Abstract
The purpose of this master's project is to identify ways that art museums are seeking to enhance the visitors' experience of Outsider Art through educational programming related to their exhibitions or collections of Outsider Art. After providing an historical context for Outsider Art and looking at the importance of education to the role of museums, this project will identify approaches that educators at art museums around the United States have taken in their programming. This project closely examines programs related to Outsider Art at three art museums. I will recommend how educators can develop educational programs that support the visions of Outsider artists rather than mainstreaming their art. I will present these conclusions and recommendations at the 2007 American Association of Museums conference in Chicago during a panel discussion for educators and curators at art museums. The topic will be "Creating Educational Programming Inspired by Exhibitions of Outsider Art."
