The Outsider Art Fair or OAF is an international exhibition that features outsider artists who work in a variety of mediums. It is a biannual fair occurring in New York City and Paris, the former taking place in January and the latter in October. Plans were made for a Basel edition in 2018 to run alongside Art Basel, but has since been postponed until further notice. The Outsider Art Fair was founded in New York in 1993 by Sanford Smith as a way to help outsider artists exhibit and showcase their work. In 2013 the fair was bought by the art dealer Andrew Edlin through the company Wide Open Arts, LLC. The Outsider Art Fair originated in New York, but under new leadership has been able to expand to Paris, the first edition of which took place in October 2013. The fair takes place twice annually: with the New York edition taking place in January and the Paris edition in October. With owners changing hand so has the venue for the two editions, the New York happening at the Metropolitan Pavilion and Paris changing venue to Hôtel du Duc. The Paris venue has changed hands once again by moving to Atelier Richelieu in 2018. There was a plan to expand the fair to Basel in June 2018 that would take place along with Art Basel, but plans were subsequently called off in a statement by Andrew Edlin. More information...
