          Folk Art
Since the early 20th century experts have been arguing about the definition of American Folk Art. Nearly 100 years later, there is still no one definitive description. Weathervanes and penny wooden dolls are ubiquitous in folk art museums and books, but they were often mass produced. Quilts and hooked rugs are also considered to be Folk Art, but many follow predetermined patterns. A new exhibit in the display cases at York Public Library invites you to look at examples of Folk Art in the collections of the Museums of Old York and decide how you define Folk Art.
