Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art

Mission Statement

Intuit champions diverse artistic voices and pathways, inviting all to explore the power of outsider art. Founded in 1991, Intuit is a premier museum of outsider and self-taught art, defined as work created by artists who faced marginalization, overcame personal odds to make their artwork, and who didn’t, or sometimes couldn’t, follow a traditional path of art making, often using materials at hand to realize their artistic vision. Intuit offers world-class exhibitions at its Chicago facility; a collection of 1,200 artworks; a range of public, teen and award-winning school programs, held both on-site and online; and the Robert A. Roth Study Center, which focuses on contemporary self-taught art.
