Spring Talk - American Folk Art: Stories from our collection

Spring Talk - American Folk Art: Stories from our collection 

22 April | 11.30am

Join us to find out more about our fascinating Folk Art Collection. What defines Folk Art, and why is it so widely collected? In this talk we’ll explore the traditions behind it and uncover some of our most treasured pieces in our collection.   

Our speaker, Nick Russell, is an academic and historian, with a particular interest in American art. His enthusiasm and passion for the subject is infectious and will bring the collection to life.   

Following the talk, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the collection for yourself as access to the Museum and Folk Art Gallery is included in your admission ticket.
