FolkArtwork and Friends is the brainchild of Adam Oestreich, who started an Instagram account years ago and is now curating self-taught art exhibits across the country. This podcast is a deep dive into some of my favorite folk, outsider, visionary, and self-taught artists, and a conversation with some of my friends in the field about how they got their start, which artists inspire them, and which roadside attractions their children went to kicking and screaming but actually loved.
