Outside In: North West
Artists who face a barrier to the art world for health & disability reasons
Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, Carlisle
23 March – 23 June 2013
This exhibition features a selection of works by artists living in North West England who have chosen to align themselves with Outside In. From intuitive artists to self-taught visionaries, Outside In: North West provides a unique insight into the extraordinary breadth of work produced by individuals from outside the mainstream art world.
Outside In provides opportunities for artists with a desire to create who see themselves as facing a barrier to the art world including for health and disability reasons. The goal of the project is to generate a ‘gentle revolution’ which will enable all who create to have their work seen and valued:
This exhibition is a partnership between Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, Pallant House and Prism Arts.
