Intuit Art Museum to Reopen After Renovation

The Intuit Art Museum, formerly known as Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art, will reopen on April 25 after a $10 million renovation that triples its size to 18,000 square feet. The new museum features multiple exhibition galleries, an education and art studio, a community gathering space, and enhanced accessibility, including ramps and elevators. President and CEO Debra Kerr emphasized the museum's commitment to self-taught artists and aims to attract a broader audience by distancing itself from the controversial term 'outsider art.' The reopening coincides with the Expo Chicago art fair, which highlights the museum's dedication to showcasing diverse artistic narratives. Special exhibitions will include works from immigrant artists and a dedicated space for the renowned outsider artist Henry Darger. Admission will be priced at $15, with free entry for those under 25 and others unable to pay.
