The University of Delaware is inviting Second Life artists to submit works for a show and talk on Outsider Art to be held October 23, 2009 11:30 am SLT (2:30 pm ET)
Outsider Art: a term coined by art critic Roger Cardinal in 1972 as an English synonym for art brut, a label created by French artist Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture ... Outsider art has emerged as a successful art marketing category (an annual Outsider Art Fair has taken place in New York since 1992).
"Outside the boundaries of official culture." That surely applies to artists in Second Life. So I like that phrase. Also the phrase, "successful art marketing category."
