The Yocum Institute for Arts Education will highlight the artistry and storytelling of folk traditions with The Folk Show, opening October 17 in the Holleran Gallery. The exhibit will remain on display through November 29, 2025, and is free and open to the public.
A special opening reception is scheduled for Sunday, October 19, from 1 to 3 p.m., where community members can meet artists and explore the vibrant range of folk-inspired works on display.
The exhibition features an array of regional folk art, including hex signs, redware pottery, fraktur paintings on wood, stitchery, and textile art. Additional works include wood carvings, handcrafted furniture, collage, egg tempera paintings, and intricately decorated pysanky eggs.
In addition to the gallery display, visitors will also have the opportunity to shop a craft bazaar featuring handmade goods and folk crafts, offering a chance to take home pieces that reflect the heritage and creativity of the region.
