The President of DePaul University, Robert Manuel, announced today that the school’s DePaul Art Museum (DPAM) will close its doors at the end of June.

The museum opened in 2011 and has hosted dozens of free, important exhibitions, featuring work by artists such as Tony Fitzpatrick, Barbara Rossi, Ellen Lanyon, Dawoud Bey, Firelei Báez, and recently Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle. DPAM has also led a multi-year Latinx Initiative that formalized the museum’s efforts toward fostering Latinx representation and participation in museum exhibitions, collections, and public programs.

This year marks the 10th edition of our annual Arts Guide and over 43 years of CGN documenting, supporting, and celebrating art in Chicago and beyond.

These guides are more than listings. They’re a living record of artists, spaces, and moments - some that have endured, some that have transformed, and many that continue to shape the cultural landscape year after year.

We’re so proud to keep this history in print.
