WHAT IS FOLK ART? - STEVE SLOTIN, Folk Art Promoter 

We're always asked "what is folk art anyway"....it's really hard to explain.  Everyone has a different opinion Here's a short video of our friend Steve Slotin explaining folk art as he sees it.  

Steve has done more to promote Southern Folk Art than any other individual.  Over twenty years ago he started, what has became the largest folk art show in the world.  Every August he assembles over 90 different folk art galleries from all over the country.  Each year between 12,000-15,000 pay to shop and buy from the biggest selection of folk art in the world.

In addition to the annual Folk Fest, Steve and Amy Slotin promotes two - 2 day auctions of nothing but folk art with items selling from $50 to $50,000.  The auction is held in Buford GA and also streaming live on the internet. There usually 1000 lots and bidders are on the phone and the internet. Each auction averages one million dollars.
