Outsider Art Museum & Gallery is Louisville’s premier destination dedicated to showcasing Outsider Art. Nestled in the charming historic Portland neighborhood, the museum offers a unique perspective on creative expression beyond traditional cultural norms. Visitors can explore a diverse range of artworks that fall under the umbrella of Outsider Art, including Self-Taught Art, Folk Art, Visionary Art, Naive Art, and Art Brut.

The term "Outsider Art" was coined by French artist Jean Dubuffet in 1972 to describe raw, unadulterated artistic creation existing outside established cultural parameters. At Outsider Art, visitors can witness the direct and uninhibited forms of expression from artists who operate beyond mainstream art society. This museum celebrates the authenticity and purity of art created by individuals who may be untrained, disabled, or marginalized, offering a dignified space for their work to be appreciated.
