Courtney Thompson's Company Details
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, or who did not, or sometimes could not, follow a traditional path of art making, often using materials at hand to realize their artistic vision. By presenting a diversity of artistic voices, Intuit builds a bridge from art to audiences. The museum's mission—to celebrate the power of outsider art—is grounded in the ethos that powerful art can be found in unexpected places and made by unexpected creators.Intuit is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The museum's exhibitions, programs and operations are member supported and privately funded through contributions from individuals and foundations. Additional support is provided through the Illinois Arts Council Agency and the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs.
