Morning Edition: Outsider Artists in Connecticut

This Weekend kicks off New York City’s 19th annual Outsider Art Fair, featuring the work of artists who have no art school training and often come from folk-art backgrounds.  Many also suffer from mental disabilities.  WNPR’s Josie Holtzman reports on two Connecticut Outsider Artists whose work helps them function inside the mainstream. 

 

The Outsider Art Fair previews tonight and runs through the weekend at 7 W 34th Street in Manhattan.  Visit sanfordsmith.com for more information.
