OutsiderArt.info is the International
Outsider Exhibition of Modern Art (IOEMA). Our only goal is to expose the greatest array of art to the
greatest array of people. I like to think of the site as an electronic 14 Rue
Clauzel and sometimes, when it is late and dark, I hear
Pere Tanguy laughing!
The key to everything we do lies in the great artwork created by the artists we
are so honored to exhibit; without them, we would wander the earth vacant, shaking
an empty fist at the moon.
The design of the site stays simple to focus on the artwork. There is an
absence of text like size, medium, style and biography so that
time will not be spent so much reading as looking. On this site, clicking on the artists' own website link on their gallery
page will get a visitor hard facts.
I named the site OutsiderArt.info because I am far Outside The Art World. I write,
design and maintain this online exhibition of artwork.
Some of the artists are challenged, some are not and some tear cellophane into
slivers.
Some are self taught, some have MFA's and some a little of both. A
few are inspired, a few visionary, a few battling good and evil.
Some stick together what comes their way.
Some paint what they see and hear and feel.
Others paint what they want us to see.
Some don't paint at all. |
I don't recruit artists; they find their way here on their own,
stumbling in through the dark internet fabric. I have no board, committee,
judges or jury. Looking at a submission, if I like it or
think that my visitors will like it, I put the
work on the site. I only accept artist submissions. I only email back on submissions
that I will exhibit. I do not
charge a fee but all exhibited artists send an original here
for me to keep. You can see some of the work
our artists have sent here.
Once a submission is accepted, an artist can expect to spend time on the
front page and then remain listed and have a gallery for some time.
Occasionally, an artist is removed from the site after time to make way
for new work or more generous artists.
Our artists are free to sell their work through email or any way else
commission free and we can help facilitate a sale commission free. I
encourage direct sales through the artists or their agents. We hope to open a physical gallery in
2012 in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania. For
inquires, if you'd like, you can email me:
