The past is prologue: We produce stories from underrepresented voices throughout history. Our relevant and diverse works empower our community to consider where we go from here.
Throughout history, few women have been allowed a
place in the world’s most famous galleries. This season, Prologue will put
women’s artistic ability on display as we explore the stories of female visual
artists from the past and connect you to Chicago’s thriving art community.
We begin this fall.
