Join us for the opening reception of "The Folk and Their Art," featuring guest speaker John Scherer! About the exhibition: SCHS’ folk art collection represents everyday people. Who were these industrious artisans? Why study their creative expressions? What does the art of the common man say about our past, and what can we learn through its study? This exhibition will dive into these questions, exploring how folk art invokes meaning beyond aesthetics and artistic ability. Made and used by ordinary people, folk art reflects our needs, values, and desires. By studying both the folk and their art, we invite a deeper understanding of our region, its inhabitants, and the role of creativity in people’s lives.
Join us at the opening reception for The Folk and Their Art as we discuss stoneware. Often, utilitarian stoneware containers were decorated with cobalt blue designs to make them more attractive. These decorations are now considered examples of American folk art, and New York State has among the finest collections.
