Compass: Folk Art in Four Directions

New York City has a rich history tied to its thriving harbor, which drove the development of its urban environment. The American Folk Art Museum has organized an exhibition at the South Street Seaport Museum in response to this context with a lively sampling of collection objects that speak to both the romanticism and the gritty realism of the seaport district. Hollander will share highlights of the exhibition through four themes: Exploration, Social Networking, Shopping, and Wind, Water, and Weather.
