Highlights from the Intuit Art Museum Collection

The founding spirit of Intuit Art Museum lives on in our main floor gallery dedicated to the rotating exhibition of artworks from our Permanent Collection. On one visit you may discover works by self-taught artists such as William Hawkins, Martin Ramirez and Nellie Mae Rowe. On another, you may be fascinated by Chicago’s very own Lee Godie, Mr. Imagination and Joseph Yoakum. With more than 1200 pieces (and growing), there are endless opportunities to make new connections, and importantly, to be surprised.

A longstanding champion of self-taught artists.”
