Join us as we explore the wide realm of folk art, outsider art, and visionary art - and other artistic expressions that are often situated outside the world of mainstream fine arts. This exhibit will highlight the unconventional, the authentic, and the self-taught artists. What materials and perspectives are artists exploring? How are artists blurring the lines between fine and folk, maintstream and outsider? What cultural traditions, personal histories, or social commentaries inspire their work? What identities and issues are finding a voice? How does this work challenge our ideas and address the human condition? These and other ideas and expressions will find a home in this exciting new exhibit.
Juror: Elaine Eff - curator, folklorist and oral historian who has contributed to the study, presentation and practice of folk and traditional arts in Maryland and America.
About the juror: Eff has conducted folk art field research and curated numerous exhibitions nationwide including The American Folk Art Museum in NYC, Winterthur Museum, The Renwick Gallery for the Smithsonian Institution and state arts councils in Vermont, West virginia and Georgia. As head of the Cultural Conservation Program of the Maryland Historical Trust, she co-founded Maryland Traditions, the folklife program of the Maryland State Arts Council, responsible for the funding or origination of community documentation, publications, festivals, exhibits, museums and archives.Eff was Baltimore City Folklorist beginning in 1985 and Maryland State Folklorist from 1989 until 2011.Her teaching credits include MICA, Goucher College and UMBC. She is the author of The Painted Screens of Baltimore: An Urban Folk Art Revealed (University Press of Mississippi, 2013) directed films on Painted Screens, Smith Island and Wye Plantation (2019).Eff holds a doctorate in Folklore and Folklife from the University of Pennsylvania, a Masters degree in Museum Studies from the Cooperstown Graduate Program and BA from George Washington University.
Juror’s Statement: It is always a treat to hear and see what people think folk art might be. Given artists' license to embroider definitions or play it straight for ‘Folksy' was especially eye-opening. Some remarkable contributors from near and far surprised me with their takes on genres, materials, memories and subject matter. Objects both deeply personal and downright silly made it a fun show to judge. Thanks Annmarie for letting me be a part of your take on my world.
