Outsider Folk Art Gallery

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

In 1970, George and Sue Viener were introduced to the world of Folk Art and Americana during a visit to the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Museum in Williamsburg, Virginia. In 1986, they met Chuck and Jan Rosenak in Santa Fe, New Mexico, who welcomed them into the world of living self-taught artists.In September, 2005 The Goggleworks Center for the Arts opened and so did the Outsider Folk Art Gallery. The gallery is located on the fifth floor.OFAG shows local self-taught artists as well as the many artists George and Sue have met through their travels across the U.S. George and Sue exhibit the work of emerging artists as well as the work from their extensive private collection; they only represent art which they own, or would personally live with.They continue to enjoy the thrill of the hunt and learning about emerging artists, newly discovered art and “old masters”.
