ILLINOIS ART MUSEUMS
NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS & ART CENTERS


Explore Illinois art museums, art centers, and nonprofit art organizations, from major institutions to smaller community-based spaces. This guide provides links to organizations throughout the state and is designed to help you discover exhibitions, collections, educational programs, and other visual arts resources.


Museums and nonprofit art organizations are an important part of Illinois's art community, offering exhibitions, artist programs, lectures, workshops, and special events throughout the year. We encourage you to visit their websites for current exhibitions and programming, and to support these organizations through visits, memberships, and participation whenever possible.


Art-Collecting.com works to keep this guide useful and up to date. If you represent an art museum, art center, or nonprofit art organization, we invite you to list with us and keep us informed about exhibitions, events, and other news. We'd like to build stronger connections with arts organizations and help more people discover and support the work you do. Listing information can be found at the bottom of this guide.

Art-Collecting.com provides easy-to-use guides and resources for exploring the art world, including galleries, museums, nonprofit art organizations, artists, art fairs, art services, exhibitions, and upcoming events. Our goal is to help collectors, travelers, artists, and anyone interested in art discover new places, find exhibitions, and stay connected with art communities across the country.


Each state nonprofit guide is complemented by one of our Gallery Guides featuring commercial galleries, museums, art organizations, artists, art services, and upcoming events. Together, the two guides provide a broader view of the art resources available in each state.


We welcome the opportunity to work with museums, art centers, and nonprofit art organizations and help more people discover their exhibitions, programs, and events. By working together, we can introduce more people to the organizations and communities that make the arts an important part of our lives. We also encourage you to explore and support the nonprofit art organizations and galleries in your own community. Thanks for visiting Art-Collecting.com.
