An Artistic Approach To Luxury At The InterContinental Chicago O'Hare Hotel

With the opening of our contemporary art gallery, the InterContinental Chicago O'Hare further sets itself apart from Chicago O'Hare hotels. Featuring a full-time curator and monthly art exhibitions, we blend the warmth of our cutting-edge design with the appeal of a world-class museum.

In addition to being displayed throughout the gallery, the original works of local artist and printmaker Jay Ryan will be featured for sale in the museum gift shop.

Jay Ryan has been making screen-printed concert posters in Chicago since 1995. Known for his hand-drawn text, computer-free design technique, and humorous animal subjects, Jay has worked for thousands of "indie rock" bands -- including Fugazi, Shellac, the Flaming Lips, Andrew Bird, the Melvins, the Decemberists, and Hum, as well as his own band, Dianogah.

Heavily involved in the "Gigposters" community, Jay was Vice President of the American Poster Institute from 2003-2007, and was involved in organizing the successful "Flatstock" poster convention series. As owner of The Bird Machine screenprinting shop, Jay has shown his prints and lectured across the United States and Europe. He lives and works in the near northern suburbs of Chicago.
