Contemporary Folk at The Society of Arts and Crafts

Folk art draws its power from its directness, honesty and ingenuity. This exhibition brings together six contemporary American makers whose work has been described as folk art, outsider art or visionary art. Half of this talented group includes individuals with no formal art training and half hold graduate degrees. What binds them is that they are compelled to use their hands, hearts and minds to make work of great spirit and visceral interest.
