Some of The Art League staff took a little field trip today to the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. There are only a few days left, so if you’re interested in crafts, be sure not to miss it!
Tin sculptures, retablo (portable wood and clay altars), ceramics, incredible carved gourds, weaving, chicha printing, painting, musical instruments, and more were represented at the Marketplace (indoors at the National Museum of the American Indian, seen below) and in the festival’s tents, where you could watch artists at work.
Of course, while we were there for the art, we couldn’t help but enjoy some of the music, too. And food — try the carapulcra!
