What is 'Outsider Art?' The exact definition of the term has been a matter of some controversy ever since awareness of the phenomenon began. Broadly, the term can be applied to forms of creative expression that exist outside the realm of “fine art," and is often used as a shorthand for Self-Taught Art, Folk Art, Visionary (or Intuitive) Art, Naive Art, and Art Brut.
Join Alex Huninghake, Director & Curator of Louisville's Outsider Art Museum & Gallery, for a discussion about the history and impact of this art form, including its deep roots in Kentucky and Appalachia.
