chicago depaul art museum closing 1234774646

DePaul University has announced the permanent closure of the DePaul Art Museum (DPAM) in Chicago, effective June 30. The decision comes as the private university faces severe financial strain, including a $27.4 million budget deficit that has already led to significant staff layoffs. While the university plans to convene discussions on how the museum's building and its 4,000-object collection might serve future academic needs, the institution as a public-facing museum will cease operations following its final exhibitions in March.

Director Laura-Caroline de Lara had successfully raised funds to keep the museum operational through the current season, but the university's leadership remains committed to the closure as part of a broader cost-cutting initiative.
