Outsider Art
Outsider art is art by self-taught or naïve art makers. Here, we define outsider art as art created outside the boundaries of typical culture. This is up for interpretation. This subreddit is for unique art of all kinds (including music, theatre, literature, etc). If posting multiple images in a short period, please make a gallery in a single post, rather than through multiple posts. No longer accepting posts of low-effort work.
