Outsider Art Fair

Wide Open Arts, LLC was formed by art dealer Andrew Edlin and became the owner of the Outsider Art Fair in 2012. Then in its 21st year, WOA expanded, relocated the New York fair, and introduced guest curatorial projects and the OAF Talks program. WOA's debut 2013 edition of the fair tripled previous attendance levels and received rave reviews from many renowned writers and publications. Propelled by this success, Wide Open Arts took the fair to Paris for the first time in October 2013, helping to reinvigorate the city's long tradition of recognizing and championing art brut and self-taught artists.
