There’s always something exciting happening at the Museum of International Folk Art! Join us for our many programs listed below.
Student Art Exhibition | Exposición de Arte Estudiantil
March 10, 2022 through March 27, 202210:00 AM - 5:00 PM
As part of our School Partnership with El Camino Real Academy School, students’ artworks are featured as a collaborative exhibition. For the past month, students learned about folk art traditions found in the Alexander Girard Wing. Some students had the opportunity to meet contemporary santero Arthur Lopez to learn about his artistic practice and iconography. In response to learning about diverse folk art traditions students explored themes of community, storytelling, and symbolic imagery in their artwork.
We encourage you to come see our young artists’ artwork at the museum. The exhibition will be on view from March 10th through 27th in the Museums Atrium.
