Intuit Art Museum champions the diverse voices of self-taught art, welcoming both new and familiar audiences. Located in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood, Intuit is a premier museum of self-taught art. The Museum collects and exhibits work by artists who typically work outside the mainstream and have developed a sustained artistic practice. Some artists may have faced societal, economic or geographic barriers to pursuing extensive training in the arts. The museum’s mission is grounded in the ethos that the instinct to create is universal and the arts must embrace, represent and be accessible to all.

Chicago is recognized as one of the first places in the nation to embrace self-taught art as a legitimate genre, ultimately leading to the formation in 1991 of the Outsider Art Society by a group of artists, collectors, art dealers, and art enthusiasts devoted to outsider art.

From 2023–2025, Intuit Art Museum completed a 20-month, $10 million renovation and expansion, transforming its facility into a modern, welcoming museum, in service of its vision to be the most welcoming museum in Chicago and the leading museum advocate for self-taught art.
