This one-acre museum housing more than 67,000 square feet of exhibition space features more than 4,000 permanent pieces of ‘outsider art’. It is an American icon. The museum’s founder, Rebecca Hoffberger, converted this shuttered copper paint factory and whiskey warehouse into a cultural mecca of art brut. It is now designated as America’s National Museum for Self-taught Art by the U.S. Congress.

• Expand the definition of a worthwhile life
• Engender respect for and delight in the gift of others
• Increase awareness of the wide variety of choices available in life for all
• Encourage each individual to build upon his or her own special knowledge and inner strengths
• Promote the use of innate intelligence, intuition, self-exploration and creative self-reliance
• Find out what each of us can do best, in our own voice, at any age
