Intuit is currently closed for renovation and will celebrate its reopening April 24-27, 2025. Intuit champions the diverse voices of self-taught art, welcoming both new and familiar audiences.&nbsp; Founded in 1991, Intuit presents the work of self-taught artists, also known as outsider art—artists who worked outside the mainstream and may have faced societal, economic or geographic barriers to a traditional academic path of art making. The creative instinct is universal, and the arts must embrace, represent and be accessible to all. &nbsp; Intuit offers world-class exhibitions; a collection of nearly 1,400 artworks; the Henry Darger Room; resources for genre specific education and scholarship; and art education programs for people of all interest levels and backgrounds. &nbsp; Thanks to Intuit friends and the City of Chicago, the museum raised $7 million to renovate its facility. Intuit looks forward to welcoming you back when the museum reopens.

Intuit is hosting a reception in honor of opening In the Land of Pasaquan: The Story of Eddie Owens Martin.&nbsp; Please come celebrate this new exhibition with us!&nbsp;

Poems While You Wait will also be at the museum during the opening.

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.
