A CELEBRATION OF VISIONARY, FOLK, AND OUTSIDER ART

Each summer, Judith Racht Gallery presents Outsiders Outside Art Fair, gathering 30+ folk and self-taught artists from across the country at the gallery’s landmark vintage schoolhouse grounds. Racht is a longstanding advocate for intuitive work and a respected centerpiece of the lakeshore art community. Her annual fair draws throngs of serious collectors, fans, and the simply curious for a highly original and entertaining visual feast.

Local Tip: If you come away primed for even more visual stimulation, Alchemy, Sojourn, and Window Shopping are fantastic stops minutes away. Then, debrief over wine and oysters at nearby Out There.
