Intuit: The Center For Intuitive and Outsider Art

Intuit presents exhibitions of intuitive and outsider arts, and is the permanent home of the Henry Darger Collection. Educational programs are open to the public. The Robert A. Roth Study Center provides a resource to students and scholars who are interested in researching intuitive, self-taught and outsider art and artists.

What is Intuitive and Outsider Art?

Intuit defines "intuitive and outsider art" as work of artists who demonstrate little influence from the mainstream art world and who seem instead motivated by their unique personal visions. This includes what is known as art brut: non-traditional folk art, self-taught art, and visionary art.

History and Mission

Intuit is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1991. Their mission is to promote public awareness, understanding and appreciation of intuitive and outsider art through a program of education and exhibition.

Toward this end, Intuit strives to discover, document, maintain, preserve, exhibit and collect examples of intuitive and outsider art; and to operate a permanent facility in which to pursue such activities.
