'Outsider' artists exhibit at Augusta Savage Gallery

“Inside the Outside,” featuring the paintings of three New Mexico artists, Jay Dickens, Arnold Nelson and Floyd Nelson, is on view through Nov. 20 at the Augusta Savage Gallery.

The artists share a similar background and approach to art. All have lived a life with developmental disabilities, experienced a length of time confined to an institution and became artists later in life.

The artists define themselves as outsiders because they have developed artistically without any preconceived notions or limitations regarding art. They also have not received formal art instruction.
