Chicago's Intuit Art Museum set to unveil $10m renovation

Chicago's Intuit Art Museum has completed a two-year, $10 million renovation that triples its footprint and adds a lower level featuring the Henry Darger Room, a permanent installation recreating the artist's apartment. The museum will preview publicly on April 25 during Expo Chicago and officially reopen on May 23. The renovation, led by president and CEO Debra Kerr and local architecture firm Doyle & Associates, balances improved accessibility and natural light with preservation of the building's historic character. The inaugural exhibition, "Catalyst: Im/migration and Self-taught Art in Chicago" (May 23–January 11, 2026), features 75 works by 22 artists exploring migrant and immigrant contributions to outsider art from the 1930s to today.

How the Arts Club of Chicago Stays Contemporary in its Second Century

The Arts Club of Chicago, founded in 1916, continues to balance its historic legacy with contemporary relevance under executive director and chief curator Janine Mileaf. The club, which gave Pablo Picasso his first solo institutional exhibition in the U.S. in 1923 and hosted figures like Gertrude Stein and John Cage, now operates as both a public space and a private membership club. Mileaf’s programming emphasizes Dada and surrealist roots while showcasing experimental, site-specific works, including a recent installation by Korean artist Haegue Yang. The club maintains a close relationship with Chicago’s arts community, aiming to expose audiences to challenging and surprising art.

Anthropomorpha at the Arts Club

The Arts Club of Chicago is currently hosting "Into Your Arm’s Length," a solo exhibition by New York-based artist Oren Pinhassi. The installation features a series of anthropomorphic sculptures crafted from sand and polymer, which Pinhassi integrates with rigid architectural elements like steel bedframes, glass panels, and venetian blinds. These hybrid forms create a surreal landscape where bulbous, organic shapes appear to interact with or "clutch" domestic furniture, challenging the viewer's perception of texture and weight.
