OutsiderArt.info is an international exhibition of art from outside the art world, a gallery that exhibits the modern artwork of artists. 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 real late and real dark here, 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, an empty fist shaking at the moon.
The design of the site stays simple to focus on the artwork. There is an absence of text like size and medium and style and biography so that time will not be spent so much reading as looking. Too often, I watch as people in art museums peer studiously at the little typed label pasted next to a grand work of art and then walk away quickly. Clicking on the artists' own website link on their gallery page here 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. Artists find their way here on their own, stumbling in through the dark internet fabric. I have no board, committee, judges or jury. If I look at a submission and like it or think that my visitors will like it, I put the work on the site. I only accept artist submissions...no dealer, rep or agent can submit an artists work, although all of those are  maybe good ideas for an artist to have.  I only email back on submissions that I will exhibit because to email and say "Thanks but no thanks" never sounds good nor works well. I do not charge a fee to the artist 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 2008 somewhere in America.
