While some members of staff are hopped up and ready to listen to a mammoth dub step session in New York this weekend, others are thinking along more cerebral lines.

Sanford L. Smith & Associates presents their 18th Annual Outsider Art Fair from today through February 7, 2010. Sponsored by the American Folk Art Museum, the Outsider Art Fair draws 38 dealers tied by a desire to highlight artists working outside of the mainstream. This includes art that is visionary, self-taught, intuitive, and primitive in nature.

In all, a viable way of spending a potentially snowy weekend.

The fair takes place at 7 West 34th Street, New York, New York.

If you are in the big apple this weekend don’t miss the Outsider Art Fair. This year the annual fair has moved from its original location, the Puck Building, to a more “adult” environment. Still, the art remains true to the mission of the gathering.

Head to 7 West 34th, New York, NY to visit the show, or to the New York Times for a review and related slide show.
