Art, Culture
To cross the threshold of the Craft & Folk Art Museum is to enter a realm of life-affirming, culturally-nourishing, mind-expanding possibilities. It is a collaborative work in process, functioning as catalyst, bridge, and magic mirror. It draws together the passions, discoveries and dreams of collectors, curators and designers. It combines traditional and folk art with the creations of contemporary craft artists. It transforms them, through the medium of its unique space on museum row, into powerful exhibitions. These experiences bridge the ethnically diverse cultures of Los Angeles and return to them, as in a mirror, the affirming revelation: what you see is what you are and it is wonderful.
