HMA to Present Folk Art from Permanent Collection 🖼️ | |
 | |
The Huntington Museum of Art will present Folk Art: Eclectic Expressions from the Collection from July 1 through September 24, 2023.
“It’s going to be the summer of folk art at the Huntington Museum of Art,” said HMA Senior Curator/Exhibition Designer John Farley. “This exhibit of folk art from our permanent collection includes standout examples by Dilmus Hall and Howard Finster, among others. This overview of folk art will serve as an anchor to two additional folk art exhibits also scheduled for this summer at HMA, highlighting the work of Minnie Adkins and Mike Norris as well as Earl Gray.”
Folk Art: Eclectic Expressions from the Collection has been curated from HMA’s 200 works by self-taught artists and includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, textiles, and examples of vernacular furniture – most created in Kentucky and West Virginia.
“This exhibition reminds us that living creatively and expressively is not reserved for those with specialized artistic training or academic education,” Farley said. “Making things with our hands, our hearts, and our minds is the province of all people.”
