New York’s Outsider Art Fair is staging a hybrid online and in-person event this year. The fair, which showcases the work of self-taught artists, is an indie favorite. Explore the 26 pages of virtual gallery space filled with art at every price range.
Experiencing art virtually is no replacement for the real thing, but consider this a tasty appetizer in a year of artistic famine.
See it at outsiderartfair.com/new-york. Registration is required to enter the viewing rooms.

The headliner: ‘Daniel Johnston: Psychedelic Drawings’
A highlight this year is a large show of visual artist and musician Daniel Johnston’s art at the Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village. This exhibit, the first since his death in 2019 of what was believed to be a heart attack, was curated by fellow visual artist and musician Gary Panter. The works feature Johnston’s trademark technicolor palette and superhero sensibilities.

NEW YORK, NY
.- New York City in the late 70s was a collection of villages with its downtown scene, midtown workers, and uptown elegance. It was also a city that was more integrated than ever before or ever would be again. All of the city s humanity met in its streets with layered soundtracks of salsa, rock, disco, reggae, and soon hip-hop booming for all to groove to.
But, NYC was also a place of chaos and mayhem. Teetering on the brink of bankruptcy with rampant crime it was the city s drug users, dealers, and pimps and prostitutes who ruled the streets of Manhattan.
