    Cleve Carney Museum of Art is a fantastic space for artists to show. Set inside the MAC the space is well balanced with great lighting and floor space. Depending on artist, plan to spend a half to an hour enjoying the installations. Outside the main gallery you can treat yourself to some very special pieces from COD permanent (personal) collections. Miro, Ito, Lewitt and Ledger to name a few. A great space to recharge and sketch.

    I truly enjoyed every moment here of the Andy Warhol exhibit. So many cool areas to explore. Great venue for art, theatre or interactive fun! They really did a great job with it. Especially studio 54 I thought I was walking into a disco party for real.

    Attended the Frida Kahlo exhibit. A beautiful experience. The flow and setup of the exhibit truly captured her life and creativity. I appreciate that it was accessible and that there was accomodations for children. The outdoor space was beautiful and peaceful

    I traveled from DC to visit the Frida Kahlo exhibit it was worth it. This museum thought of everything perhaps because it's a wonderful Art School. It took nearly two hours to see it all. A+ to the friendly staff of volunteers. Saw the cleaning crew wiping down everything. Pretty busy for a Monday. A very delightful exhibit.

    This is one of the best Andy Warhol exhibitions I’ve ever been to. If you have interest in pop/conceptual/contemporary art, this exhibit is a must. They have excellent material on Warhol’s life and unique art pieces. The exhibition is organized chronologically, so one can learn and see the evolution of Warhol as an artist, while tracking his social influence and impact in the world. Highly recommended. And people at the museum are incredibly kind!

    My mom and I enjoyed our Frida 2021 visit so much, we drove 1 1/2 hours to get to experience the Frida museum and it was definitely worth it. I want to add that the staff were all so nice and helpful! The parking and entrance were easy to find, thank you for the beautiful experience!

    We went for the Frida Kahlo Exhibit: Timeless. We were not disappointed, it was wonderful. The timeline of her life and her artwork was wonderful. The only issue I had was we had to pick a time for our tickets in order to keep social distancing and to limit the numbers of people in the exhibit hall.... Well, there was NO regard for that. It was wall to wall people. It did make me slightly nervous but luckily it did not detract from the wonderful story of this amazing woman's art and fascinating life.

    The Warhol exhibit was incredibly well done considering I had never heard of this museum before. My usual art museum visits are to the Art Institute of Chicago so the bar was high. I appreciated how the Cleve Carney team provided historical context around who Andy Warhol was, how he developed his talent and the scope of his works. The Studio 54 exhibit was cool for the atmosphere and fashion it displayed from Warhol’s days and the people within his influence there. We totally would recommend this exhibit for those who love Warhol and pop art at its best. The price of admission is a bit steep when compared to let’s say the scope at the Art Institute BUT consider it a donation of worth to the COD community to continue their great work.

    I only went there once during the COVID year and I saw a really good exhibit of the Chicago artist Tony Fitzgerald : Jesus of.Western Avenue. The exhibit was both stylish and vibrant. Nice souvenirs in the shop too

    Best place we visited during our weekend in Chicago. The Andy Warhol exhibit was incredible. A lot of great detail and the Museum made wonderful use of all their space. Warhol was a fascinating character that would truly be in his element if he were still alive today in the social media influencer age. The Bank of America Collection of his art on display was fantastic. Great time and favorites included the endangered silkscreens, Club 54 (wish it had a longer video), and the kids stamping area.

    This museum has excellent exhibits. Easy access by car and has plenty of parking. Docents are very pleasant and helpful. I saw Frida Kahlo exhibit last year, and Andy Warhol exhibit this year. Both were very enjoyable experiences. I recommend it highly.

    Interesting Andy Warhol exhibition is available until mid-September. Well worth the time and effort to learn more about Andy and his art.
