Long night due to a work event, so a really short post– but I was inspired to share this neat article from the New York Daily News about an auction of prisoner art that just took place to support an organization that encourages inmates to create artwork while studying for their GEDs. Some of the artwork, which I couldn’t find pictures of online, will be exhibited at the Queens Museum of Art in mid-June.
Related to outsider art (or naive art, depending on who you talk to), I wanted to share a super cheap chalk portrait that I recently picked up and had framed. It’s late 19th/early 20th century with no signature on thick brown paper. Outside the norm for me to collect, but find it charming– enjoy!
