DEAR FOLK ART LOVER           #1....11-APR-20
Just like y’all…we’re locked down with no definite date for release.  By now you must be getting bored watching too many Netflix shows, hours of Jeopardy, or re-runs of the Andy Griffith Show.  We've been in the house for the duration with only two quick trips when Walmart opened up early for us old folks. We'll all get thru this together and our nation will survive.
In order to keep your interest in Folk Art, during these trying times, we thought you might like watch some You-tube videos by and about some of today’s most well known Folk Artists.

This is the first of my new Folk Art Blog Series
If you find these videos interesting and worthwhile…please let me know and I’ll insert more links in future blogs. We have lots of info on the Greatest Generation of Folk Artists, plus links to dozens of Folk Art Environments, museums and other places to see folk art.   Please forward this email to your folk art friends.  Thanks!
Most all Folk Art Shows have been cancelled, and most artists are hurting. We are trying to help all we can. We’re still shipping from our virus free environment. We don’t have a bricks and mortar store…we just operate on-line from our home office.  We’d appreciate it if you’d check out our artists…we stock creations from over 40 different artists.
