Families & Folk Art: Patchwork Portraits

We often think of self-portraits as pictures of ourselves, but the artists in Self-Made: A Century of Inventing Artists at the American Folk Art Museum show us that there are many other ways to show who we are. Participants will explore the galleries together and then create “patchwork portraits,” inspired by exhibiting artist Nicole Appel’s work. Families and Folk Art introduces children ages 4 to 12 and their accompanying adults to folk art through interactive tours in the galleries followed by hands-on artmaking activities inspired by objects in the museum. Free admission.
