Broken Oak Gallery

The Broken Oak Gallery of Thousand Oaks specializes in vintage and fine art photography and in "Outsider" Art*. The Broken Oak Gallery., successor to the Gold Coast Center Gallery, was founded in March of 2005 by photographer Larry Oanss as a place to exhibit his and others works in a small, intimate and informal space. The Gallery derives its name from the eponymous broken oak tree that stands stately in front of the building in which the gallery resides.

*Intuit, the Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art., defines "intuitive and outsider art" as work of artists who demonstrate little influence from the mainstream art world and who seem instead motivated by their unique personal visions. This includes what is known as art brut., non-traditional folk art., self-taught art., and visionary art.
