Outsider art (self-taught art, folk art) is made up of paintings, drawings, sculptures, assemblages, and idiosyncratic gardens and other outdoor constructions created by people who have had little or no formal training in art and who produce (or at least began by producing) art without regard to mainstream recognition or the marketplace. Interest in the field has increased tremendously since the beginning of the 1990s, and there are now several major periodicals, numerous large yearly auctions, and dozens of museums and galleries devoted to the field. This annotated guide contains entries for books and exhibition catalogs, periodicals, newspapers, and films about self-taught artists and their art. Books on every theme and point of view are listed here, including reference books, biographies, exhibition publications of all sizes, picture books, and books meant for children. Publications from the entire century, through 1999, are included. All annotations are meant to describe the contents of the material cited, and to list the artists referred to in the book or article. This book is fully and artfully indexed for easy reference.

Throughout the United States, there are progressive art centers, studios, and galleries that provide services for artists with special needs. Art centers play a positive role in encouraging personal growth, creativity, and self-reliance. This book has two main parts. The first is a directory of art centers in the United States that provide services for men and women living with mental or developmental disabilities. Each entry includes a brief description of the art center's program and objectives, a list of associated artists, and contact information including administrators, websites, phone numbers, fax numbers, and physical addresses. The second part is biographical, giving descriptions of more than 460 artists and their work.

Much has changed in the world of folk art since the millennium. Many of the recognized "masters" have died and new artists have emerged. Many galleries have closed but few new ones have opened, as artists and dealers increasingly sell through websites and social media. The growth and popularity of auction houses has altered the relationship between artists and collectors. In its third edition, this book provides updated information on artists, galleries, museums, auctions, organizations and publications for both experienced and aspiring collectors of self-taught, outsider and folk art. Gallery and museum entries are organized geographically and alphabetically by state and city.
