Celebrating our new home, bold vision and the people who made it possible Impact Report 2025
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. 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.
From President and CEO Debra Kerr
Surprising, imaginative and ready to welcome you—friends from near and far, the new Intuit Art Museum is finally here!
Thank you for participating in creating one of the most welcoming and accessible museums in Chicago and beyond.
What makes friends like you special to Intuit (IAM) is our shared belief: Art is for everyone. And IAM is for you.
Only a weeks in, already IAM is attracting an incredible new level of attendance and visibility. There’s something here for everyone. Plan your visit, renew your membership or consider a meaningful gift to make art accessible to all.
Thank you for being part of this extraordinary new chapter.
IAM yours,
Debra Kerr President and CEO
Welcome to Your Newest Museum Destination
In May 2025, Intuit completed a $10-million transformation of its current facility located in Chicago’s vibrant West Town neighborhood. The transformation was made possible by generous donors and a $5-million community development grant from the City of Chicago using American Rescue Plan funds.
This renovation realizes Intuit’s vision to be the most welcoming museum in Chicago, with a new friendly façade, updated accessibility features, a community gathering space, a learning studio for teachers and students, and triple its former exhibition space.
Read on in this report to learn about the amazing partners being honored in the Museum spaces.

IAM Discovering What an Art Museum Can Be
Catalyst: Im/migration and Self-Taught Art in Chicago
On view through Jan 11,
2026
Discover more than 80 works by 22 artists from 13 countries featuring drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, printmaking, textiles, ceramics, woodcarving and installation.
Curated by Chief Curator Alison Amick and Independent Curator Dana Boutin, 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, who continue to invigorate the culture of the city. In our work to reexamine artists through a cultural lens and further the scholarship on lesser-known artists deserving of greater attention, Intuit’s curators accessed primary sources providing new and corrective data; consulted with more than 200 artists, family members, community leaders, historians, librarians, museum professionals, gallerists and collectors; and collaborated with project advisors. Examining artwork in this context offers deeper insight into the cultural, community and family influences that stimulate artistic production.
A catalog will be published to accompany the exhibition.
Catalyst: Im/migration and Self-Taught Art in Chicago 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. The Dorothea and Leo Rabkin Foundation provided additional funding for the exhibition catalog.

Teacher Fellowship
Every school year, a dedicated cohort of Chicago Public School teachers immerse themselves in the history and contemporary practices of self-taught artists to design a high-quality visual arts curriculum inspired by art at the Museum.
Intuiteens
Every summer IAM brings teens together to connect with self-taught art and each other. This paid opportunity invites young people to interact with the Museum, develop their art-making skills and expand their creative practice, engage in critical discussion, learn about careers in the arts, and explore the city’s vibrant arts community.
Intuit in the Community
We’re expanding our reach. Intuit’s community partnerships are sustained relationships aimed at reducing barriers to art by making our resources accessible beyond the walls of the Museum. We collaborate with a variety of nonprofit organizations to bring engaging art experiences and dialogue to communities throughout Chicago.
Artist-made Details Grace the Museum
Exposed brick walls, original wood floors and restored façade elements honor the building’s history, while collaborations with artists help make the Museum feel fresh and modern.

Installation views of Henry Darger: The Room Revealed
Artist Henry Darger’s fascination with the weather, both in his writings and his art, inspired the projections by motion designer Warren Rudd seen in the exhibition Henry Darger: The Room Revealed Darger’s art also inspired the animations created by composer Philippe Cohen Solal and Gabriel Jacquel seen in the windows of Darger’s room.
“… [The Museum’s] new spaces precisely reflect the institution and locale: smart and economical, attractive and a little tough.”
