According to the museum, the renovation was made possible in part by a $5 million community redevelopment grant gifted in 2022 as part of the Chicago Recovery Plan.
The museum reopened with an inaugural special exhibition entitled "Catalyst: Im/migration and Self-Taught Art in Chicago." The new exhibit will be on view through Jan. 11, 2026, and spotlights 22 artists while featuring over 90 pieces of work in a wide range of media.
Additionally, admission will be free to the public for Memorial Day weekend from May 23-26.
