About Intuit Art Museum

Intuit Art Museum 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—also known as outsider art. The Museum collects and exhibits work by artists who typically work outside the mainstream and have developed a sustained artistic practice. Some artists may have faced societal, economic or geographic barriers to pursuing extensive training in the arts. 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. Learn more at www.art.org.

Your participation in an Intuit Art Museum program constitutes implied consent to be photographed, and for those images to be utilized by Intuit for educational, fundraising and marketing purposes. If you prefer not to be photographed, please let a staff member know and we’ll be happy to respect your wishes.
