Much has changed in the world of self-taught art since the millennium. Many of the recognized "masters" have died and new artists have emerged. Many galleries have closed but few new ones have opened, as artists and dealers increasingly sell through websites and social media. The growth and popularity of auction houses have altered the relationship between artists and collectors. In its third edition, this book provides updated information on artists, galleries, museums, auctions, organizations and publications for both experienced and aspiring collectors of self-taught, outsider and folk art. Gallery and museum entries are organized geographically and alphabetically by state and city.

The authors, members of the Folk Art Society of American and the American Library Association, provide a state-by-state guide to self- taught and outsider art (also called folk art) galleries, auctions, festivals, art centers, museums, organizations, publications, and other resources. Also provides biographies and artistic information on hundreds of artists. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
