Krannert Art Museum (KAM) is a museum of fine arts that houses the University of Illinois art collection. This link will provide you with more information about the museum, the collection, exhibitions, and events at KAM.

Making Place for the Arts at Home: Performance and Midcentury Modern Architecture is on display at the Krannert Art Museum January 30, 2025 - July 12, 2025. The exhibition "explores four houses, all designed for performance, by and for people in a circle associated with the University of Illinois and the production of modernist culture in Champaign-Urbana from the 1940s through the 1990s. The project frames these houses as crucibles for producing and performing culture and that defined their residents as distinctively modern artists."

The show follows the interlaced lives of three alumni architects in Champaign-Urbana, weaving through communities of art and music. Themes include the home being a place for theatre, performance, and art; home as an incubator for the artist; domesticity; and architect as resident.
