Intuit Art Museum will officially reopen to the public&nbsp;Friday May 23, 2025&nbsp;and then offer free admission over the Memorial Day weekend. Intuit champions the diverse voices of self-taught art, welcoming both new and familiar audiences.&nbsp; Founded in 1991, Intuit presents the work of self-taught artists, also known as outsider art—artists who worked outside the mainstream and may have faced societal, economic or geographic barriers to a traditional academic path of art making. The creative instinct is universal, and the arts must embrace, represent and be accessible to all.&nbsp; Intuit offers world-class exhibitions; a collection of nearly 1,400 artworks; the Henry Darger Room; resources for genre specific education and scholarship; and art education programs for people of all interest levels and backgrounds.&nbsp; Thanks to Intuit friends and the City of Chicago, the museum raised $7 million to renovate its facility. Intuit looks forward to welcoming you back when the museum reopens.
