Art Institute of Chicago welcomes DES Members

Free Membership at the Art Institute of Chicago!

DePaul University and the Art Institute of Chicago have recently begun a community partnership, in which DePaul students, faculty, and staff are granted free admission to the Art Institute. We are pleased to announce that as of October 1, 2017, this admission privilege has been extended to retirees! Any retiree with a DePaul University ID card may present it upon entry and be admitted to the museum.

This is an annual partnership, which begins October 1, 2017, and will expire on September 30, 2018, at which point the university will renew the partnership, and a new confirmation of this admission privilege will be announced to you.

If you are interested in taking advantage of this partnership and need to obtain a university ID card, please contact ID Services at either the Loop or Lincoln Park campus. ID Services offices are open Monday – Thursday, 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m., and Friday, 9 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
