this weekend has been spent almost entirely at the american visionary art museum (avam), one of the most unique and moving museums i've ever been to. you must go to it if you ever are in baltimore!! i have been volunteering at the rowhouse rembrandts workshop weekend, a partnership between the painted screen society of baltimore, the maryland traditions program, and avam. elaine eff, the former city folklorist and the foremost scholar on the vernacular tradition of painting one's window screens with kitschy designs, organized the entire event. it was a great opportunity to meet some of these amazing folk artists and see them in action before this once-common art form dies out.
our tasks ranged from pouring gallons of latex paint into deli containers to bartending to stacking chairs to filing out auction paperwork. today we got a chance to listen to some lectures on local history as well as to paint our own baltimore screens! it was very rewarding to paint our own after reading and hearing about them for so long.
to learn more about painted screens, check out the society's webpage: http://www.paintedscreens.org/
below are some photos from today's happenings- none from the lively polka dance/auction/screen painting family reunion yesterday...
