Les Amis de l'Art Brut

Les Amis de l'Art Brut is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of "Art Brut," or "raw art." This term refers to artworks created by individuals who are outside the conventional art world, often including self-taught artists, those with mental health challenges, or marginalized communities. Founded in 1996 in Switzerland, the organization supports exhibitions, research, and collections that showcase these unique artistic expressions. By highlighting these artists, Les Amis de l'Art Brut seeks to celebrate authenticity and creativity beyond mainstream art paradigms.
