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.

Curated by Alison AmickMarvin Tate is a performance poet, lyricist, published author, collected visual artist and educator. He is known for his biographical art in the form of assemblage, portraits and landscapes composed of found objects and fragments from everyday life. Finding beauty and subtlety in “ev’day” life, objects and people is inherent in Tate’s narrative, which speaks of personal and family history while addressing a broader collective memory through social and political commentary.&nbsp;Image: Marvin Tate, Lake Front Apparition, 2019.
