Now you can explore all the exhibits and spend as much time as you want without standing on Iines: prowl around the instruments, see the artists, and enjoy the defining moments of this musical form.

Everyone has a story to tell—a life lived, witness to and participant in events both private and shared. Such moments are captured by American folk and self-taught artists in powerful visual narratives that offer firsthand testimony to chapters in the unfolding story of America from its inception to the present. American Perspectives: Stories from the American Folk Art Museum Collection showcases more than seventy stellar works of folk and self-taught art from the museum’s premier collection. Beautiful, diverse, and truthful, the art illuminates the thoughts and experiences of individuals with an immediacy that is palpable and unique to these expressions.

The artworks are organized into four sections—Founders, Travelers, Philosophers, and Seekers—that respond to such themes as nationhood, freedom, community, imagination, opportunity, and legacy. Evocative visual juxtapositions and accessible contextual information further reveal the vital role that folk art plays as a witness to history, carrier of cultural heritage, and a reflection of the world at large through the eyes, heart, and mind of the artist.

Exhibition curator: Stacy C. Hollander

Join the staff online from the Music & Recorded Sound Division of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts for a discussion of "The Magic of Beverly Sills" by Nancy Guy. We are happy to have the author as a guest participant. With her superb coloratura soprano, passion for the world of opera, and down-to-earth personality, Beverly Sills made high art accessible to millions from the time of her meteoric rise to stardom in 1966 until her death in 2007. An unlikely pop culture phenomenon, Sills was equally at ease on talk shows, on the stage, and in the role of arts advocate and administrator. Intimate and revealing, "The Magic of Beverly Sills" explores the alchemy of art, magnetism, community, and emotion that produced an American icon. "The Magic of Beverly Sills" can be downloaded with a valid library card from Project Muse Registration is now open! Please provide your name and email at Google Forms. You will emailed a link 48 hours prior to the event.
