Group exhibition
Folk Nation: Crafting Patriotism in the United States
Oct 9, 2026 – Feb 28, 2027 Upper West Side
Works from the museum’s own collection on how vernacular art shaped an American sense of self.
Timed to the United States semiquincentennial, the show draws on the American Folk Art Museum’s collections to trace links between vernacular art and the making of a national identity.
One featured work is Miss Liberty Reaches Out to Welcome the Persecuted by Reverend Benjamin Franklin Perkins (1904–1993).
