Last Chance to view 'Angels, Devils and the Electric Slide: Outsider Art from the Permanent Collection'

'Angels, Devils and the Electric Slide: Outsider Art from the Permanent Collection' includes Outsider artists Minnie Black, the Rev. Howard Finster, Jimmy Lee Sudduth, Mose Tolliver and Purvis Young. Outsider art refers to the visionary work of contemporary artists who have never had formal training. The artists in the exhibition hail from across the Southeastern United States, and their art ranges from painting to ceramics to sculpture in wood or metal. All of their works give voice to an interior world those personal fantasies, meditations on everyday life and unspoken fears that most people cannot put into words or images.
