Folk Art by definition, is the art produced by self-taught people - in other words, those who have not studied at art school. However today, the term "Folk Art" is also used to describe craft techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation. Then, there's Outsider Art, which is art that is created outside of the norm. That is to say, without guidelines or accepted standards. There's also Visionary Art. It seems that there are those among us that have a spiritual force guiding them to create works of art, usually with a strong spiritual message - this is called visionary art.
All self-taught artists are welcome to submit their websites for inclusion in this category. Galleries and shops who deal in folk art are also welcome, as are museums with folk art collections.
Folk artists.
Please submit only sites for individual folk artists.
Galleries that display and/or sell folk art.
Please be sure that the submissions are "outsider" rather than "folk." Outsider artists may see themselves and their art work as being more refined and sophisticated (not always decorative); with deeper introspection.
Pictures and descriptions of wonderful creations you can see while traveling along side of the road. Could include larger than life objects, weird and wacky homes, structures made from glass bottles and other discarded items, castles and sanctuaries build by folk artists.
