Though the doors are shut, the collection of nearly 4,000 artworks remains intact and accessible online, with director Laura-Caroline de Lara pledging to preserve it. The university’s decision, made without broad consultation, has left Chicago’s art community reeling — especially emerging voices who found a home there. Despite the museum’s small budget, its impact was outsized, and now, the hope is that Chicagoans rally to keep academic art spaces alive.
