ROAR! gallery celebrates and promotes Outsider Art

What is Outsider Art?

What Outsider Art is has been long debated by theorists, writers, curators and enthusiasts.  Terms like visionary, raw, self-taught, art from the margins of society, have all been used to describe the genre.

We don’t claim to have a definitive answer, but instead to contribute to the ongoing conversation about outsider art through the diversity and freshness of our shows.

Exhibitions at ROAR! change regularly. Click here to find out about our current exhibition.

Is ROAR! the right place for you to show your work?

Because Outsider Art comes from the way you look at the world, the definition in terms of form and materials is as wide as the breadth of your imagination.

We are interested in paintings, drawings, installation work, three-dimensional, multi-media, sculptural work, collaborative projects and 3D work.

We are interested in art that tells your story - your life experience or perspective, your vision, your cultural or spiritual inspiration.

You may have trained in an art field, but for some reason wandered off the beaten track and further into work which gains meaning because of your world view, or logic rather than a set of externally held values.

Challenge us.  Bring us something different, something new, something odd, so mething true (to you).

To discuss shows and possibilities, please contact the ROAR! gallery manager.
