Folk art: art by “the folk.” That is to say, art that reflects a culture or place, often by self-taught artists and displaying some sort of rough-hewn charm – a raw edge proving their folksy bona fides. Join the collaboration between two local folk art havens as they present the best and brightest of their stables. SAGE Studio and folkartwork have created a brain trust, a mind meld if you will, to showcase the unexpected glories of untrained, outsider art. From painted records to pipe cleaners (trust me, you haven’t lived until you’ve seen what SAGE artist Montrel Beverly can create with that medium), each piece gives delightful surprises. – Cat McCarrey
