art, defined as work created by artists who faced marginalization, overcame personal odds to make their artwork, or who did not, or sometimes could not, follow a traditional path of art making, often using materials at hand to realize their artistic vision. By presenting a diversity of artistic voices, Intuit builds a bridge from art to audiences. The museum's mission—to celebrate the power of outsider art—is grounded in the ethos that powerful art can be found in unexpected places and made by unexpected creators.

Intuit is open 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday and by appointment on Tuesday and Wednesday. For more information, please visit www.art.org/visit/.

The Life and Death of Charles Williams, an exhibition featuring a breadth of work ranging from sculptures to comics by the late artist Charles Williams, stretches across two galleries of Intuit and opens to the public on Friday, December 10. The exhibition is curated by Phillip March Jones, who will present opening remarks at the show's opening reception.

Born in Blue Diamond, Ky., in 1942, Charles Williams taught himself to draw as a child by copying comic book figures like Superman, Dick Tracy and Captain Marvel. He moved with his mother and great uncle to the south side of Chicago, where he attended James Wadsworth Elementary School. He continued his education until high school, when he left Chicago with his uncle to return to Kentucky. In the early 1960s, Williams enrolled at the Breckinridge Job Corps Center in Morganfield, Ky., where he sharpened his writing skills, made photographs and created his first comic for the Breckinridge Bugle titled JC of the Job Corps. The comic followed the adventures of teens enrolled in the program, addressing immediate problems of finding a job, voting rights and economic opportunity. In 1967, Williams graduated from the Job Corps program \"with flying colors\" but was unable to find the kind of employment he wanted and accepted a job in the cleaning services of the IBM corporation in Lexington, Ky.

While working as a full-time janitor, Williams further developed his artistic practice. He continued to create comic narratives, including a mini-series about aliens visiting Earth titled Cosmic Giggles. In the series, the aliens observe racism, disease, economic inequality and pollution, among other earthly problems, and decide to leave our planet. Around this time, Williams began to embellish his house and yard by painting trees and cutouts of Mighty Mouse, Batman and others. He also built sculptures and pencil holders from materials he found at IBM, including discarded writing utensils and melted plastics. He described his pencil holders: \"Plastic melts off the machine and it takes certain forms when it hits the floor. It becomes solid with weird shapes. I put them on a stand and paint it, keep it in its unique weird stage, and some of them forms looks like an animal's brain. Makes you think of a brain.\"

Williams made assemblages, drawings, furniture and other works of art in various media until his untimely death in 1998, the result of AIDS-related complications and starvation. In death, he became a catalyst for the kind of change for which he advocated in his comics, drawings and sculptures.

\"Intuit is excited to partner with Phillip March Jones to bring an artist new to the museum to the fore with an exhibition that explores the range of subject matters and materials with which Williams worked,\" said Debra Kerr, president and CEO at Intuit. \"He created a complex and expansive body of work, expressing significant themes still relevant in today's discourse.\"

The Life and Death of Charles Williams—curated by Phillip March Jones with contributions by Paul Arnett, Daniel Fuller, FREAKO, Y. Malik Jalal, Frank X. Walker and Melissa Watt—is the first major solo exhibition of Charles Williams' oeuvre, initially appearing at the Atlanta Contemporary in 2020. The accompanying publication, Cosmic Giggles by Charles Williams, will be available in the Intuit Store during the exhibition, concluding on Sunday, April 24, 2022.

About this event

Join Intuit for Art After Work, a free series of facilitated art-making workshops inspired by outsider and self-taught art and artists from the museum's collections and exhibitions. This month, artist and museum educator Mayra Palafox will lead a discussion and facilitate a workshop inspired by artist Charles Williams, who found inspiration in comic books, pop culture and his lived experiences to create new superheroes. In the virtual workshop, participants will explore the process of mixed media to create their own superheroes!

Engage in a conversation with Phillip March Jones, curator of The Life and Death of Charles Williams, about the exhibition.

About this event

The Life and Death of Charles Williams is the first major solo show of Charles Williams' oeuvre. A compelling storyteller and prolific creator, Williams made fantastical assemblages, comics, drawings, paintings and sculptures, referencing pop culture and addressing social issues still relevant in today's discourse. Hear from the curator of the exhibition, Phillip March Jones, about the stories behind and within Williams' pieces and the long-lasting impact the artist continues to have on creatives today.

Finding herself homeless on the streets of Chicago at the age of 60, Lee Godie branded herself as a “French Impressionist,” selling pen/ink drawings and paintings to collectors, art students and pedestrians on Michigan Avenue for over twenty years until she passed away in 1994. Directed by Kapra Fleming with co-producer Tom Palazzolo, this documentary portrait relies on first-hand interviews with friends and Chicago art collectors about this unique artist, who embodied the entrepreneurial spirit of Chicago and masterfully wove a web of speculation about her life.

The film screening will take place in the performance space at Intuit and conclude with a Q+A with filmmaker Kapra Fleming and gallerist Carl Hammer, moderated by Intuit President and CEO Debra Kerr.

This powerful, multi-generationally produced textile artwork embodies the values and aesthetics of the IntuiTeens, young artists who participate in Intuit’s annual summer youth program. In 2021, Intuit partnered with the Social Justice Sewing Academy (SJSA) to display the exhibition Connecting Generations through Cloth and interact with the IntuiTeens. SJSA founder Sara Trail and member Jeannine La Bate traveled from Oakland, Calif., to Chicago, where they led a tour of the exhibition, then met with the teens to facilitate conversations on social justice and demonstrate quilt-making techniques. In that workshop, each teen designed a quilt block addressing a social issue significant to them. With detailed instructions from each teen in hand, adult volunteer embroiderers and quilters from around Chicago embellished and assembled the blocks, resulting in this finished quilt.

Founded in 2017, SJSA is a non-profit organization that aims to empower individuals to utilize textile art for personal transformation and community cohesion and to begin the journey toward becoming an agent of social change.

Throughout his artistic career, Villarreal has demonstrated mastery of materials: alabaster, marble, limestone, serpentine, lead and acrylic. South Chicago Legacies spans decades of his artistic practice, featuring works from the 1970s to the present day. The artist captures the spirit of his neighborhood of South Chicago in his art; subject matters range from urban tragedy and commemoration to family life and celebration to exploration of his Mexican heritage.

\"Roman's work reflects his lived experiences—from personal tragedies to joyful moments with family—and those of his community—the struggles and triumphs that followed the fall of the steel mill industry. He tackles complex subjects through creative experimentation and in a diversity of media,\" said Alison Amick, chief curator at Intuit.

Born in The Bush neighborhood of Chicago in 1950, Villarreal is a self-taught artist with a decades-long body of work including sculpture, painting and assemblage. He demonstrated a strong interest in art from a young age, playing with putty and clay as a child. His mother recognized his talent and described him as a \"shaper\"—a nod to his future career as an established sculptor. Throughout his youth, Villarreal traveled between Chicago; Tampico, Mexico; and Corpus Christi and Benavides, Texas, to be with family and attend school. In the 1960s, Villarreal joined a gang before serving in the military during the Vietnam War. In training, Villarreal began to draw and sell his works to fellow soldiers, a practice that encouraged him to continue in the arts.

Following his time in the military, Villarreal returned to Chicago to work in the steel mills, where he began to make small sculptures using the materials he could find. The mills were the leading source of income for his community at this time; when they closed, Villarreal described it as a gray period. It was then he turned to art full-time, submitting pieces to exhibitions and researching art history. His rigorous dedication to his artistic practice resulted in several commissions. From Big Marsh to Palmer Square to Margate Park, sculptures by Villarreal are now found throughout Chicago, highlighting the city's history. A sculpture of particular note is Tribute to the Past (2015) at Steelworkers Park in Chicago's southeast side.

\"Intuit was thrilled to be introduced to Roman Villarreal by board member William Swislow, who Roman connected with after reading about Bill's keen interest in the lakefront revetment carvings. Roman was one of four artists who sculpted the renowned mermaid sculpture near Oakwood Beach along Lake Michigan,\" said Intuit President and CEO Debra Kerr.

\"Exhibiting the work of a living, self-taught artist from our own city creates myriad opportunities to engage audiences with Roman,\" Kerr continued. \"Already the museum's Teacher Fellows visited Roman's studio to learn about his artistic process. I know other groups will be equally intrigued by his enthusiasm and formidable artistic output.\"

Roman Villarreal: South Chicago Legacies—curated by Amick—opens to the public with extended hours (11 a.m.–8 p.m.) on Friday, June 17, and free admission to guests of all ages all weekend long, Friday, June 17, through Sunday, June 19. Saturday and Sunday hours are 11 a.m.–6 p.m. In addition to its opening weekend festivities, Intuit will host a suite of accompanying public programs throughout the run of the exhibition, which closes Jan. 8, 2023.

ABOUT INTUIT

Founded in 1991, Intuit is a premier museum of outsider and self-taught art, defined as work created by artists who faced marginalization, overcame personal odds to make their artwork, or who did not, or sometimes could not, follow a traditional path of art making, often using materials at hand to realize their artistic vision. By presenting a diversity of artistic voices, Intuit builds a bridge from art to audiences. The museum's mission—to celebrate the power of outsider art—is grounded in the ethos that powerful art can be found in unexpected places and made by unexpected creators.

Intuit is open 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday and by appointment on Tuesday and Wednesday. For more information, please visit www.art.org/visit/.

This exhibition showcases artwork by 379 students in the classrooms of Intuit’s 2021–2022 Teacher Fellowship Program. The Teacher Fellows who are part of this program enable students to experiment with their creativity through the ethos that art can be made by anyone. Students experience the power of expression in a safe space, encouraged to explore their personal creative potential. Further, art teachers collaborate with colleagues of different subjects (math, speech, science, literature and special education) to build lesson plans that help students integrate the characteristics of self-taught art into cross-disciplinary learning.

Students transformed found and non-traditional materials into art pieces that reflect their personal visions and connect with their lived experiences. Young artists in Teacher Fellows’ classrooms were introduced to and inspired by self-taught artists Emery Blagdon, Eugene von Bruenchenhein, James Castle, Lee Godie, Lonnie Holley, Jesse Howard, Charlie Lucas, Kevin Sampson and Judith Scott and memory jars by anonymous artists.

Every year, this award-wining teacher professional development program reaches hundreds of students across Chicago. The 20 teachers and 11 schools in this year’s program came together from many neighborhoods and across the Chicago Public Schools network: Acero Victoria Soto High School, Azuela Elementary School, Beethoven Elementary School, Decatur Classical School, Foreman High School, Farvy Elementary School, Jahn School of Fine Art, Jordan Elementary School, Sabin Magnet School (4th and 7th/8th grades) and Walsh Elementary School, plus non-CPS school New Horizon Center.

The Southeast side of Chicago is an often overlooked and stigmatized neighborhood, blocked by an overcast of misguided interpretation. In the documentary, filmmaker Steven J. Walsh strives to shed light on this neighborhood's near-mythic tale. The screening will feature a musical performance by Walsh's grandfather Roger \"Coco\" Gomez, whom the film centers on. The screening will conclude with a Q&A with Walsh, Gomez and artist Roman Villarreal, who is featured in the film.

Ted Degener: At Home with Artists, the photographer's first major exhibition, showcases portraits and videos of makers of art environments within and among their grand works of art. The exhibition opens at Intuit on Thursday, Jan. 19, with an evening reception free to the public.

For more than five decades, Ted Degener has traveled across the United States in search of encounters with the makers of art environments—artists who transformed personal spaces like homes, gardens and studios into continually evolving, site-specific and life-encompassing works of art. His fascination with art environments started in 1970 when he learned about Simon Rodia's Watts Towers in Los Angeles, making the site the destination of his first cross-country road trip in pursuit of art. Since then, Degener has photographed more than 400 artists in and with their work, in addition to roadside attractions, eccentric festivals and other American cultural activities. He continues to travel to and photograph art environments, contributing photos of his adventures to Raw Vision magazine.

Degner's photographs go beyond documentation of art environments, though some serve as remnants of sites long disassembled, to capture the artist inhabiting their work. Often, art environments are the result of a lifetime of love and labor, and Degener's portraits capture the maker's dynamisms, their sense of joy and pride in sharing their creations with others.

\"Degener's portraits are not just stunning photos in their own right; they also reveal the inextricable link between makers and their art environments,\" stated Annalise Flynn, curator of the exhibition and manager of SPACES Archives. \"My hope is that this collection of images illustrates the scope of these creative spaces as well as the depth of Degener's dedication to these artists and their work.\"

Audiences will be able to engage with Degener's photographs in the museum's front gallery as well as with his \"home videos\" in the performance space, where they can sit in a cozy setting and choose from seven short films of visits with artists Silvio Barile, Loy Bowlin, L.V. Hull, Leonard Knight and Dr. Charles Smith. Accompanying this selection of more than 30 portraits—both photos and videos—by Degener are works of art by L.V. Hull, Leonard Knight and Dr. Charles Smith. These intimate objects are representative of their makers' art environments and serve as tangible points of entry into the sites Degener captured on film.

\"Degener captures the personalities of both the makers and the sites in his work,\" said Debra Kerr, president and CEO at Intuit. \"There's a liveliness that runs throughout the exhibition, embodied in the objects from art environments and reflected in Degener's portraits and videos.\"

\"We are thrilled to have created this exhibition in partnership with Intuit, an institution committed to thoughtful engagement with vernacular creativity,\" shared Flynn.

The exhibition Ted Degener: At Home with Artists opens to the public with a free opening reception on Thursday, Jan. 19, 5–8 p.m. Intuit will host accompanying public programs throughout the exhibition's run, which concludes on Labor Day, Sep. 4, 2023.

ABOUT THE CURATOR Annalise Flynn is an independent art historian and curator based in Sheboygan, Wis. She manages SPACES Archives (Saving and Preserving Arts and Cultural Environments)—the world's largest repository of archival documentation related to art environments—on behalf of the Kohler Foundation in Kohler, Wis.

ABOUT INTUIT Founded in 1991, Intuit is a premier museum of outsider and self-taught art, defined as work created by artists who faced marginalization, overcame personal odds to make their artwork, or who did not, or sometimes could not, follow a traditional path of art making, often using materials at hand to realize their artistic vision. By presenting a diversity of artistic voices, Intuit builds a bridge from art to audiences. The museum's mission—to celebrate the power of outsider art—is grounded in the ethos that powerful art can be found in unexpected places and made by unexpected creators.

In partnership with Project Onward, Intuit opens the exhibition What Are Words For? with free admission and extended hours on Friday, Feb. 3.

Intuit is pleased to host a series of exhibitions in partnership with the art studios Creative Growth Art Center (Oakland, Calif.), Project Onward (Chicago) and Arts of Life (Chicago), in which the museum invites each studio to co-curate and exhibit works by their respective artists. Creative Growth Art Center: Selections from the Collection featured works of art from the museum's collection by notable Creative Growth artists. Following this first exhibition's close on Sunday, Jan. 29, the series continues with the second show of three:What Are Words For?

What Are Words For? is curated by Robyn Jablonski, creative director at Project Onward, and features works by six of the studio's artists: Catherine Butterfly, William Douglas, Safiya Hameed, Molly McGrath, Luke Shemroske and Lucy Woodhouse. The exhibition centers on the significance of words and language represented in art—What do the words mean? How do they enhance or challenge the images they accompany? Is their presence as significant as their absence? These questions serve as points of entry for audiences to consider when looking at the varied styles of each artist.

\"[The exhibition] implores audiences to wander and wonder with these artworks and be present with the images and words presented,\" stated Jablonski.

What Are Words For? opens to the public with free admission and extended hours (11 a.m.–8 p.m.) on Friday, Feb. 3, and runs through Sunday, Mar. 19. Accompanying the exhibition, Intuit will host Art After Work on Thursday, Feb. 23, 5–6:30 p.m., at Project Onward (1200 W. 35th Street, 4th Floor, Chicago, IL 60609), where five of the studio's artists will facilitate an art-making workshop inspired by their artistic practices. The public program is free, and registration will open the first week of February.

ABOUT INTUIT

Founded in 1991, Intuit is a premier museum of outsider and self-taught art, defined as work created by artists who faced marginalization, overcame personal odds to make their artwork, or who did not, or sometimes could not, follow a traditional path of art making, often using materials at hand to realize their artistic vision. By presenting a diversity of artistic voices, Intuit builds a bridge from art to audiences. The museum's mission—to celebrate the power of outsider art—is grounded in the ethos that powerful art can be found in unexpected places and made by unexpected creators.

Intuit is open 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday and by appointment on Tuesday and Wednesday. For more information, please visit www.art.org/visit/.

Hand Drawn Circle: Arts of Life Studio Past and Present, an exhibition that brings together works by former and current Arts of Life artists, opens at Intuit with free admission and extended hours on Thursday, March 23.

The show's title is a nod to Arts of Life founding artist Veronica Cuculich's artistic practice, in which she would depict \"babydolls\" or figures with often-enlarged circular heads drawn with mandala-like linear elements and stripes of color, visually paralleling many types of religious iconography. In addition to Cuculich, Hand Drawn Circle features artists Chris Austin, Nikki Heusman, Marcus Kennedy, David Krueger, Michael Marino, Susan Pasowicz (with Allison Wade), Hubert Posey, Alex Scott and Jean Wilson. The works of art by these 10 artists comprise a range of approaches to representing thoughts in visual form.

\"Working with a major institution like Intuit helps push our mission forward by getting the work of our artists seen and recognized by audiences outside of our studio,\" shared Vincent Uribe, director of exhibitions and external relations at Arts of Life. \"We are thrilled to show work by Veronica Cuculich to honor her memory of what she helped start at Arts of Life, as well as current artists who are making work with us today.\"

A glimpse into the Arts of Life studio's history, Hand Drawn Circle is the third and final exhibition in a series presenting works of art from three art studios that support artists with disabilities. The previous two art studios were Creative Growth Art Center (Oakland, Calif.) and Project Onward (Chicago).

\"Intuit is proud to partner with Arts of Life and to showcase the important work being made by emerging studio artists,\" said Debra Kerr, president and CEO at Intuit.

Arts of Life has been supporting artists with disabilities for more than 20 years, following its founding in 2000. Servings as a studio and gallery, the organization advances the creative arts community—in Chicago and beyond—by providing more than 60 artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities with a collective space to expand their practice and strengthen their leadership.

Hand Drawn Circle opens to the public with free admission and extended hours (11 a.m.–8 p.m.) on Thursday, March 23. Together with Arts of Life, Intuit invites all to celebrate the show's opening at a reception that evening (5–8 p.m.) in the museum's performance space, where light refreshments will be available. Accompanying Hand Drawn Circle, Intuit will co-host Art After Work with Arts of Life on Thursday, April 20, 5–6:30 p.m., at the Arts of Life studio (2010 W. Carroll Avenue). The public program will be free, and registration will open in April.

ABOUT ARTS OF LIFE

Founded in 2000 by artist Veronica Cuculich, two co-directors and nine individuals with developmental disabilities, Arts of Life is a nonprofit studio and gallery with a vision to create a working, person-centric artistic community while providing a work environment of equality in Chicago. Its vision grew from a passion for artistic expression and a need for an alternative system.

ABOUT INTUIT

Founded in 1991, Intuit is a premier museum of outsider and self-taught art, defined as work created by artists who faced marginalization, overcame personal odds to make their artwork, or who did not, or sometimes could not, follow a traditional path of art making, often using materials at hand to realize their artistic vision. By presenting a diversity of artistic voices, Intuit builds a bridge from art to audiences. The museum's mission—to celebrate the power of outsider art—is grounded in the ethos that powerful art can be found in unexpected places and made by unexpected creators.

Intuit is open 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday and by appointment on Tuesday and Wednesday. For more information, please visit www.art.org/visit/.

Purvis Young (American, 1943–2010) lived most of his adult life in Overtown, a neighborhood in Miami, where his art flourished and continues to be celebrated. Young, an observer and unofficial historian of Overtown, recorded and portrayed the everyday lives, stories, woes and systemic traumas of the Black experience of which he was a part and a witness. He drew inspiration directly from his community, personal relationships, local television, public radio and the library, which he frequented. As he expressed in a 2005 interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist, “I paint the problems of the world.” The materials he used, such as wood scraps, paper, Masonite, plywood and found books—like his subject matter—were collected from his neighborhood and nearby construction sites.

Young’s artistic career began in the late 1960s after he spent a brief period in prison, during which he learned about and was inspired by murals in Chicago and Detroit, such as the 1967 Chicago mural Wall of Respect, painted by the Visual Arts workshop of the Organization of Black American Culture. His first major work, in the spirit of a mural, was located from 12th to 14th Streets between 3rd and 4th Avenues in Overtown, named Good Bread Alley after the smell of freshly baked bread in the area. Beginning around 1971, Young attached large painted panels to dilapidated and abandoned buildings in Good Bread Alley in protest of the impending demolition of what was considered the heart of Overtown for the construction of interstate highway 95, which displaced about 10,000 residents and 40 blocks of the main business district. This project brought Young wide recognition and several other mural commissions that can still be viewed at the Culmer/Overtown Library (1984), Northside Metrorail Station (1986) and an overpass wall at NW 11th Street and NW 3rd Avenue (2010).

While public works remain a large part of Young’s legacy, Purvis Young: Works on Paper offers an intimate glimpse at the work Young produced using paper, a material frequently employed in his oeuvre of more than 3,000 artworks. This exhibition celebrates the recent acquisition of these pieces from the Daniel Aubry Collection.

Friday, June 30, Intuit opens Purvis Young: Works on Paperand Recent Acquisitions, two exhibitions that showcase new additions to the museum's growing collection. The exhibitions will run through Labor Day, after which Intuit will close to the public to begin renovations to its facility.

Purvis Young (American, 1942–2010) was a self-taught artist who recorded and portrayed the everyday lives, stories, woes and systemic traumas of the Black experience that he was a part of and a witness to in the Overtown neighborhood of Miami, where he lived and where his art flourished. His artistic career began in the late 1960s after he spent a brief period in prison, during which he learned about and was inspired by murals in Chicago and Detroit. He began to produce public art projects that soon garnered him wide recognition and mural commissions in Miami.

Young's legacy extends beyond these public art projects, as he drew inspiration from his surroundings to create more than 3,000 artworks. The materials he used, such as wood scraps, paper, Masonite, plywood and found books—like his subject matter—he sourced from his community. Purvis Young: Works on Paper offers an intimate glimpse at the work the artist made using paper, a material frequently employed in his oeuvre. This exhibition celebrates the donation of these pieces to Intuit from the Daniel Aubry Collection.

In addition to the newly gifted Purvis Young works, Intuit displays pieces by artists William Dawson, Lee Godie and Mose Tolliver, among others, in the exhibition Recent Acquisitions. The works of art in this exhibition demonstrate the museum's commitment to growing and enriching its collection, which was established in 2002 and has grown to more than 1,300 artworks.

Purvis Young: Works on Paper and Recent Acquisitions open to the public with free admission on Friday, June 30, and an opening reception that evening, 5–8 p.m. These exhibitions will conclude on Labor Day, after which Intuit will close to the public to begin the renovation of its existing 150-year-old historic building into a modern, accessible museum, tentatively scheduled to reopen summer 2024.

ABOUT INTUIT

Intuit champions diverse artistic voices and pathways, inviting all to explore the power of outsider art. Founded in 1991, Intuit is a premier museum of outsider and self-taught art, defined as work created by artists who faced marginalization, overcame personal odds to make their artwork, or who did not, or sometimes could not, follow a traditional path of art making, often using materials at hand to realize their artistic vision. By presenting a diversity of artistic voices, Intuit builds a bridge from art to audience. The museum’s mission is grounded in the ethos that powerful art can be found in unexpected places and made by unexpected creators.

Intuit is open 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday and by appointment on Tuesday and Wednesday. For more information, please visit www.art.org/visit/.

South Asia Institute | 1925 S. Michigan Ave. | RSVP HERE

Join Art Design Chicago for an in-depth conversation with Chicago-based artists Carlos Barberena, Indira Freitas Johnson, Melissa Leandro and Vida Sačić about their journeys of immigration and migration and the ways in which those life experiences have shaped their work. In this panel moderated by Hyde Park Art Center's Mariela Acuña, the artists discuss how Chicago and its culture have affected them and their art practices. 

Following the discussion, attendees are invited to engage with the artists via a Q&A session and light refreshments. 

Carlos Barberena is a Nicaraguan born, Chicago-based contemporary printmaker known for his relief prints and the use of images from pop culture, as well as from political and cultural tragedies. His work will be shown in Chicago as Catalyst, Intuit's inaugural exhibition in the newly-renovated museum beginning in April 2025. 

Indira Freitas Johnson identifies as a sculptor, cultural worker, peace activist and educator from Mumbai, India. The combination of art and activism has been a major thread of influence that is interwoven into her art and life. Her work is currently on view at Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art’s Agency: Craft in Chicago from the 1970s–80s and Beyond and South Asia Institute’s What is Seen and Unseen: Mapping South Asian American Art in Chicago exhibition. 

Melissa Leandro is a first-generation U.S. Latinx artist of Costa Rican heritage whose practice lies between the media of drawing, painting and textiles. Her work is currently on view in Agency: Craft in Chicago from the 1970s–80s and Beyond at The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art. 

Vida Sačić is a multidisciplinary Croatia-born, Chicago-based artist. Her work in print media explores issues of gender, immigration and labor, with an emphasis on research, process and community. Her work will be shown in Making an Impression: Immigrant Printing in Chicago at the Newberry Library starting Dec. 12, 2024.

Public Preview: Friday, April 25, 11 a.m.-7 p.m.  

 

Catalyst: Im/migration and Self-taught Art in Chicago, the first exhibition to open in Intuit’s newly-renovated museum, is part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art that highlights the city’s artistic heritage and creative communities. 


Catalyst: Im/migration and Self-taught Art in Chicago is the first major exhibition to focus on the importance of immigration and migration in the genre of self-taught art. The exhibition underscores the creative contributions of migrants and immigrants, broadening the scope to include artists deserving of greater attention, while posing questions about access to the art world and how art comes to be defined and valued. Considering artists in the context of their migration experience, cultural backgrounds and communities invites new insights into their work. Chicago, a city with a significant and ongoing history of immigration and migration, is fertile ground for investigating the rich array of academic and nonacademic influences—cultural, communal and familial—that enrich artistic production. The exhibition aims to be inclusive of the experiences of immigrants and migrants while acknowledging social and legal differences.  


Catalyst: Im/migration and Self-taught Art in Chicago explores catalysts for leaving home, for coming to Chicago and for pursuing an art practice. The range of personal and political subject matter and artistic styles reflects artists processing distinct cultural traditions, memories and experiences of living far from one’s homeland. Themes in the artworks range from belonging and longing for homeland, to labor and individual expression, to bearing witness to history, to assimilation. 


The narrative centers on the rise of self-taught art in Chicago during the second half of the 20th century, opportunities for artists leading up to this time, and the continued importance of im/migration and self-taught art to Chicago today.

Catalyst: Im/migration and Self-Taught Art in Chicago, the first major exhibition to focus on the importance of immigration and migration in the genre of self-taught art, will now be on view through March 22, 2026, at the recently reimagined Intuit Art Museum (IAM), 756 N. Milwaukee Avenue. This special exhibition, co-curated by Intuit Chief Curator Alison Amick and independent curator Dana Boutin, spotlights 22 artists and features more than 92 works from leading collections, in a range of media, including drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, printmaking, textiles, ceramics, woodcarving and installation.  

A highlight since opening May 23 is a dramatic 9’ x 18’ site-specific installation by Pooja Pittie, raised in Mumbai, India and now living in Chicago, entitled What We Build to Belong (2025). Encompassing hand-knotted net, cords, readymade nets, crochet, knittings, discarded drawings, wrapped watercolor fragments, residual fiber and paper objects from the artist’s studio, the work has invited museum visitors to add their own written or drawnreflections about belonging, with more than 500personalized paper tags currently contributed.  

“Especially in this current climate, Intuit is proud to be offering the public an opportunity to discover a treasure trove of works created by artists who immigrated to Chicago since the early-20th

century, much of it examining the experience of migrating from one’s homeland. The act of creating art can be a form of personal activism as well as the expression of lived experience, and Intuit is proud to feature the work and honor the lived experiences of those whose stories are frequently overlooked,” saidDebra Kerr, Intuit Art Museum President and CEO. “For those who haven’t checked out our new, welcoming space, yet, our upcoming free Community Day in February is a great opportunity to catchCatalyst, too.”  

Among ongoing programming offered by Intuit is its quarterly IAM Community Days, inviting the public to explore the Museum, learn about the art on view and work with IAM educators to create a work of art while building connections with others. The next IAM Community Day is Saturday, Feb. 7, 11 am-6 pm; museum admission and activities will be free of charge with no reservation needed.

Learn to make handmade cords using a lucet knitting fork, transforming single strands of yarn into stronger, tactile forms with Catalyst exhibition artist Pooja Pittie. In her practice, Pittie uses cords and braids as symbols of connection and resilience. Through this meditative and rhythmic process, participants will be invited to reflect on how we hold, release, and reshape the stories that define us. Materials will be provided, but personal fibers from home are welcome. 


Weaving Stories is presented as part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art that highlights the city’s artistic heritage and creative communities.

Curated by IAM Chief Curator Alison Amick, Drawing with Metal: Sculpture by Bill Brady features a selection of works from over five decades, providing insight into the imaginative sources behind the artist’s practice.

The City of Chicago and its people are celebrated in IAM’s exhibition of works by Chicago-based artist Marvin Young. A lifelong resident of Chicago’s South Side, Young joined Arts of Life’s progressive studio for artists with intellectual and physical disabilities in 2024.


Using graphite, colored pencil, crayon, pen, and marker, Young creates vivid drawings that reflect his community and personal history, capturing imagined and remembered urban scenes alongside large-scale portraits. Young’s architectural landscapes feature vintage Chicago walk-ups, brownstones, and high rises framed by bright skies and classic cars, taxi cabs, police officers, and bustling city life. Curated by IAM Assistant Curator Christina Stavros, the exhibition showcases Young’s vision and prolific practice.

Life is an Art: IAM the party | TICKETS

Intuit’s annual gala

Discover the unexpected with the hottest connectors, artists and community builders from Chicago and around the world. Enjoy an open bar with signature cocktails, inspiring stories during a brief award ceremony which includes a cameo from rock-n-roll hall-of-famer singer Nona Hendryx, followed by a thoughtfully curated dinner.

Purposefully aligned with EXPO Chicago, Chicago’s biggest art week of the year (April 9–12), Life is an Art: IAM the party is the most exciting way to celebrate Intuit’s 35th anniversary and the 1st birthday of the expanded Museum. Step out looking like a work of art, and join us in celebrating our shared belief that art is not a luxury—it is a human right.

Proceeds from this event go towards Intuit’s efforts to advocate for self-taught art and its power as a unique mirror to the world, a refuge for the spirit, and a force for connection and understanding.

Be the art — get inspired by the fashion mood board.


At Life is an Art, we’re honored to celebrate the following
