Contemporary Folk Art

August 23 – September 18, 2008

For decades, contemporary folk art was defined as work created by rural or small town untrained individuals. In more recent years the field of contemporary folk art has expanded to include works produced in big cities and suburbs across the country. Folk art and its artists have been referred to as stimulating, naive, self-taught, primitive, amateur, visionary, intuitive and always creative. Contemporary folk artists and their innovative use of materials, are the heart and soul of this exhibition.
