NYFE Summary
The museum began in 1961 to collect and study art made largely outside formal art-school training. Its holdings now span four centuries and places around the world. Portraits, quilts and works by living artists show the range of materials and personal experience behind this art.
Changing exhibitions bring these objects into conversation with social and cultural history. Public programs include talks, workshops and live music.
