Partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago

Northeastern Illinois University has partnered with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago to offer students, faculty and staff complimentary admission to all exhibits and activities, as well as virtual performances and public programs, through August 2021. (Ticketed additional-fee presentations are exempt from this agreement.)

The museum building is currently closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but it is offering a number of virtual and remote events, including:

The Long Dream
The Long Dream invites visitors to see the city of Chicago, the world and themselves through the eyes of more than 70 local artists whose work offers us ways to imagine a more equitable and interconnected world.
Through May 2

Chicago Works: Omar Velázquez
Through July 25
In his first solo museum exhibition, artist and musician Omar Velázquez presents recent paintings and sculptures that address the intersection of painting, music and folklore.

Talk: Carolina Caycedo
6-7 p.m. Jan. 7
On the opening of the exhibition "Carolina Caycedo: From the Bottom of the River," join a lively conversation between the artist, exhibition curator Carla Acevedo-Yates and Wayuu filmmaker David Hernández Palmar.

When the museum space reopens, students, faculty and staff will be required to present their University ID card in order to receive complimentary admission.
