About
Pritzker Director Madeleine Grynsztejn and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago invite you and a guest to attend the Members' Preview of West by Midwest. Enjoy complimentary snacks and a cash bar while being among the first to view the MCA's newest exhibition.
West by Midwest tells the overlapping stories of artists with Midwestern ties who moved to the West Coast from the late 1940s to the 2000s. What emerges from this study of networks is a complex, humanizing view of artists who profoundly shaped the course of contemporary art.
