Oh gosh I didn’t realize there was discrimination for American folk artists. I guess my Art teachers were mostly the “counter” art teachers and made absolutely sure to include a lot of Folk Art because I can remember both in high school and college learning folk art of different cultures and them getting their due.
Funny thing is, and maybe it’s a consequence of that, the only art I like seeing is the school art projects displayed at my local libraries. They have to work within whatever the constraints are of the art project and get some small measure of creativity. It’s their only showings and the schools try to pick the most “displayable”.
So those are things I enjoy.
