Center Aisle Gallery Exhibit: The Re-Flowering of American Folk Art American Folk Art is strongly representative of the spirit of the country and a fresh enthusiasm for it becomes apparent with each passing decade. New examples of it are no doubt being created at this very moment. This exciting exhibit, inspired by one of collectors’ favorite publications The Flowering of American Folk Art co-authored by Alice Winchester and Jean Lipman, will celebrate the 35 years of emerged folk art since this iconic book was first published. Selections for this exhibit include painted furniture, textiles, decorative accessories, utilitarian objects, and items for play. Many pieces will be available for purchase as selected from the private collections of exhibiting dealers and friends of Heart of Country. Friday – 1 p.m. A distinguished panel of speakers headlined by Stacy Hollander,
Senior Curator of the American Folk Art Museum in New York, will discuss the
breadth of what is considered folk art, the trends in collecting it,
and the increased value placed on this unique art form. A rare opportunity
to hear from the best. Saturday – 1 p.m. During the very popular debut of this event last year, this year’s focus emerged as a hot topic; “The Value of Refinishing & Restoration; Viewpoints from Professionals.” Whether referring to fine art, folk art, furniture, pottery, or textiles, this discussion will help to illuminate the fine points of distinction when considering a purchase. This forum allows novice buyers and seasoned collectors alike to
