American Folk presents makers from Texas all the way to Maine with one goal in mind: To expose the world to the creative powers and originality of our artists. Their visions bring life, color, joy and complexity to our gallery and to your home. Self-taught art ranges from what is referred to as primitive all the way to exquisitely contemporary. We know these artists and only purchase directly from them; some who have garnered world wide attention, some exclusive to American Folk….all have a unique way of expressing their world & their hearts. We are inspired by them every day….
WEBSITE & CURBSIDE: We offer phone consultation about individual pieces that you are interested in. We can ship or hold and offer CURBSIDE PICKUP if that feels right. Great care is taken in the wrapping & boxing of the artwork to be shipped, giving you confidence that all aspects of your purchase are handled properly.
CUSTOM PICTURE FRAMING: Please call for an appointment. 828-281-2134 The hours of 10 – 11 AM or 5 – 6 PM are set aside for framing appointments – we can create together with less distraction, but can be available many other times & will work with your schedule, of course.
GIFT CERTIFICATES are available in any denomination.
