Chicago non-profit

Since its founding in 1940, the Society for Contemporary Art (SCA) has followed a clear and precise path: to promote a better understanding and appreciation of the art of our time at the Art Institute of Chicago. Through its annual series of lectures and events, the Society has become one of the museum's principle vehicles for exploring new and challenging art. Each season the Society's programs offer members access to an exciting roster of national and international artists, historians, dealers, and curators as well as visits to distinguished private collections in Chicago and major art centers both here and abroad.
