Parallel Starts: Outsider Art Inside Collections

Aug. 6, 2010 - Oct. 17, 2010

Parallel Starts: Outsider Art Inside Collections looks at the challenge of defining outsider art and how the inclusion of outsider art in museum collections blurs the boundaries between the two worlds. The exhibition is drawn mainly from the Sheldon Museum of Art’s permanent collection and a selection of works by Jeffrey Randall, a Lincoln, Nebraska, artist.
