This summer, kick off your Friday nights at the museum. Enjoy a different award-winning documentary film each week in addition to wine, beer, food, and extended hours in the galleries. Each week’s film will focus on a different self-taught artist, some featured in the museum’s current exhibition Self-Taught Genius from the American Folk Art Museum in New York City.
This week's films: Day with Thornton Dial Sr. and Ralph Fasanella’s America. Thornton Dial, sometimes called Buck Dial, creates sculptural objects and large assemblages using found objects.
