Eileen West Gallery tends to feature "Outside" Art and Extraordinary Art. It tends to hold a new exhibit every month.

From the website:
The term ‘Outsider Art’ was first used by Roger Cardinal, author of the first English language book on this subject. This was an effort to define the French expression l’Art Brut which was originated by artist Jean Dubuffet when he was introduced to work created by patients in mental institutions. It is now widely accepted among art writers and historians as the chosen definition for work which has been created by artists that meet a number of criteria including, self taught, compulsive, visionary and often those who have had mental health issues.

The definition Art Extraordinary was devised in order to reduce the potential alienation felt by those labeled ‘Outsider’. The focus of the term was shifted from the artists to the works they created often in ‘extraordinary’ materials or of ‘extraordinary’ visionary subjects. The term Art Extraordinary highlights the achievements of the artists rather than the obstacles they face."
