The Road Trip Continues…

Ann Maners and Alex Papas Gallery | October 6 – December 2, 2021

The Road Trip Continues is part two of a survey of American outsider folk art curated by Brad Cushman, Gallery Director for UA Little Rock. This exhibit spotlights creative people that have not always had representation in the established institutions of the art world. Their voices engage in spiritual story telling, philosophical, political, and pop culture commentary. Functioning outside the social norms these artists have important messages to communicate.
