Eleven Visionaries and One Submarine presents the work of artists who have had experiences with mental illnesses, features paintings, drawings, installations, sculptures, text and video. The show explores the question, who is really an insider and who is an outsider? The magazine, Raw Vision, describes “visionary” or outsider artists as artists who invent their own forms and techniques and create private worlds. The art brut in this show is not made to please the desires of the viewers, but meant as a tool to fulfill the artist’s desire for self-expression through art. The authentic art is multi-layered, and invites the viewers into other worlds. It leads to the question: How would art be different today if surrealist artists like Max Ernst, Paul Klee and André Breton had not been inspired by the art of psychiatric patients 90 years ago?

The opening reception is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided, and entertainment will include a music/dance performance by Megan Harrold and Charlie Rauh, inspired by the visionary Hildegard von Bingen, and professional karaoke by JJ Jones, who will sing pop songs specially requested by the participating artists. The exhibit runs through Jan. 22, 2011.
