The Jack and Sandra Guthman Gallery is designed to showcase the work of current and former Chicago-based artists. While the Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance serves as a home to several of the city’s performing arts companies, this gallery reveals a similar community among visual artists. Virtually all of the artists were students or are now faculty members at one of Chicago’s prominent art schools. In addition, the artists also share an interest in conceptual art, which places more emphasis on the concept, or idea, behind an artwork than on the object itself.

The Audio Description tour allows patrons narration of the works available at the gallery, which can be accesed by clicking below.
