Description

'Visionary' is a term used to describe art that is created by people who use ordinary media to express their own intensely personal ideas about life. This museum has assembled a wonderful collection of this very Visionary art. Since Visionary artists generally lack formal training, and work outside of established art traditions, their works are as bold, innovative and inspirational as the visions that spawned them. Admission: USD11 Adults, USD7 Students and seniors, USD6 per person for groups of ten or more. Children under four years of age and under are free.
