Now Showing...
The Eye Sees
What the Heart Knows
A collection of local Folk Art
June - July 31


 


A single, satisfactory definition for Folk Art is difficult to come by, because each artist's work is so distinctive.  Folk Art can describe a wide range of objects that reflect the craft traditions and styles of a particular region or culture.  along with painting, sculpture, and other decorative art forms, utilitarian objects such as furniture, pottery and baskets are also considered Folk Art.  These art works are generally produced by self-taught or intuitive artists who often have little academic artistic training, and who have no desire to emulate "fine art".  Characteristics of the art is this show range from traditional forms to whimsical objects of vibrant color and intricate detail.


The Eye Sees What the Heart Knows will be on display for two months, now until the end of July. A reception to meet the artists will be held Friday, June 26, 6:00 - 7:30 PM.
