The Department of Prints and Drawings has completed a major renovation of its facilities. This project was part of a larger initiative that restored and improved many aspects of the Art Institute's historic Allerton building. The renovation addressed the pressing need in the department for expanded art storage, updated facilities in the print study room, and improved spaces for offices, matting and framing, and paper conservation.

The Jean and Steven Goldman Study Center reopened on September 17, 2002. Appointments to view selections from the collection of prints and drawings can be made by calling (312) 443-3660 or by e-mailing pdstudy@artic.edu.

The Department of Prints and Drawings houses a library of catalogues raisonné and other reference books pertaining to artists in the permanent collection. These books are catalogued with the holdings of the Art Institute's Ryerson Library and may be used in the print room during its regular hours.

Classes and groups: 10:30–11:45 a.m., Tuesday–Friday
