Sept. 21, 2008 through Jan. 11, 2009

The Craft and Folk Art Museum (CAFAM) and LAPS present a juried membership exhibition that explores the idea of identity as interpreted in diverse and numerous ways. The artwork should answer the question of “Who am I and where do I belong?
This exhibit seeks artwork that communicates personal identity in the context of shifting cultural roles and labels. Experimental prints that investigate the subject originally are encouraged.

Artists’ statements are requested and will be displayed along with the selected artwork. LAPS members are encouraged to create prints on the theme of identity specifically for this exhibition.

 

Entry material due June 30th, 2008 to LAPS Exhibition Chair, Cathy Weiss.

ABOUT CAFAM The Craft and Folk Art Museum is located in the Museum Row section of the Miracle Mile district, along with four museums, including the Los Angeles County Art Museum. Since its inception in 1965 as The Egg and The Eye, (incorporated as a museum in 1973), CAFAM has been an active part of the cultural life of the city. The museum’s mission has been to champion cultural understanding by encouraging curiosity about our world through the universal lens of folk art and craft. CAFAM’s curatorial mission is based on expanding traditional views of craft and folk art by incorporating contemporary perspectives on living traditions.
