        <description><![CDATA[The American Visionary Art Museum showcases works by self-taught, outsider artists that have often been overlooked in the art world. Founded in 1995 by Rebecca Hoffberger, this unique arts attraction has a permanent collection and holds yearlong exhibits showcasing pieces centered on one theme such as faith, substance abuse and war and peace. The museum, located at 800 Key Highway in the Inner Harbor, houses galleries, a sculpture barn and plaza, a giant whirligig, a wild flower garden and the Joy America Cafe. It also hosts weddings, meetings and other events. In 2004, the museum added the Jim Rouse Visionary Center, which houses an exhibition space called the Visionary Village, Hall of Social Visionaries, teaching spaces and a meeting hall. Although the outsider art it exhibits has often been overlooked, the museum garners national attention. In 2005, Rosie O'Donnell and South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu were among the more than 400 supporters celebrating the museum's 10th anniversary. In keeping with its eclectic spirit, every May, AVAM hosts the Kinetic Sculpture Race, in which human-propelled creations race over pavement and water at the Inner Harbor for the mediocre and next-to-last awards. The museum also holds the annual art car parade at Artscape.]]></description>
