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.

The work of Philip Carey can be described as colorful, wacky, strange and full of fun. Born in 1942 in Long Beach, Calif., Carey creates art inspired by his dreams and the medical treatments he received between 2004 and 2015. During this period, Carey was diagnosed with heart disease, kidney disease and prostate cancer, and he began collecting the medical ephemera associated with his treatment.
