Installation view of Highlights from the Intuit Art Museum Permanent Collection
CHICAGO (June 12, 2025) — Many of the artists displayed here are not household names. But, that’s the point. Outsider art is all about the underdog: self-taught people who didn’t go to art school or have gallery representation but still, they create anyway, often with the materials around them.
Intuit champions the diverse voices of self-taught art, welcoming both new and familiar audiences. Intuit presents the work of self-taught artists—also known as outsider art. These artists typically work outside the mainstream and may have faced societal, economic or geographic barriers to a traditional path of art making. By presenting a diversity of artistic voices, Intuit builds a bridge from art to audiences.
