Portland - Folk Art Global

Folk arts reflect the cultural life of a community. Traditional folk arts are usually expressed in practical objects like homewares, personal items, textiles, furniture and home decoration, but also included painting particularly in domestic landscapes and portraits.

Recent years have also seen a resurgence in new work which is inspired by tradition, but given a modern twist, with new colour pallettes, modern materials and contemporary subject matter.

On display at the Portland Library until 31 January 2025
