The Chicago Art Galleries Project (CAGP) is supported through the generous funding of the National Endowment for the Humanities in combination with the institutional support provided by The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, in partnership with the Art Institute of Chicago.
An initial NEH Foundations grant was awarded to plan for a full collections processing project for the archives of these six notable Chicago galleries: ARC, Artemisia, Rhona Hoffman, Donald Young, Randolph Street Gallery and Threewalls. During this process, the School and Museum pursued two main outcomes: 1) creating a processing plan for the six gallery collections, supported by preservation and content assessments for each, and 2) piloting a public-facing Chicago Art Galleries Project website, created with the guidance from a volunteer advisory committee made up of gallerists, curators, historians, academics, archivists, and artists.
