American Folk Art Museum
Description
Candid, genuine, and unexpected, the American Folk Art Museum is New York City’s only museum dedicated to folk and self-taught artists. Since 1961, the Museum has celebrated the creativity of individuals whose singular talents have been refined largely through personal experience rather than formal artistic training. AFAM's collection includes more than seven thousand works of art from four centuries and nearly every continent—from compelling portraits and dazzling quilts to powerful works by living artists in a variety of mediums.
