Whose Folk Opening Reception

Whose Folk features work by contemporary artist Cal Siegel in conversation with a curated selection of objects from the museum’s collection. Siegel’s sculptures and photographs – various ceramic and wooden forms, vessels, and wall hangings all refer back to historical architecture and objects with equal parts reverence, humor, and criticality. When displayed alongside historic artifacts from the Pratt homestead, visitors are asked to consider how the past informs the present.

This exhibition is the first curatorial project by Tony Bluestone, a newly appointed member of the museum board. He is interested in how civic life is shaped by history and how cultural institutions deepen community engagement.

The exhibition runs from May 25th through July 28th with an opening reception on Saturday, May 25th from 1-3 pm.
