| Outside In: Biennial Competition 1 August–8 November 2009 Since the early 20th Century, the terms 'Art Brut' or 'Outsider Art' have described those who produce art from the edges of society. This groundbreaking open entry arts prize, held across the South of England, highlights the work of artists who might otherwise have little or no contact with the institutions of the mainstream art world, and invites debate on the often overlooked subject of Outsider Art. |
| Scottie Wilson 4 August–11 October 2009 An exhibition drawn from the Pallant House Gallery collection featuring the highly distinctive drawings of the Scottish outsider artist Scottie Wilson (1891–1972). Starting his artistic career at the age of 44, his work was admired and collected by the likes of Jean Dubuffet and Pablo Picasso and he is considered to be one of the most celebrated outsider artists of the twentieth century.
