Mr. Imagination Benefit
February 28, 2008, 5:00–8:00pm

Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art hosted a successful fundraising event February 28th benefiting Gregory Warmack a.k.a. Mr. Imagination. This event included a silent auction, videos and slideshows of Mr. Imagination’s work with food and wine generously donated by Swim Café and Barefoot Wine.

On Sunday, January 20, 2008, Chicago native Gregory Warmack (Mr. Imagination / Mr. I) received a phone call from a neighbor at 3:30 a.m. alerting him that his home- or ''creativity grotto''- was in flames. Destroying the majority of his house and collection, firefighters battled the blaze until 2 p.m.

Although he relocated to Bethlehem, PA in 2001, Mr. I’s influence and artistry can still be seen throughout Chicago including his grotto at the Elliot Donnelly Youth Center, the Chicago Children's Museum Park bench and in the Howlin’ Wolf Bar Area of the House of Blues. The success of this event is a testament that his presence is still felt in the hearts and minds of his friends who remain here in Chicago.

With the benefit generating over $12,000, Intuit is proud to have been able to offer assistance to Mr. Imagination in his time of need. Intuit would also like to thank everyone involved in making this event a success, including those who donated auction items, attendees of the event, our refreshment sponsors and diligent volunteers.
