Folk Art Matters Series
Lectures, Films, Workshops, Pop-ups, and More!
Folk art is a window through which we see communities and individual makers of all sorts, from all cultures, expressing a wide range of identities and beliefs. IFAM provides a place for all of us to gather, learn, celebrate our shared humanity, and appreciate what brings us together.
The Folk Art Matters Series is a way to express our passion for this organization and invite audiences year-round to experience the deep cultural impulses that shape IFAM and inform the creation of folk art from around the world.
