The Folk Art Society of America, founded in 1987, has become a dynamic, non-profit organization which advocates the discovery, study, documentation, preservation and exhibition of folk art, folk artists and folk art environments. Artists, educators, historians, writers, collectors, dealers, curators, museums, libraries and art enthusiasts from across the United States and around the world join together to share a common bond of interest in self-taught art and the unique individuals involved in its creation.

Research Collections

The Folk Art Society's research library of books, exhibition catalogues, videotapes, slides, photographs and primary source materials continues to grow, serving as a repository for important scholarship and information about individual artists and the field of self-taught art as a whole.
