Florida Folk

July 3 through September 27 , 2009

Florida has been the home of several of the most well known and original folk artists to emerge from the southern part of the country.  From the early work created by Jesse Aaron who received a message from God that he should carve to the iconic portraits created by Mr. "Eddy" Mumma through the three dimensional animals of O.L. Samuels, the exhibition will feature a choice selection of pieces that present each of the artists in their unique and most original advantage.  Don't miss this wide variety of images drawn from the collections of the Mennello Museum of American Art, The City of Orlando permanent collection and several local private collectors.
