THE FOLK ART MUSEUM

http://www.folkartmuseum.org/superstars

I am happy to say that the FOLK Art museum is finding support 

from other NYC ART institutions.

The Brooklyn Museum, the New-York Historical Society, and the Museum of Arts 

and Design have expressed interest in working with the American Folk Art Museum to 

identify potential exhibitions where the museums respective collections inform and 

excite one another.

So there is HOPE for the FOLK ART MUSEUM, and we need to

support them as much as possible...

please go visit

2 Lincoln Square, Columbus Avenue at 66th Street

It's so worth it to see these SUPER STAR quilts!
