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.
