Come hear founders Susann Craig, Bob Roth, Marjorie Freed, Cleo Wilson, and Jan Petry, who has served as Exhibitions Chair since 1995, as they present why they thought Chicago needed an organization, the obstacles and detours as well as their hopes for the future.

Weightless depicts larger women as they are rarely seen: 1) as physically active, and 2) not consumed by the need or expectation to be thin. Running time: 39 minutes, tickets: $15 4/30, 7pm: My Heart is An Idiot    My Heart Is An Idiot is a documentary about love that spans more than two years and a hundred cities.

Running time: 95 minutes, tickets: $10   Both screenings will include Q&A with the filmmakers.     Save the Date            20 years old and we're not slowing down.

There is a lot of things about Charles Dellschau that we may never know. If his work hadn't been salvaged from the landfill it was dumped in, we might not have known anything about Dellschau at all. Stop by to see his rendition of the Fallnot flying machine on display during Architecture of Hope - the Treasures of Intuit.     Charles Dellschau Fallnot (detail), n.d., Tempera and pen on paper  19 x 17 in., Gift of Jan Petry  Membership and Support Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art is a non-profit art center that promotes outsider, intuitive and self-taught art.
