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.

Unconventional and welcoming, this gallery has become synonymous with showcasing affordable art and creating an atmosphere where art collectors and novices alike can explore and indulge.
Dubbed “Chicago’s Best Gallery”, Chicago Truborn further distinguishes itself through two site-specific murals accompanying every new exhibition. The rotating murals breathe life into the space, immersing viewers in a dynamic encounter with each visit. This distinctive approach not only transforms the space but also empowers artists to express their vision - transcending the constraints of traditional galleries and canvas works.
As the gallery director and public art specialist, Sara Dulkin’s influence extends far beyond the gallery’s walls. Sara has spearheaded multiple large-scale mural projects across Chicagoland such as the Wabash Arts Corridor, the West Town Public Arts Initiative, and Tri-Taylor’s iconic “Chicago’s Most Instagrammable Alley.”
