Bling Universe
The American Visionary Art Museum is one small speck in a Bling Universe where art reflects life, both literally and figuratively. Adorning one's world – transforming it into a place that defies convention, surprising and delighting, providing hope and wonder – is what the Bling Universe is all about.

“...Creativity is self-generated in areas of the mind beyond or beneath the individual’s willful, conscious control. All he can do is discipline his consciousness to accommodate the needs of the creative process.”
Visionary artist INGO SWANN
from his book, Everybody's Guide to Natural ESP
