The exhibition Made in New York City: The Business of Folk Art will be presented at the American Folk Art Museum from March 19 through July 28, 2019. One hundred works by 18th, 19th, and early 20th-century self-taught artists highlight the history of New York City as a financial and commercial capital. The exhibition is curated by Elizabeth V. Warren, independent curator and author of Red and White Quilts: Infinite Variety, The Perfect Game: America Looks at Baseball, and Young America: A Folk Art History, among other books. The coordinating curator is Stacy C. Hollander, deputy director for curatorial affairs and chief curator of the American Folk Art Museum. “The exhibition Made in New York City: The Business of Folk Art could not be more timely, as it is presented when the Museum is celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of being in the center of New York’s cultural life at Lincoln Square,” says Jason T. Busch,
