“Right now, I’m deep in final preparations for Hokusai & Ukiyo-e: The Floating World, our summer exhibition featuring works from the Edoardo Chiossone Museum in Genoa, Italy. After that, I’m super excited to shift focus back to some incredible Chicago artists. Opening October 16, 2025, Andi Crist will have a solo exhibition showcasing her phenomenal work in her largest show to date. Then, on January 27, 2026, our Assistant Curator Julia Walker presents Chairish, an exciting show featuring the unstoppable talents of Norman Teague and Alex Chitty. Both exhibitions promise to be absolutely phenomenal.”
