The dynamic collection, which currently resides in SAIC alum Roger Brown’s (BFA 1968, MFA 1970) former residence at 1926 North Halsted Street in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood, contains more than 2,000 artworks by Chicago Imagists and non-mainstream artists, folk and indigenous art, objects from material and popular culture, costumes, textiles, furniture, travel souvenirs, and sundry objects.

Digital resources are still available to the SAIC community.
