Madeline Gallucci (b. 1990, Greensboro, NC) is an artist and arts administrator 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. Madeline is a recipient of the Charlotte Street Foundation Visual Artist Award, Chicago DCASE Individual Artist Grant, and has held residencies at LATITUDE (Chicago, IL), ACRE (Steuben, WI), Minnesota Street Project (San Francisco, CA), Grin City Collective (Grinnell, IA) and Charlotte Street Foundation (Kansas City, MO). She has exhibited with Goldfinch, Produce Model, Weatherproof and LVL3 (Chicago, IL); Below Grand (New York, NY); Rebekah Templeton (Philadelphia, PA); Skylab (Columbus, OH); Terrault Contemporary (Baltimore, MD); Pelican Bomb Gallery X (New Orleans, LA); Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Plug Projects, and 21c Museum Hotel (Kansas City, MO).

From 2014–2018, Madeline was Co-Director of Front/Space, a storefront apartment located in Kansas City, MO repurposed for non-commercial exhibitions, readings, workshops, research and publishing projects. Her current project, RADAR, is a curatorial platform designed to support artists through emerging and collaborative initiatives, with a specific focus on projects based in the Midwest. Under RADAR, Madeline created Roommate, a temporary exhibition series featuring two artists in her two-bedroom apartment in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood.

In addition to these projects, Madeline works as the Director of Marketing & Communications for EXPO CHICAGO, the International Exposition of Contemporary and Modern Art, which occurs annually each April at Chicago’s Navy Pier.
