Madeline Gallucci is an artist and organizer living in Chicago, IL. She received her BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2012 and her MFA at the University of Chicago in 2020. Her work uses painting, sculpture, and photography to explore how societal expectations result in anxieties and celebrations of revealing our authentic selves. Madeline is a recipient of the 2016 Charlotte Street Foundation Visual Artist Award and has held residencies at ACRE, Minnesota Street Project, Grin City Collective, and Kansas City’s historic Hotel Phillips. She has exhibited in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, Kansas City, and elsewhere. From 2014-2018, Madeline was Co-Director of Front/Space, an artist-run project space located in Kansas City, MO. Her new project, RADAR, looks to further explore her interests of artist-as-curator and the intersections of these roles in midwestern communities.
