Exhibitions
Crazy living
Who wouldnโt want to live in a sustainable caravan with animals on the roof in Festival City? Or have dinner at Ghanaโs Fried Crispy Chicken Club Restaurant?
In December 2022 artists from Outsider Art Ateliers did a workshop with 11 employees of Oost West Architecten. During this workshop, they dealt with a number of themes in small groups. Topics such as โhousing shortageโ, โsustainable buildingโ and โmaking the city more accessible to animalsโ were discussed. Other artists wanted to depict their personal interests like โParis and โa city in Ghanaโ.
In the weeks following the workshop, a number of artists continued to work on these themes and it was decided in a democratic consultation what title the exhibition should have: โCrazy Livingโ.
In addition to the workshop results, the exhibition Crazy Living shows autonomous sculptures, paintings and drawings with the theme of architecture.

Outsider Art Gallery
In the Outsider Art Gallery changing exhibitions of well-known and less known outsiders from the Netherlands and abroad take place. You will find paintings, drawings, prints, ceramic statues, sculpture, collages, photos and textile art. All works are for sale, the entrance to the gallery is free.
The Outsider Art Gallery is founded in 2016 by Cordaan care organisation in cooperation with the Hermitage Museum Amsterdam and Museum het Dolhuys Haarlem.
The art in the Outsider Art Gallery is often unconventional. Most the artists have an intellectual or mental disability. They are not concerned with commercial targets and their works do not reflect current trends in art. The art comes bubbling up from within โ it is in their minds and just needs to come out. Their work is fascinating, versatile and very pure. The Outsider Art Gallery offers a fully-fledged art platform for these colourful artists, not inside the walls of a care organisation, but rather in an inspiring museum environment.
Outsider Art Studios
Currently a group
of 15 artists is at work in the Outsider Art Studios, located above the gallery. They are accompanied by professional artists and pedagogical employees and work on their own art:
painting, drawing, print making and digital media. In the studios companies or
groups of individuals can also attend art workshops led by an outsider artist.
